Capital Area Animal Welfare Society (caaws)

About

The Capital Area Animal Welfare Society (CAAWS) is the first and oldest non-profit in the Greater Baton Rouge Area committed to the well-being of animals in the community since 1979. Our purpose is primarily operating as an educational resource for the community on responsible pet ownership, the humane treatment of animals, and the beneficial practice of spaying and neutering.

Adoption process

We do everything to ensure that every animal in our shelter finds a secure and proper home. Browse through our pet profiles to meet our adoptable pets. If you’re interested in one of our adorable dogs or cats, then send us a message or fill out an application. The CAAWS adoption committee must approve every applicant and has the right to refuse any adoption. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet from our shelter.
