A shelter for homeless animals, to offer a spay and neuter program, & provide humane education. We have two locations:
Adoption & Education Center
724 2nd Ave.
The Quad City Animal Welfare Center is a no-kill shelter founded in 1977, with the purpose of saving animals one life at a time. W. Milan, IL 61264
Spay/Neuter & Wellness Clinic
612 1st St. Milan, IL 61264
Our mission is threefold: operating a shelter for homeless animals, having a spay/neuter program, and providing humane education to the community. Through this approach, we are able to impact
the lives of thousands of animals and people annually by bringing pets and people together for the benefit of both and putting a dent in pet population. Please note any comments made on Facebook may be used for QCAWC marketing purposes online, at the shelter, or at other locations. Third party fundraising posts are not allowed on the page to reduce confusion and protect our donors from potential scams. Please message or call us if you need help, however, and we will do our best to connect you with resources.
Donate and change their lives. ❤

🚨SEEKING FOREVER FOSTER HOME FOR DAISY! 🌼💖
This is Daisy, the loving 5-year-old pit bull mix who desperately needs a cozy home to thrive!
This wonderful girl is struggling in the shelter environment, and her struggle to gain much needed weight is a testament to how much she needs a loving family. Daisy's heart is full of love and playfulness; she adores attention and is always ready for a fun game. She does have severe allergies, but that's where our Forever Foster program comes in: you provide the home and love, and we’ll take care of everything else. She just needs a soft place to land and we know she would feel so much better and her allergies would improve if she was in a home rather than the shelter. She has already waited here for 4 months now... Daisy is ready to bloom into her happiest self with the right family.
Open your heart and home to Daisy today, and let her show you the true meaning of unconditional love! 🌼
Please share to help Daisy find her family.
It's a beautiful day to get your dog or cat's vaccines! Our mobile vet van will be at the East Moline Public Library until 2pm today.
