Who
CAAWS Is
The
Capital Area Animal
Welfare Society (CAAWS)
is a private, nonprofit
organization devoted
to the prevention of
animal suffering and
animal overpopulation.
Our primary function
is to place animals
into permanent, responsible,
loving homes and to
pursue educational programs
and circulate information
to the general public
in an effort to reduce
the pet overpopulation
problem.
What
CAAWS Does
- Finds
loving homes for
the animals we bring
into our adoption
program
- Places
adoptable pets in
foster
homes until
a permanent home
can be found
- Promotes
the spay/neuter
of pets through
our own program
and by offering
discount certificates
for spay/neuter
procedures
- Brings
animals to retirement/nursing
homes for visits
- Educates
students about
responsible pet
ownership
How
CAAWS Does It
We
receive no outside government
funding and are supported
by private donations
and our own fundraising
efforts. CAAWS is run
solely by unpaid volunteers
and 100% of the monies
received goes toward
helping animals. Our
major fundraising events
include the annual spring
Krewe
of Mutts dog parade
and the winter Santa
Paws photo event.
How
You Can Help
It
takes two things to
keep CAAWS going, money
and volunteers, and
we can always use more
of both. If you'd like
to volunteer we have
several ways you can
help so you're sure
to find something that's
right for you. If you
would like to support
CAAWS with a financial
donation we have several
options available including
becoming a member of
CAAWS.
