CAAWS Needs Volunteers
to provide foster homes for pets. We are severely limited in the number of
pets we can save by not having sufficient temporary homes for pets
awaiting adoption. If you can help, please contact us at caawsmail@yahoo.com,
(225)-752-5801, or use the online form. CAAWS provides a healthy, spayed/neutered animal. CAAWS will also provide any medical care necessary and medicines for heartworm and flea prevention.
You can try it for a week or two!

5 free dog spays each month. The
first 5 qualifying applicants for the specific month will get the
spays. You MUST fill out an application for the spay.
Filling out an application does not guarantee you a free spay. At
this time we are only able to offer this for female dogs. To
apply for a free spay you may visit at our shelter on Quinn drive

Start 2008 out on the right paw, become a foster
family!
CAAWS is limited by how many dogs and cats we can take in from the streets/public or the local shelters. The more foster families we have joining our program, the more animals we can take in. Unfortunately, that list is way too short and we have to turn away far more sad animals than we would like. Our building facilities can house only a few cats and dogs and our foster families are swamped with foster dogs and cats/kittens and until those get adopted, we have to turn others away.
If you would like to foster JUST ONE,
either a dog/puppy or cat/kitten until they get adopted, CAAWS provides a
healthy, spayed/neutered animal and pays for all medical expenses as well as
all medications that may be needed. You provide a temporary, safe, & loving
home until they are adopted and, if possible, bring the animal to adoption
day several times a month. If you are able to help, please call or
email CAAWS at 752-5801 or
caawsmail@yahoo.com. The animals
are counting on you! Please consider becoming a foster parent.
If you are interested in volunteering, CAAWS has many opportunities
from which to chose. Check out our current
list of volunteer opportunities. Maybe we have the perfect one for you!
If you can't volunteer, perhaps you would consider being
a "Best Buddy" to an animal in Foster
Care. Chose a cat or dog and contribute to its upkeep. We will keep you
informed of his/her status. Check out the options
here.
