💵 IT’S $5 FRIDAY 💵
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! It’s never ending but we must continue to educate and to save as many lives as we can. Everyone

Meet Ducky!
Adoption Pending

Ducky is a Mixed Breed. Ducky is approximately 2 years old and weighs approximately 30lbs. Ducky is current on vaccines, heartworm negative and will be microchipped and neutered before going to his furever home. Ducky is another dog that came from our recent hoarding case. When we got him, he was severely emaciated (he weighed 15lbs). You can see just how far he has come in the pictures attached to this post. Ducky has an amazing foster family that is teaching him how to be a dog again. He is shy at first but is a very sweet boy once he’s comfortable around you. He’s the perfect lap dog and wants nothing more than to give you all the kisses and cuddle on the couch. He absolutely ADORES children and does well with other dogs his size and bigger.

If you are interested in meeting and/or starting the adoption process on Ducky, the first step is to please click this link and complete an adoption application : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKJuBVKkrItDqrhKd-mDCjUFjJXkwxqzAH-Y9MII4kIX4XQA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Meet Harley!

Harley is 8yrs 11months old(June) and 55lbs. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped, crate trained & house trained. Harley is heartworm positive, but is on slow kill treatment and has already had one round of doxy. Harley is searching for her retirement home. She was picked up by animal control after being found abandoned. When she came to APAWS, she was having some joint pain and after doing x-rays, our vet thinks that she was hit by a car at some point in her life. We found pellets on her x-rays that showed she’s also been shot before. All that to say- Harley has had a rough life. Her foster parents have been absolutely amazing and she has come a long way. It’s time for her to find her furever. Actually, it’s long overdue. Harley is good with other calm dogs and ignores cats. She loves to get as close to you as she can. She enjoys playing with toys, chilling on the couch or her dog bed. She deserves to be loved and spoiled and shes waited a long time and fought through so much for the chance to have that. We really hope someone can give her that chance. Harley’s adoption fee has been significantly reduced in hopes that it will help her find her furever. Video of Harley will be in the comments. Please consider opening your heart & home to Harley.

Meet Jameson!

Jameson is a Mixed Breed. We believe lab/pit/boxer mix. He is 1yr 3months old (June) and weighs 56lbs. He is current on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, heartworm negative, crate trained & housetrained. Jameson came to APAWS with 8 of his siblings over a year ago. The last of his siblings were adopted 6+ months ago. He has grown up in our rescue and really deserves a home of his own. Jameson knows sit, touch, kennel, inside/outside. He needs some work on leash skills. He is a comedian and so goofy. There is never a day that goes by where he doesn’t make you laugh. He is extremely affectionate & snuggly, loves playing with bubbles, squeaky toys, and playing hide/seek. He is very food/toy motivated. He is dog selective. There is no pattern on what type/personality/characteristics of dogs he likes or dislikes. We would have to introduce him to your current dog and see if it works. Please consider opening your heart & home to Jameson.

If you are interested in meeting and/or starting the adoption process on Jameson, the first step is to please click this link and complete an adoption application : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKJuBVKkrItDqrhKd-mDCjUFjJXkwxqzAH-Y9MII4kIX4XQA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Meet Wrigley!

Wrigley is a Terrier Mix. He is 4 months old, approximately 15lbs, current on vaccines (completed all 4 puppy sets), neutered and microchipped! We believe he will stay small when fully grown but we cannot guarantee size or breed. Wrigley is kennel trained. He knows sit, touch and working on his leash skills. He is very food motivated. He is very active and very sassy with other puppies but respectful of older dogs that maybe don't want him in their space. He can be a little bit annoying to them at first but takes direction well. Wrigley will chase cats and other small dogs but if the small dog or cat is confident and will play, he enjoys playing with them and being friends.

If you are interested in meeting and/or starting the adoption process on Wrigley, the first step is to please click this link and complete an adoption application : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKJuBVKkrItDqrhKd-mDCjUFjJXkwxqzAH-Y9MII4kIX4XQA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Meet Hinata!

Hinata is a Great Dane/Bloodhound mix, she is 3.5 years old (April), spayed, current on vaccinations, Heartworm Negative, microchipped & house trained. Hinata was over 130lbs when she got to us. She is 105lbs currently but she should be around 90-95lbs. She still needs to lose some weight but is doing great! Hinata does resource guard her food around other dogs. She is dog selective but seems to get along better with male dogs. She absolutely adores ALL people. She has never met a stranger. Hinata does have some separation anxiety, which can be worked on with proper structure and training. Please consider opening your heart & home to Hinata.

If you are interested in meeting and/or starting the adoption process on Hinata, the first step is to please click this link and complete an adoption application : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKJuBVKkrItDqrhKd-mDCjUFjJXkwxqzAH-Y9MII4kIX4XQA/viewform?usp=sf_link
