SOS Pets of Ouachita

SOS Pets of Ouachita We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that spearheaded the effort to build a new Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter. Pls see that page to sign up!

We're now focusing our efforts to assist with NELA spay & neuter surgeries, through our "Spay Or Snip" program. SOS Pets of Ouachita seeks to raise tax-deductible private donations to construct a new shelter, to replace the existing 1950’s Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter facility. This facility remains in use today and has evolved into an open-admittance facility with an annual intake of ~6,000 ani

mals per year, serving multiple regional parishes, with minimal surrender fees per type of animal. In early 2017 after reports of newborn puppies freezing to death in the shelter, a group of private citizens formed the nonprofit organization, SOS (Save Our Shelter) Pets of Ouachita, with its primary goal of privately funding a new public shelter, to replace the existing facility. From an initial deposit of $1.00, today's cash, in-kind donations and pledged funds have grown to over $1M, with a median private contribution of $20. Due to overwhelming community support to build an all-new animal shelter at a new location instead of piecemealing at the existing undesirable location, the SOS Pets Board of Directors sought and secured 5 acres of donated land to build the new facility. Please help if you can! 100% of the proceeds go to the Shelter Fund. This is a labor of love, and all our time is donated to this cause.
