Mission Statement
Lake Area Partnerships for Animal Welfare (LAPAW) works to provide a SECOND CHANCE for homeless/orphaned, abused/neglected companion animals. 


Vision Statement
LAPAW works toward the day when 100% of adoptable animals in Calcasieu Parish are placed into loving homes; i.e., when Calcasieu Parish Animal Control becomes a no-kill facility.  This will be accomplished only through promotion of an aggressive spay/neuter and family-friendly fostering and adoption programs.

Goals
  1. To provide funding for medical care/treatment for homeless, orphaned, abused/neglected companion animals housed at Calcasieu Parish Animal Control facility in order to make them adoptable.
  2. To promote adoption as the first option for prospective pet owners and fostering as a means to enhance the adoptability of shelter animals.
  3. To promote an active spay/neuter program in order to stop companion pet overpopulation to the end that Calcasieu Parish is a no-kill region of the state of Louisiana .
  4. Until no-kill status is reached, to promote humane treatment for all CPAC impounded animals and, if necessary, humane euthanasia only by lethal injection administered by trained, compassionate personnel.
