“Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living creatures, Man will not find peace.”
These words of the great physician and philanthropist, Albert Schweitzer, are the basis of AWARE’s philosophy.
We are a non-profit organization and for more than 30 years we have been working – through education and neutering campaigns – to transform the lives of many animals who have suffered abuse, or have been abandoned on the hard streets of Guatemala. Currently we are caring for over 300 dogs and 30 cats, living in our shelter just outside Sumpango, Sacatepequez, and waiting for a family to give them the life that all pets deserve. All of our animals are neutered, vaccinated and dewormed.
