QWAK
Disaster Relief for Animals, Ensuring Pets Stay with Their Families.
Our Mission Statement
At QWAK Humane Shelter Systems, our mission is to ensure that pets are cared for and protected during times of disaster, keeping families whole by providing compassionate and effective animal sheltering solutions. We utilize proven systems to prevent disease, safeguard animal welfare, and support communities in need. Through collaboration, preparedness, and a deep commitment to kindness, we make sure that pets and their families are never separated during the most challenging times.
Quality
At QWAK, we believe in delivering the highest quality of care for animals and support for their families. Quality means that our systems, shelters, and services are built on proven, effective protocols. We are committed to upholding the highest standards in animal welfare, from intake vaccinations to disease prevention and sheltering practices. Every detail is designed with the safety, comfort, and well-being of pets in mind, ensuring that we provide the best possible care during disasters.
Wisdom
Our organization is founded on the collective wisdom gained from years of experience in high-intake shelters, disaster response, and community collaboration. We learn from every operation and continuously improve our practices to serve pets and their families better. Wisdom also means understanding the needs of animals and the people who care for them, ensuring that our approach is informed, compassionate, and effective in real-world situations.
ACTION
QWAK is defined by our readiness to take action when it matters most. In times of disaster, we act swiftly to deploy our mobile units, establish emergency foster care, and collaborate with partners to ensure no pet is left behind. Action is about being prepared, proactive, and committed to making a difference in the face of crisis. It’s our dedication to being there for animals and families when they need us that drives every effort we make.
KINDNESS
Every animal deserves kindness and compassion, and we strive to provide that in everything we do. Whether it’s providing medical care, socialization, or finding them their forever homes, we act with empathy and care in every step. But kindness doesn’t stop at the animals—it also extends to every person who works and volunteers with us, as well as every individual seeking our help. We understand that those who come to us are often facing difficult times, and we are committed to ensuring they feel welcomed, valued, and supported throughout their journey with us.
