How CAAWS Got Started
St. Tammany Humane Society To the present time, Holly Reynolds continues to guide and inspire our work. What CAAWS does- Finds loving homes for the animals we bring into our adoption program. How CAAWS does itWe receive no government funding and are supported by private donations and our own fund raising efforts. CAAWS is run solely by unpaid volunteers and 100% of the funds received goes toward helping animals. Our major fundraising events include the annual Mardi Gras Krewe of Mutts dog parade and the Christmas Santa CAAWS professional pet photo event. CAAWS has approximately 100 volunteers that work in various areas that it takes to run CAAWS on a daily basis. Our volunteers can be found everyday caring for animals in their home, photographing and videoing animals for adoption, performing shelter maintenance and cleaning, purchasing and stocking supplies, doing clerical work, returning phone calls and emails, making public appearances with adoptable pets, visiting nursing home patients with their pets, performing educational presentations to children, fund-raising, assisting with ongoing Katrina New Orleans feeding stations, assisting and educating the community in spay/neuter efforts, and working on special events just to name a few.
