Welcome to the

HAW LIBRARY

Enhancing Human and Animal Well-Being [HAW] hinges on the equitable flow of information. Too often the most useful, lifesaving, information falls out of reach of those who need it the most. We’re determined to change that.

CARE’s Circle of Learning and Leadership will steadily add all that CARE learns and all that your community teaches and shares with us here, within a truly community based circle of learning. 

Community Partners can download Limited Access Research & Development studies as well as Community Animal CARE [CAC] materials as they become available.

Public members must register to gain access to free Community Animal CARE [CAC]  materials. 

Please contact redi@careawo.org for more information on becoming a Community Partner or for information on Research Partnership.

The temperature inside your vehicle can rise almost 20º F in just 10 minutes, and almost 30º F in 20 minutes. The longer you wait, the higher it goes. At one hour, your vehicle’s inside temperature can be more than 40 degrees higher than the outside temperature. Even on a 70-degree day, that’s 110 degrees inside your vehicle!
