Partner Spotlight: Animal Welfare Association (AWA)
AWA works tirelessly to provide care, homes, and love to animals; here’s how to get involved and get rewarded with a free year of AAA roadside assistance when you adopt.
AAA
The Animal Welfare Association (AWA) is a nonprofit organization in Voorhees that is committed to saving animals’ lives across the country. As a pillar of the South Jersey community, AWA emphasizes that connection between people and animals. In addition to providing services beyond adoption such as foster opportunities, veterinary services, pet therapy, and low-cost neutering and spaying, AWA hosts events and educational opportunities to further their support of dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, and of course, the people who love them.
AWA’s vigorous efforts and ceaseless compassion are why AAA South Jersey is proud to have the organization as a partner. As an added perk for anyone who adopts a new companion from AWA, AAA offers a free, one-year membership that includes 24/7 roadside assistance along with other services and savings designed to benefit any member of the family.

AAA South Jersey: What inspired you to work at AWA, and how has the experience been?
Jaime Moore: I've been at AWA now for a little over a year, and it has been just a wonderful, wonderful journey. I love getting to come to work every day and being around the animals, helping them find their forever homes. I have always had a passion and a love for animals, so, being able to work with them every day and help them out is really just a true passion of mine.
AAA: Why did AWA decide to partner with AAA?
J.M.: We have had a great relationship with AAA over the last few years. AAA has been a really great sponsor to a lot of our education programs. So, we have been able to provide a lot of students to be able to go to our summer camps and different programs because of our partnership with AAA. It has been a great opportunity for children to be able to learn, get to be encouraged, and be surrounded by animals—even if, you know, we need a little help getting there. Our summer camp is pretty amazing.
