Founded in 1979, the Capital Area Animal Welfare Society (CAAWS) is the first NO-KILL non-profit animal organization/shelter committed to the well-being of animals in the Baton Rouge community. Our volunteers can be found caring for animals in their home, photographing and videoing animals for adoption, performing shelter maintenance and cleaning, purchasing and stocking supplies, returning phone

calls and emails, making public appearances with adoptable pets, visiting nursing home patients with their pets, performing educational presentations to children, fundraising, assisting and educating the community in spay/neuter efforts, and working on special events just to name a few.

Dog adoptions TODAY from 12-4! The Bama game doesn’t start until 6, so there’s plenty of time to stop by CAAWS and meet your forever best friend! 🏈🐅

This is Sugar, a 2 year old Feist mix. She’s such a sweetheart! Sugar would make the perfect game watching buddy, she loves to snuggle and is always going to root for the same teams that you do! 🐾

🚨 We have a full shelter right now and have not seen many adoptions in the last few weeks. 🥲 We’re really hoping to pick those numbers up before the holidays so that our pups can spend the holiday season with their forever families! Stop by CAAWS today!
