This is Tillie. She is a Lab mix who was dumped here two years ago. She was adopted last year but was returned. Just wasn’t the right home for her although her adopter had spoiled her and bought her a toy chicken . She let her keep it when she came back. Tillie carried that chicken around everyday until it finally wore out. One day recently a kind gentleman brought us a bag of old dog toy and guess what was in it. Yep, a chicken for Tillie. She was so happy.check out her video.

Sorry my post didn’t post. Rowdy is a Pit Bull who was dumped on Prison Rd about a year ago. When he first got here he was Rowdy with no boundaries . After much training he is a perfect gentleman. Today we went exploring and for a walk. Afterwards he was treated to a clean bed and ice cubes which he loves. Come by and say hello. He loves people. Check out his video enjoying his ice cubes.

Last Thursday I took Winston to Krotz Springs to meet Rescue Riders transport heading for New Jersey. He arrived Friday night at 8:30 where he was greeted by a very happy foster mom. He had his first introduction to home life and TV. Here he is checking out the weather in Louisiana! He loves his foster family.

🐾 THANK YOU! 🐾

We want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who came out to help during our Clean-Up Day yesterday! 💪✨ Because of your time, hard work, and big hearts, our shelter is now cleaner, more organized, and on track to run more smoothly and efficiently.

From scrubbing and sorting to lifting and hauling, every effort made a difference—and our animals definitely noticed the extra love too! 🐶🐱

We’re so grateful for our amazing community. Thank you for showing up and helping us create a better space for the animals in our care. ❤️

Stay tuned—we’ve got more exciting updates and volunteer opportunities coming soon!

Our friends at ARR speak nothing but truth. Please, spay and neuter your pets. When you consider becoming a pet owner, think of it as taking on the physical, mental, and financial responsibility of being a parent to a human child.
