🐶 Vet Tech Week 🐱

While every department plays a vital role in our day-to-day operations, this week is dedicated to celebrating the incredible Veterinary Technicians who make such a difference in the lives of our patients! ❤️

And last, but certainly not least, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on LP!

A Louisiana girl, born and raised in Shreveport, LP has called New Orleans home since she was 16. Her lifelong desire to work with animals comes from a deep love and respect for them, and her role at SAF allows her to turn that passion into compassionate care for every patient she encounters.

One of LP’s favorite parts of her job is being there throughout an animal’s journey to recovery. Watching a sick or injured patient regain their strength and health is one of the most rewarding aspects of what she does.

At home, LP shares her life with two beloved cats, Gracyn and Calypso. When she’s not caring for our patients at SAF, she enjoys spending time outdoors camping, kayaking, and hiking.

LP has been a valued member of our SAF family for over five years, and we’re grateful for the dedication, compassion, and love she brings to our patients every day. 🐾

Join us in celebrating LP and thanking her for all she does! 💙

🐶 Vet Tech Week 🐱

While every department plays an essential role in our day-to-day operations, this week is all about celebrating our incredible veterinary technicians! 🩺🐾

Next up, we’re highlighting Raynelle, better known as Nellie!

As SAF’s longest-tenured veterinary technician, Nellie is truly part of our family. A New Orleans native, she grew up in River Ridge and now calls Old Jefferson home. She has been a dedicated member of the SAF team for over 21 years! ❤️

Nellie’s love for animals is matched only by her healthy skepticism of humanity! 😂 Her favorite part of the job is seeing her patients recover and get back on their feet after coming to us sick. Knowing she has played a part in helping them heal is what makes her work so rewarding.

When she’s not caring for our patients at SAF, Nellie stays busy with her own little zoo at home! Her animal family includes two dogs, Jax and Brie; three cats, Frankie, Pixie, and Oliver; and two leopard geckos. 🐶🐱🦎

Outside of work, Nellie enjoys cooking, refurbishing vintage and antique lamps, fishing with her son, and tending to the many plants she keeps around her home. 🌿🎣

Thank you, Nellie, for over 21 years of dedication, compassion, and hard work. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the SAF family, and our patients are lucky to have you in their corner! 💚🐾

🐶 Vet Tech Week 🐱

While every department plays an essential role in our day-to-day operations, this week we’re shining the spotlight on our incredible Veterinary Technicians!

First, we’d like to introduce El, who has been an invaluable part of our team for more than four years. Originally from Massachusetts, El brings positivity, enthusiasm, and compassion to everything she does.

Their lifelong love for animals, combined with a passion for advocating for and caring for animals in need, led them to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. One of the most rewarding aspects of their work is helping strengthen the human-animal bond and supporting patients on their journey back to healthy, happy lives.

At home, El is the proud pet parent of their kitty, Gracyn. 🐱

When they’re not at SAF, you can find El playing guitar, exploring the wonderful city of New Orleans, or expressing their creativity through painting. 🎸🎨

We’re incredibly grateful to have El as part of our team and are excited to celebrate them and all of our amazing Vet Techs this week! 💙🐾

💙JOSHUA AND DEAN HAVE BEEN ADOPTED
WE’RE SO HAPPY FOR THEM TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER💙

We are DESPERATELY seeking a foster, or even better, a permanent home, for these two sweet, precious bonded boys! Through no fault of their own, the original foster home had to bring them back because his dog did not like them and he wasn’t home enough with his work schedule. He said they were beautifully behaved, got along with every dog they met, and have pretty much mastered potty training. These babies were abandoned by someone several weeks ago so we took them into our program, and we don’t understand how we haven’t had one application on them!! They are just precious and are small, and absolutely adore one another. They love children too. Dean is the smaller little guy at only 14 pounds, and Joshua is 17 pounds. Both are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. They also both come with a year’s supply each of heartworm preventative. Please give them a chance so they can stop living in a kennel. For more information called 504-671-8235, and as always applications are on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org

Sweet Saint is still with us and we don’t understand why because he is absolutely beautiful and has developed into a such a nice dog! He’s even had some training.He gets along with other dogs and loves to play with everybody. He would fit well into an active household because he loves to run and go on long walks. We’ve had him for about 6 months now, everything has been done to him medically. He’s neutered, had all of his vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. He really would benefit from even a foster home, because living in a kennel is not ideal for him. Saint is also completely potty trained. He’s a little over a year old, and would love to be a part of your family forever. He also comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative! For more information on this beauty, call us at 504-671-8235, or head over to our website and fill out an application at southernanimalfoundation.org

This precious angel is missing in Beau Chene in Mandeville!! Her mother was in the hospital having surgery, and her brother was watching her in Penn’s Chapel and she got away, and is now running loose in our neighborhood. She apparently was in someone’s garage and they took a picture of her but didn’t secure her, so if anyone sees her, please call Rebecca or Max immediately. If you know anyone who lives in this neighborhood, please have them be on the lookout. If you can get her confined, that would be great, but she is really scared. Her mother is beyond hysterical that her baby is loose.
