Some Background

This week our blog could be about whatever we wanted it to be about, so I decided to give you a little background on one of my three animal shelters: The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They are a branch of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and are a private non-profit organization. They are dedicated solely to stopping the suffering to animals. Erected in 1888, they are the oldest animal welfare organization in the state. They provide the basic needs and services to thousands of animals a year. They are great at helping animals find homes and even refer to it as “matchmaking.”
They educate youth to learn the value of life and to respect all living animals, as well as the community about the importance of spaying and neutering. They investigate animal cruelty cases, making sure legal action is taken. They are looking for a change.
They are in the process of trying to get improved local/state animal protection laws, they are promoting animal welfare initiatives, and they are providing training for dogs and even offer discounts for animals that are spayed neutered or adopted from The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or Jefferson Parish Animal Control.
When they start a case against someone for animal cruelty, they care for the animal themselves. They are trying to stop blood sports in the state and are partnering with the law enforcement on all dog fighting cases.
The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals also mentors other humane societies as well as train animal control agencies on handling cruelty cases and training law enforcement to identify cruelty against animals for the blood sports.
The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is truly a saint to all animals in Louisiana. They even offer human/animal bonding.
