What We Do
CAWS is a group of volunteers. We are not a government organization, animal shelter or animal control agency. We call on the community to partner with us and to assist us as you can when you see a need. Only together can we improve the care and treatment of dogs and cats in our community and reduce the overpopulation of unwanted animals by responsible ownership.
Our charge is to:
Educate the public on the importance of spaying & neutering, provide information on where and how to get your dog spayed or neutered and to organize occasional low-cost spay and neuter clinics.
Provide basic health maintenance to homeless dogs and cats in our ongoing “Stray Care” program; with the goal of getting them healthy, off the streets and into a home.
Inform the public about dogs in need and provide information on how to get those dogs help.
We are a connection to find a pet, provide info about animals in need of homes, send out alerts for lost pets, and we can refer you to your local registered Veterinarian.
We cannot:
Take in animals because we are not a shelter.
Assist with requests to assist with medical treatments for found, injured, and privately-owned dogs. If you see or have an animal in need of medical treatment, please call your local Veterinarian for immediate assistance. We are unable to assist with animal emergencies.
