My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Darcy!!

Darcy is a rat terrier mix, approximately 4yrs 8months(April2024), spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, approximately 22lbs(April1) & crate trained/house trained. She is HW positive but has finished her round of doxy & is continuing slow kill treatment with her monthly prevention. Darcy knows sit, down, roll over, kennel,outside, inside, come & lets go for walk. Her foster is working on her other commands & better leash manners. She absolutely loves snuggling with her foster siblings/foster mom, watching tv, playing (by herself or with other dogs/people). Darcy is eager to please & learn. Darcy is good with most dogs. She is a perfect mix of active & laid back. Please consider opening your heart & home to Darcy.

More about this rescue

What is APAWS?
A.P.A.W.S (Animal Protection and Welfare Society) is a volunteer, foster-based, no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based out of Baton Rouge, LA.

What does this mean? APAWS has no paid board members or staff. We do not have a brick and mortar location. We are supported by generous and loving volunteers who agree to shelter and care for the animals as a temporary placement until the animals find their forever homes.

Our Misson
Since 2004, APAWS has been dedicated to ensuring that all pet animals in and around the Baton Rouge area live in homes that provide for all of the animal’s physical and emotional needs (including love, compassion, daily care and medical care) for the animal’s lifetime. We do understand that things may not always go as planned. APAWS will always provide a safety net for the pets that we adopt out- should something ever happen and they need our assistance again. All animals in our care will be spayed / neutered and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations before adoptions are finalized.

Our Vison
Our main goal has always been to break the stigma around rescue animals and reduce the number of animals that are euthanized in local shelters by proving that you can rescue wonderful dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through our work with both animals and humans, APAWS strives to make Southeast Louisiana a more inclusive environment where everyone can experience the transformative benefits of responsible, humane pet ownership.
