P.A.W.S. (Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society)has moved to a larger facility Feb. 2004.This is great for our dogs, they now have room to go out and run and play.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

We are a non-profit organization. Our main goal has been the spaying and neutering of animals in order to control the population of unwanted animals, thus reducing euthanasia, starvation and cruel death in our area.

Our group goes into the pound each Wed. and pull whatever adoptable animals we can care for. We then take these animals directly to a veterinarian where they are checked, sterilized and "fixed up" when needed.

Without our adoption program, all of the animals you see pictured on our site would not have had the opportunity to find their forever home.

We need more helping hands to keep P.A.W.S. running. We need foster homes for cats, dogs, kittens and puppies. We urgently need assistance from people who are experienced in grant-writing and fund-raising so that we can continue to expand our facility. We're always ready to take donations for dog food,"we are now using Hills Science Diet "for all our dogs,puppies,cats and kittens. Kitty litter, vet medicines, old, clean towels and blankets as well as leashes and collars.

If you would like to help in any way, may it be as: Foster parent, Writing Grants, Fund Raising Activites, Cleaning, Walking dogs, Feeding and Cleaning Cat Cages, Donations of money, Time, Supplies. Please do not hesitate to contact us. 392-1601. Or e-mailing us at: paws2003@bellsouth.net.
