One week from today we start to make changes. There are many different ways to assist us and Natchitoches Hope for Paws as we join to become Friends All United for Natchitoches Animals, FAUNA, but we need your help. Details on this event: https://fb.me/e/1Stkb5C3V
Seeking donations to purchase some pricey but heavy duty fans for $80 for each of our 10 dog runs!

This was recorded last Saturday as a behind the scenes tour of the NHS Happy Tails Facility so our friends here can see exactly how over-full we are. This was before the sick room and quarantine kennels got half of their roof pulled off in Thursday's storm, see our previous post for photos and info on that new obstacle.
More info on these dogs and more adoptables on the pinned album at the top of the Natchitoches Humane Society page or on our website https://natchitocheshumanesociety.rescuegroups.org/animals/browse
14 dogs in our small Happy Tails facility maintained by one inmate at the Detention Center is too many and allows no flexibility in helping others. We have even more in our WONDERFUL, AMAZING foster homes but they are often older or headed up north on transport. We cannot keep up with all the calls that come in to our volunteer-only organization that are from out in the parish where helpless animals are left to fend for themselves.
We are working to change this but need your help in advocating for, donating to, and fostering these pets, as well as spaying and neutering your own pets. Please message us if you can help in any way and let us know if you need assistance with fixing yours.
Happy national rescue dog day, please comment with your photos of your favorite rescue dogs! And stay tuned for our event Saturday 28th from 10am to 1pm at Storybrew Cafe where you can visit Sam and some other adorable adoptable rescue dogs and cats!
Thank you for a wonderful Give For Good! $1,573 raised plus $1,000 matched by a kind supporter! Natchitoches Humane Society alumni Rexx, Nino, and Gracie thank you for helping their friends that are still in need, every bit goes straight to the MANY animals in our care!
OPERATION HEALTHY PAWS HEALTH FAIR
Reggie gets along with other dogs, this big guy is a gentleman around even the smallest female dogs!
Reggie even got to see a giraffe!
Reggie closed out the afternoon with a donut as a reward. He had such a big day, and goes in for his heartworm treatment on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Phew, what a day! All the dogs are nice and warm for the weekend and we cleared out animal control shelter this week thanks to our fosters and volunteers old and new! 7 dogs are at James vet and 4 are at Good Hope, you can call either of them directly to pay towards our bill, or donate to us and we will sort out the rest! Anything extra will go to their vet care!
Original post: Can you help with this winter weather this weekend? The dogs at our Happy Tails shelter are not fans of the cold spell coming up especially since their kennels are not heated and wondering if you can take one for the weekend to keep them as nice and warm as Happy Tails alum Lexus is in this video!!
It also helps get them adopted and update their bios when they get a shot at being in a home even for a weekend! Please consider and send a us message if you are able to take one!
We are also looking at boarding them if we cannot get 10 temp fosters so each may need a sponsor for the weekend, about $60 each which can be paid directly to the vet that they stay at!
