Lake Area Partnership for Animal Welfare

Who We Are:

LAPAW Rescue works to provide a SECOND CHANCE for homeless, abused, and neglected companion animals. We have found homes for hundreds of animals. We are looking for new members who would like to help with our attempts to improve the lives of local animals. Are you interested in becoming a foster parent or just want to help in some other manner? Come by and talk to us every Saturday at Petsmart. We welcome the chance to speak with people interested in helping animals.

How We Operate:

Our group is made up of Lake Area residents who, by working together to raise funds have committed to helping homeless dogs receive a second chance at finding a home. We operate by holding fundraisers and receiving donations (all donations are tax deductible). We are not part of any publicly run facility so we do not receive funds except those that we are able to raise. Donations are used to provide vaccinations, heartworm treatment, heartworm preventative, spay/neuter, etc. None of our group receives compensation for the work that we do. Please help us rescue those dogs in the Lake Area in need of help.

We do not have a facility to house our animals. All animals are fostered in the homes of volunteers. Fosters come from local shelters when they are "out of time." Our greatest need continues to be finding foster homes for rescued dogs

Up coming Events:

We are at PetsMart every Saturday from 12:00 to 3:30 every Saturday and would love to visit with potential volunteers. We are there with our foster dogs who are looking for their new forever loving families.

We have discount coupons for low-cost spay/neuter with some local vets. If you are interested in getting one of these please come by Petsmart and speak to one of us. We will be happy provide you with one.

Volunteer Information and News:

If you are interested in volunteering, we meet on the last Monday of each month at Piccadilly Cafeteria (Ryan Street location). Meetings start at 5:30 PM (eat) and 6:00 (meeting begins). All volunteers are welcome. Volunteers are also available to speak to your civic group about our accomplishments and goals for the Lake Area. It only takes a few people to make a small difference. No time to volunteer or make a donation? You can help us by just telling everyone you know about us.

Our adoption fees:

Our pet adoption fees are $100.00 for mixed breed dogs and usually $150.00 for the pure breeds. These fees go toward the health check done by a local vet, all shots, and the spay or neuter of the animals. All heartworm positive dogs are treated prior to adoption. We ask for an additional $50.00 to cover half of the cost for the treatment
