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.

We are in need of new hard toys for our pups! 🦴🧸

Our toys get a lot of love from our dogs at CAAWS! They chew them faster than we can replace them. Dogs at the shelter spend a lot of time cooped up and chewing is a stress release for them. Please consider donating durable chew toys to CAAWS, our Amazon registry is linked on our website, www.caaws.org, and also can be found through our Instagram highlight titled “Donate”.

Preferred brands are Nylabone, Benebone, and Kong. We are in need of all sizes of durable toys, but large is priority. Thank you to everyone who donates to CAAWS!

If you are unable to donate through Amazon, you can always drop donations off at our door - 6357 Quinn Dr.! Please leave them inside the enclosed porch.

We had ZERO attendees at our cat adoption event on Saturday 🥲 We have so many sweet kitties that are waiting patiently to find forever homes… we’re not sure why we haven’t received applications on anybody recently!

Visit www.caaws.org to view all of our adoptable cats and apply to adopt one of our perfect angels 😇 You can expect a response to your application from an adoption counselor via email within 48 hours of submission. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder! 💌
