Rescue Organizations 190 Burgin Ave Baton Rouge, LA 70808 Healing Paws is a group of individuals who firmly support and believe in furthering the human-animal bond. We believe that all animals have the basic right to proper veterinary care, safety, and above all, quality of life. We also strongly believe that all animals not used for breeding should be spayed or neutered to reduce the large number of animals that overpopulate shelters, leading to huge numbers of animals euthanized every year.
Healing Paws believes that pets are an integral part of the world and how we view it. A significant link has been made between a person's bond with an animal and their success in life. It is a studied and proven fact that the presence of animals in hospitals reduces stress, heart rate and improves the overall time for healing. Prison dog programs across the country are experiencing a 0% recidivism rate! People who own pets live an average of 5 years longer than those who do not own pets. Healing Paws feels it is our mission to encourage this human-animal bond by offering animal assistance programs to the community such as, but not limited to, reading programs for children, animal visitation to those residing in various care facilities, and educational programs to the community.
We also strongly believe in working with other rescue organizations. We all have a common goal which is to save the lives of animals!
