 Welcome to the Alton Area Animal Aid Association! Most people in the area refer to us merely as
“5A’s”. We have been an important part of this community for over 50 years; serving the surrounding areas of Alton, Godfrey, Bethalto, East Alton, Wood River, Roxana, Hartford, plus many other adjoining communities.
5A’S is a not for profit 501-C-3. To make sure all of your donations are used as you intended we run Quicken for our daily business accounting, are audited monthly by Croxford Accounting Firm and then audited again yearly by Hughes and Associates Accounting Firm. We are very careful and serious about maintaining the donations we receive for the animals. We are supported entirely by donations, grants (whenever we can get them) and the funds generated by our Thrift Shop where the donated items are then sold to support the animals. Our Thrift shop is managed and run by a staff of very animal loving and caring volunteers.
5A’s Humane Society is a non-kill Shelter located in the Alton/Godfrey area placing into “forever homes” around 800 animals every year! While the animals are with us they are given a nice inside area with outside runs, medication, food and lots and lots of love.
Whether you're interested in adopting a pet, helping a homeless animal find a home, contributing to 5A's, becoming a volunteer, or just finding out about an important community organization we thank you for visiting our Web Site and hope it is helpful to you.
Our Thrift Shop in Wood River is one of the largest in the area. We offer items such as clothing and household items, jewelry, pictures, furniture, a very large selection of books. We accept your donations of used items during our regular working hours and since we are a non-profit we will be glad to provide you with the necessary forms so that you may deduct your items.
