Our Pet List

Desperate Need!

The APAWS policy is to give any animal we rescue any medical care available as long as they are not in extreme pain, or if the medical care will not provide a better quality of life. This week we rescued Hope the 8 - 10 week old pug. Hope was left on the doorstep of Hammond Animal Control last week in a shoebox after being attacked by a larger animal. The vet for the animal control did not look at her for five days! We were contacted by one of the most caring animal control workers you could meet to see if we could help.

We thought Hope just had puncture wounds... Hope has three internal tears, a broken pelvis, a cracked vertabre and a crushed clavical. We have amazing vets in our area, but none know how to help her. She had to go to the LSU vet school, the bill should be around $7,000. Our president made the decision to do what ever is necessary for Hope because she isn't showing signs of pain. Throughout her exam she licked the vets face and tried to play. The only time she screamed was when she got shots. Our president couldn't put such a sweet puppy to sleep, she has too much life ahead of her. If you can find it in your heart to help, please do! Anything is appreciated. We are a 501(c)3 organization so donations are tax deductible.

We are a small group who has been hit very hard this year. In February we rescued 68 cats and 7 dogs (6 heartworm positive) from a hoarder's house. It seems like every dog we've saved from animal control has been heartworm positive. We need help!

Who We Are

A.P.A.W.S. (Animal Protection And Welfare Society) is an all volunteer group of people who are dedicated to ensuring that all pet animals in and around the Baton Rouge area live in homes which provide for all of the animal's physical and emotional needs (including daily maintenance, medical care and nurturing) for the animal's lifetime. Some volunteers provide food, shelter and love in their homes to cats and dogs who have been injured, abandoned or thrown away. Others help by transporting the animals to veterinarian appointments, volunteering on Adoption Days, participating in fund raising activities, mailings, publicity efforts and public education. Because we receive no external funding, we rely on fund raising efforts and donations to fund our efforts. Your unwanted items can help support unwanted animals. APAWS is now affiliated with "HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW" thrift store on Burbank drive in Baton Rouge. Items may be donated MONDAY - SATURDAY between the hours of 9:00- 4:00. Simply designate sale proceeds to benefit APAWS. APAWS will receive 50% of sale proceeds! It's that easy! So clean out those closets! Go through the kid's clothes, empty out that garage! Unwanted items help unwanted animals Sale of just $20 of items will provide APAWS with $$ for a rabies shot... Sale of $60 will spay/neuter a homeless animal! Clean up and help out!
