He is a FAWS foundling.
Max is living in a nice
foster home where he
waits patiently for a
forever family to find him.
This little guy 
on the other hand,
was born and bred
in a puppy mill.
These operations
raise purebred or
“designer dogs”
for profit, not for the well-being of the animals.
Puppy mills often use neglectful or unhealthy
practices to make money. Responsible breeders
though, are careful about the welfare of their adults
and puppies and raise them in humane conditions,
not in cramped cages or inadequate medical care.

COMPANION ANIMAL RESCUE & ADOPTION
FOSTER ONE ANIMAL TODAY
FAWS funds and equips the Foster Family’s needs,
including providing 10’x10’ chain link kennels, dog
houses, collapsible crates, carriers, food, litter, routine
vaccinations and all veterinary care.
The FAWS Foster Families need only provide the love
and security for animals awaiting adoption. Foster
one animal today and help us to save the lives of
hundreds.

Thanks to Patrice, Harolyn, Michaela, Darryl,
Julie, and Brittany for all their hard work in April.
They trapped, tended, loaded, and hauled
18 stray and feral cats for the LSU Spay Day Event.
The team, with the help of local citizens, caught
11 female cats and 7 males. One female was already
spayed but did receive all of the other treatments.
Six of the females were pregnant--it is that time of
year. Three females were treated for mastitis.
One feral tom had so many fighting wounds that
they shaved him and treated his wounds. Another
feral tom had to be euthanized because he had
cancer in numerous locations in his body.
All of the cats received their routine vaccines and a
rabies vaccination. All received flea treatments and
a long-acting antibiotic injection. All of the ears were
tipped and a tattoo was placed on their abdomens
so that veterinarians would not put them through the
process in the future. All received excellent vet care,
and thankfully at a much reduced price this time—
end of fiscal year. With the contributions of the
families and the business we helped, FAWS only had
to pay $40 total for this spay day—YIPEE!

“I had a wonderful experience last year when
a stray dog, just a DAWG, not cute or cuddly,
just a sweet dog who’d been abused,
came into our yard. He had a collar,
but no ID. Our 6 cats were terrified of him,
but he was even more terrified of them.
He was peaceable, and we kept him.
Through FAWS’s linkages online, aided by Gail’s
fabulous picture of him, which appeared in the
newsletter last summer, he found a
Forever Home with a young college teacher in
the Crescent City. He has his own membership
in the City Park Dog Park, and a comfortable
home with a cat. We loved him. We just
couldn’t keep him. Whatever the source of
these straying dogs is, their lives would be
much better if they found their way to FAWS.
like the Salvation Army for dogs.”

“Just wanted to say thank you for
all of your hard work with FAWS
and that Lucy (previously Majic,
adopted 2/14) is loving life over
here in Austin, TX.
We couldn't thank you enough
for everything you do to find
these dogs homes - I know Lucy
and I definitely appreciate it!”

‘Tis tick season
Most veterinarians use plain old
finger power to grab the tick and
gently pull it out horizontally, not UP.
Do not squish the head, which may
spread Lyme or other diseases.
Squeamish people can use tissue
paper or tweezers.
