Animal Protection and Welfare Society - APAWS

We are sorry to announce this, but APAWS is closing 12/31/26. We will continue to try and adopt out the animals in our care and will not give up on them, but we can no longer continue to operate. We hope this isn’t forever, but it is the reality right now.

Meet Bailey!
Urgent Foster Home Needed

Bailey is a approximately 9years 1months old (Nov) & a Terrier Mix. She is approximately 25lbs. Bailey is HW negative, current on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. She is house and kennel trained. Bailey is an absolutely sweetheart and has never met a stranger. She loves her people and never wants to be away from them- if you’re home, bailey is attached to you. She is dog selective and can live with another dog but she would definitely prefer to be an only dog. She loves cats and has no issues with cats. Bailey has a Grade 4 heart murmur that will need to be monitored for the rest of her life. This does not affect her quality of life. Bailey is terrified of bad weather and has to be medicated (with meds from the vet) when the weather is bad. She is a runner and will take off without looking back if given the opportunity. She REQUIRES a fully secure, fenced in yard. Bailey does require regular grooming as well. Please consider opening your heart and home to Bailey.

Six months ago, Chance came to us from our friends at Mardi Paws after being found shot seven times and losing one of his legs because of that. He was such a scared boy who didn’t know what it was like to just be a dog and not have to worry about the world around him. But even after everything he had been through, he still wanted love. He still wanted to trust people, even when he had every reason not to. That’s the thing about dogs. They have a way of loving us even after people have let them down. Chance has come a long way in the last six months and we’re so happy he finally has a home of his own. He deserved this “chance” at a good life from the very beginning and we can’t wait to see him continue to come out of his shell and learn just how good life can be.

Happy life, sweet Chance! ❤️❤️
