We love our #CAAWS dog. I have read some reviews here that are negative. I will share my…read moreexperience. We have had our dog for about 5 years now. This dog , who CAAWS actually rescued from a kill shelter, was a shy, slightly reticent dog. Sabra ,who is a school teacher and a volunteer at CAAWS, helped me to choose " Austin" ( their name). During this same time, I was tending to my Mom( she has since passed on ) and was helping my family in Virginia. Keep in mind , CAAWS does have a screening process, and for a very good reason. These animals, at least many, have not had " happy" lives, and some are recovering from abuse or neglect . They want to make sure that you will be a loving and responsible pet owner. I am fortunate that our son helps to take care of our dog if and when we must leave town. Owning a pet is a responsibility, and a healthy dog needs more than food , water and trips to the vet ... they need love , tenderness, regular exercise and to insure that CAAWS dogs are matched to a suitable owner, yes, they are very careful with whom they place these deserving pets. Make room in your home and heart for a life time of unconditional love. I know that there are many people who love dogs as much as I do. Our dog did require some dental work , and because of this, we now are very careful about how we care for his remaining teeth . We have friends who have become volunteers there, and I know that the adoption process may seem " detailed"... but CAAWS loves to see their pets find a fur ever home. I highly recommend going to meet these deserving pets. Adoptions can be arranged to suit your schedule. In our case, we met our dog, filled out the necessary paperwork and had a two week trip. When we came home, we were able to adopt our dog... he is a very lovable canine, and having him in our life also enriched us in many ways. He was with us when we had to be rescued from the August 2016 flood... and has been a joy through the many storms since then. When we needed to move into an apartment in 2016, he was also a joy, and his personality is friendly and thankfully, he isn't into barking unnecessarily. I highly recommend CAAWS, their caring volunteers, their fees are kept low... and all of their animals ( dogs, cats) love being adopted. Sabra, and other volunteers, do a great job. We love " Chase", who used to be " Austin"... thank you to all #CAAWSvolunteers #CAAWS has a Facebook page... thank you!

They should not be allowed to have a state license nor practice in Veterinary care. Sadly to say, Dr. Ganucheau stated that she and Senator Bill Wheat, who owns the facilities, both reside on the Veterinary Board. Unfortunately, Senator Bill wheat is proposing SB 21, a bill that would include veterinarians, veterinary staff, and veterinary practices to an existing state law which prohibits the battery of certain health care workers, and criminalizes unlawful disruptions at certain medical facilities, when in actuality, our fur babies etc. are being abused at his facilities. I have been bringing my fur baby, Snuggles, who is now 1 year and 4 months old, to see Dr. Ganucheau since he was a small puppy. I will never do that again, because after each visit I noticed that he was in distress. Today, April 21, 2025 is what made me decide to never return to the Hammond nor Ponchatoula Animal Center ever again. Snuggles had a full service grooming appointment with Morgan, the groomer at the Hammond Animal Care Center. His appointment was for 8 AM. I was advised to drop him off alittle earlier before his appointment. Once we arrived, Kayla checked Snuggles in, and Morgan brought him to the back. I was very apprehensive, and I should have followed my first instinct to cancel the grooming appointment. Snuggles grooming appointment was for 8 AM, and he was suppose to be released at 12 PM. No one called me to keep me updated on his status between that time frame, so I became worried and called to check on him. When I called a secretary answered the phone, and stated that she was going to find out the status and let me know as soon as possible. The secretary put me on hold, and then another secretary answered and stated the same thing. Finally, after being on hold for a while, one of the assistants answered the phone gave me an update on his status, and than stated that he would not be released until 3 or 4 PM, which was alarming to me, because he is a rather small puppy, whose grooming should have been completed much earlier. In addition, he had not eaten lunch nor drinked any water. Finally, around 1:13PM, I received a call from Morgan, the groomer, stating that Snuggles' grooming was half done, and could not be completed today, because she stated, " He tried to bite me, and rolled around like an alligator." Then she asked me who his veterinarian was (which she should have known based on the files in the computer sytem. His veterinarian was Dr. Ganucheaux.), because she wanted to sedate him. The groomer stated she was not going to complete the session, that I needed to schedule another appointment for her to complete Snuggles' grooming, and that it was time for me to pick him up. Since she did not complete the grooming, we negotiated a lower price from $60 to $40. I advised her that I needed to consult with my mother about the price, since she was the one paying for it. My mother and I went to pickup Snuggles from the Hammond Animal Care Center, and there were five employees standing in the front of the office staring at us. Dr. Ganucheaux was sitting at the front desk when we walked in. They were gossiping about my puppy, and when my mom inquired about Snuggles, Dr. Ganucheaux, who was suppose to be at the Ponchatoula Animal Care Center, stated that she wanted to prescribe my fur baby Trazadone, to keep him sedated. My mother and I were both against that decision, and asked to speak with Morgan, the groomer several times, but the staff lied and said that she was unable to speak with us about the matter, and when we asked to see Snuggles, it took a while for the staff to bring him to us. When the staff members brought Snuggles, my 1 year 4 month old puppy, from the back we were flabbergasted, because he was unrecognizable in the worst way possible!!! There are severe gashes on his body, he appeared to be battered and bruised, his genitals were and still are swolen (as if he had been neutered without my consent), he is distressed, and he is lethargic. Highly concerned about the condition, and well-being of my puppy, my mother and I continued to ask for Morgan, to explain the ill appearance of my puppy, to which Dr. Ganucheaux, and staff lied again stating that Morgan was unavailable. The staff made us pay the $40, even though my puppy was in the worst condition that I had ever seen. My mother asked the staff to write and initial on the receipt the reason why the grooming service was not completed, and they refused to do so. Furthermore, Dr. Ganucheaux, denied and refused Snuggles of any future care at the Hammond and the Ponchatoula Animal Care Centers without rectifying the matter.
