Overview

The CAWS was founded in May of 2014 because we recognized an increasing trend in the number of animals that were being re-homed because their owners were going through short term life transitions, and they had no one to temporarily care for their pets.

These life transitions included fleeing domestic violence, hospitalization, members of our military being deployed, and those seeking treatment for addictions.

We also noticed that animal shelters and rescue organizations were at maximum capacity due the number of found stray animals, as well as owner surrendered animals.

We have built up a network of loving foster homes to care for each animal as a part of their family until the animals can either be reunited with their owners, or they are adopted into their forever home.

All of the animals that come into our care require veterinary care. We are dedicated to helping to control the issue of pet over population by ensuring that every animal in our care is spay/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and provide all veterinary care they require including dental requirements, before they leave our care.
