APAWS is a no-kill, nonprofit animal rescue. Let us help you find your new best friend!! We believe every animal deserves a chance.
(63)
We don't euthanize based on how much the treatment will cost or how adoptable the animal is! If you have a question or concern about our foster pets or an animal in need, please email us directly at [email protected]. Our page is maintained by social media volunteers, and the fastest way to reach a board member and receive an official answer concerning an animal is via email. Please feel
free to share your adoption stories, photos, any questions about events and fundraisers, and your experience with APAWS on this page. We would love to hear from you!

๐ต ITโS $5 FRIDAY ๐ต
APAWS wants to encourage you to donate just $5 (or more if you can) to help the animals we bring in to apaws care from all over the state of Louisiana. If every follower on our page donated just $5, we would have over $25,000! Imagine the amazing things we could do to help save so many lives. The shelters in our area are overflowing and we are receiving so many pleas to rescue. Two things hinder our ability to help animals in need- Funds & Foster Homes.
So please, donate today for $5 Friday! These animals desperately need our help and so many of us are trying endlessly to save as many animals as we can. We need YOUR help to save them! Even if you cannot donate today, please share this post! Itโs never ending but we must continue to educate and to save as many lives as we can. Everyone
