Every day, LaMa faces the heartbreaking reality of abandoned, neglected, and forgotten animals across Northwest Louisiana. With no state funding and more calls than resources, every rescue is a race against time — to make space, raise funds, and save one more life.

Behind every rescue is a story of transformation — dogs once scared and sick now thriving in loving homes. Since 2019, LaMa has saved over 2,000 animals through community compassion, medical care, and a network that never gives up.

From the moment we get the call to the moment an animal finds a home, LaMa’s work is rescue in motion.
Our shelter, fosters, and transport network move animals from crisis to comfort — and from survival to safety.

Since 2019, LaMa has saved more than 2,000 lives through rescue, care, and partnership.

We’re breaking the cycle by addressing the why behind the crisis: limited access to vet care, lack of affordable spay/neuter, and a need for compassionate education.

LaMa hosts vaccination and food assistance programs, teaches responsible pet care in local schools, and is actively seeking grants to build an on-site low-cost clinic — one that will serve both animals and families in our community.

Because real change starts before the rescue van leaves the driveway.

Rescue only works when people come together. From local fosters and small businesses to northern rescue partners, every hand that helps LaMa makes compassion contagious.

Together, we’re building a bridge between Louisiana and the Northeast — and a stronger foundation for animals everywhere.
