Our sweet Dorito just had surgery to fix a cracked femoral head. ❤️🩹 He’s only 1.5 years old and just came to us about a month ago. The surgery cost around $1,000, so we’re hoping our supporters can help us cover this. 🙏🏻 Click here to donate:

Come see us TODAY from noon - 4! The long-term shelter residents that we’ve been highlighting all week can’t wait to meet you! 🐾☀️ 📍6357 Quinn Drive Baton Rouge, LA 70817
It’s our fifth and final day of our Dog Days of Summer campaign to spotlight our long-term shelter residents! ☀️ 🐾Come visit us in person and meet our pups TOMORROW from noon - 4pm at 6357 Quinn Dr. Baton Rouge, LA 70817. 🗓️Let’s hear from Gwen (aka Spider-Gwen), who can’t wait to meet you tomorrow:
“👋Hey there! I'm Gwen, also affectionately known by our volunteers as Spider-Gwen—Your Future Zoomie Expert and Cuddle Buddy! I’m a vibrant, almost 2-years-old Pitbull mix, weighing in at a perfect 45 pounds. I've been bringing my unique brand of charm to the shelter for the more than 418 days, and I'm on a mission to find my forever home.
Let me tell you a little about myself—I'm a perfect mix of high energy and cuddle bug. Picture this: I zoom around the yard with lightning speed, showcasing my impressive zoomie skills. It's like I have a turbo button! But, here's the catch—I'm just as quick to switch gears and snuggle up with you. Yup, I'm the ultimate balance of action and affection.
🕸️Now, the nickname Spider-Gwen isn't just for show. I'm here to spin a web of love and joy in your life. Whether it's the excitement of playtime or the warmth of cuddle sessions, I'm ready to be your superhero companion.🦸♀️
Are you looking for a four-legged friend who can bring energy and coziness into your world? Well, look no further! Swing by the shelter, let's meet, and see if we can be the perfect match. I promise, with Spider-Gwen by your side, every day will be filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few super zoomies! Ready to make me your forever hero?❤️🦸♀️🕸️”
Let's give these loyal, loving dogs the chance they too deserve to experience the warmth and joy of a permanent family. If you’d like to meet these pups in person, our shelter is open to the public on Saturdays from noon - 4pm. We are located at 6357 Quinn Dr. Baton Rouge, LA 70817. Check out Gwen, and all of our adoptable dogs at caaws.org. If you are interested in applying to foster or adopt Gwen, please apply on our website, and a member of our adoption committee will be in touch. ❤️🐶
