Lives Changed Because of You
Every rescue is a story of transformation — from fear to safety, from neglect to love.
Because of you, thousands of animals across Northwest Louisiana have found their way to safety and home.

Faces of Hope
Gumdrop’s Story
Found abandoned behind a grocery store, Gumdrop was just a few pounds and fighting for her life. After weeks of care, two hospitalizations, and a foster who refused to give up, she finally recovered — and today she’s living her best life in her forever home.
Leo’s Story
Leo was found unable to stand, weighing only 36 pounds, with infected joints and severe heartworm. Against all odds, he survived — now a strong, healthy 62-pound dog with a smile that melts hearts.
Brendy’s Story
A feral momma found hiding in a barn, terrified and heartworm positive. Months of gentle foster care transformed her into a playful, trusting companion ready for adoption.
The Ripple Effect
Every life saved creates a ripple — a foster inspired, a donor moved, a community changed. These stories remind us that even small acts of kindness can have far-reaching impact. Read more of our stories of impact here.
