🚨UPDATE!! Claudia was found safe!!🚨

🚨🚨Urgent help needed! 🚨🚨
One of our dear clients was struck by a car yesterday while walking her dog, Claudia, at Broad and Esplanade. In the mayhem that followed, her dog escaped with the leash still intact, and is now missing.
This is an urgent call to help find her dog. Our client is still recovering in the hospital and is devastated that her beloved Claudia is out there somewhere. Let’s help find her!
Thank you in advance for any help.

This week alone, we rescued these three precious babies! The calico was found this morning on the Crescent City Connection bridge by an employee of ours on her way to work. This isn’t the first time she’s rescued one off the bridge, but we always pray it’s the last. Kitten season in New Orleans never seems to end, but we’re always happy to help all the babies in need.

We would like to introduce Jack Skellington, Marshmallow and CC❤️❤️ They’re all incredibly sweet, despite their rough start in life. Little CC is so calm, despite the traffic flying past her this morning on the bridge. She suffered a little bruise on her lip, but it’s no worse for the wear.

All three babies will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, combo tested and have age-appropriate vaccinations.

Jack Skellington is about 8 weeks old. Marshmallow is about 5 months old, and CC is about six weeks old❤️❤️❤️

For more information on these precious angels, please call us at 504-671-8235.

Applications can be found on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org

If you’re not ready to commit to adopt or foster, you can also donate toward their care on our website through our PayPal link❤️

Their adoption comes with 10% off veterinary services, a starter pack of kitten food, and three months of flea preventative.

We’re so incredibly thankful for all of our clients and supporters🦃🥰

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️SAFE AT LAST❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to the first day of your new lives, Candy and PollyAnna. We’re thrilled to have saved both of you, sweet girls. These precious souls arrived late yesterday from the hell hole that is the Ville Platte pound. Thanks to the amazing volunteer, Melissa Gibson, for her unwavering dedication to the poor dogs in that awful place that would never have a chance at life without her love and compassion for them.

Now it’s up to all of you to help them. These girls are the sweetest little angels you could ever meet. Both are so grateful to be alive,and it shows in their eyes. They are so calm and gentle, leaning in to our staff for hugs and kisses, as they get checked from head to tail today. Candy and Polly are bonded, but we realize they may end up in separate homes. They were so terrified In Ville Platte, and all they had was one another to lean on for support. However, it would be wonderful if they could stay together, at least for now in a foster home while they transition to life in a safe space.

If you have room in your heart in your home for both of these girls to decompress for a little while, please let us know. Of course, if you have room to adopt both of them, that would be their fairytale dream come true. Both girls are spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. We were told Candy was heartworm positive, but we’re running all the necessary tests today. Polly is heartworm negative. As always, we absorb the cost of the heartworm treatment, so there is zero cost to the adopter. We also provide several months of flea and heartworm preventative as part of their adoption. Both girls are about a year old. Candy is 26 pounds and Polly is 16 pounds so they are full grown and not very big.

If you’re not in a position right now to foster or adopt, please share their story❤️❤️
For more information on these two sweet girls call our clinic at 504-671-8235.

With taking in these new dogs, and with the others currently in our care, we could really use some financial help. Without it, we can’t continue to pull animals from death row. We recently had to fund a very expensive eye surgery for a precious boy who found his forever family. All of your donations are tax deductible. We really appreciate it, and want to be able to continue the life saving work we do❤️ Of course, forever families are what we need as well for these precious souls.
You can donate on our website through our PayPal link.

These are the faces of despair, as they sit in a very rural kill pound. Both of them will be getting their freedom ride to SAF next Monday, but this is where we need your help! Foster and foster to adopt homes are desperately needed for both of these girls. The bigger one is Candy, and she is heartworm positive which we will treat of course, and the smaller one is PollyAnna and she is heartworm negative. Being heartworm positive in a rural pound with no funding, is a definite death sentence!! They are super attached to one another, so we’re happy to be pulling them out together. Candy is about 26 pounds and Polly is about 16 lbs. Both are about a year old. If you would like to help us by fostering or adopting, you can fill out an application on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org
We would love to see these girls go into a loving home as soon as possible and start their new lives. They’ll be waiting to meet you❤️

Handsome Tobee was found abandoned and running the streets of our city. He was being harassed and tormented by cruel people he encountered on the street. He was brought into us, and given his new lease on on life. Tobee is now neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative! He was lucky enough to find himself a foster home where he is thriving. Tobee loves other dogs, but would prefer a home without cats. He’s completely housebroken, crate trained and loves playing with all of his new toys. He’s a shepherd mix, about a year old and weighs 56 pounds. Tobee is a love bug and wants to meet you, and make a love connection. Applications are on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org.
You can also give us a call at 504-671-8235 for more information on this handsome boy🩵
