💙💙💙LOUIE ADOPTION UPDATE💙💙💙

We are so happy for sweet Louie, and we had to share an update from his new forever family!! They absolutely adore him, and he has fit right into their family. This is just a little bit of what they have said about him. “He’s doing great. He’s very sweet, seems surprisingly relaxed, and more than accustomed to being the center of attention.
He’s doing remarkably well walking on his leash, and he’s let us know that tennis balls, tug of war, and chewing his bone are his favorites.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. He is the best boy” 💙💙

It’s updates like these, that make us realize how important the work is we do here! We’re so happy for you Louie, and keep living your best life💙💙

SWEET PENELOPE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!

Sweet little Penelope came into our rescue because someone found her and brought her to the LASPCA to be spayed and find a home! They kept releasing her back onto the street so the kind lady kept bringing her back in and finally decided to give us a call and we welcome Penelope into our rescue program. She is about as sweet as they come. At only 5 months old, Penelope has never known what it’s like to have a real home or family. It breaks our hearts because she is so kind and just wants someone to love her forever. Penelope has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FELV. She gets along with other cats and can be shy around dogs, but warms up to them. If you can foster or adopt this beautiful baby girl, please fill out an application on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org

LOUIE FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME TODAY

This gorgeous boy is Louie! We took him in last week when his previous owner could no longer care for him. He’s a big boy, at 8 months old, 90 pounds and just about the sweetest thing you’ve ever met! Louie is a pure bred yellow lab. We neutered him last week, and he has fully recovered! He’s been microchipped, fully vaccinated and is heartworm negative. Louie is completely house and crate trained, knows some commands, and will give you his paw. He also walks perfectly on a leash and likes to swim. We would love to find him a foster or forever home ASAP, because he needs a family to love him and we hate to see him in a kennel. If you can foster or adopt this handsome, smart and oh so sweet boy, please fill out an application on our website.

💓💓FLEURIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED💓💓

The most wonderful news to start our week is that our sweet Fleurie has finally found her forever home! After being discarded on the streets of New Orleans months ago, to now living on over an acre with her new Boston Terrier sibling, this sweet girl has found herself the most incredible family to love her forever and ever. She went with them for a sleepover over the weekend, and they let us know first thing this morning, they were keeping her. It’s a match made in heaven. Congratulations, sweet girl! You deserve this and we can’t wait to see you flourish for many years to come❤️❤️

Our phone lines are down due to this raging fire across the street from the clinic. Afternoon appointments will have to be rescheduled as there is no way to even reach the clinic right now. We know firsthand what it’s like to be destroyed by fire, so please pray for everybody involved and all the firefighters out there fighting this💔

So many sweet bunnies need forever homes! This is why I hate when people get bunnies for Easter and the novelty wears off and they end up at the shelter!! ALL pets are a lifetime commitment🐰❤️

09/24/2024

We’ve all heard the phrase, “one in a million”, and it’s used quite often to describe all kinds of different things, including a pet. It is truly the definition of someone or something very special, rare or unusual. Fourteen years ago, we received a phone call from the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter begging for our help with a dog they had found. What they described to us about the dog’s facial appearance was nothing short of horrific and unimaginable! Of course, we told them to get the dog to us as soon as possible, so our team of veterinarians could assess her and see what could be done to save her. Within 30 minutes, the poor baby arrived, and we had never seen anything, the likes of what was going on with her face, or lack of a face. You see, she had been used as a bait dog, and wandered up onto someone’s porch looking for help. There was nothing left of her mouth and nose, and her teeth were all exposed. Over the next few days and weeks, she would undergo extensive plastic surgery to put her face back together and make her look like a dog again.

We named her Barbie, and right then and there she became a one in a million dog. Not only had she survived the most horrific attack, abuse and neglect, she was one of the most resilient, grateful and loving dogs we had ever rescued. Barbie loved every human she met, and didn’t hold any resentment toward any dogs, ever. In fact, she was often referred to as a nanny and mother hen, for the way she took care of other dogs, She was so trusting, and each day we had her, the love we had for her grew and grew.

Her health journey didn’t end with her face, as she was also suffering from heartworm disease. This was the result of years of neglect and no one ever taking care of her. She had never been treated like a member of anyone’s family, and we all knew that was going to change once we found her the perfect, forever home.

She was finally cleared of heartworms, spayed, and was ready to leave our nest and spread her wings with someone new. That’s where Sam Steinmetz came in. Sam had seen her post on our social media, and had a lot of experience with the breed and felt that he could offer Barbie the best foster home until a permanent one was found.

Several months after her horrific ordeal had started, she was nominated to be Queen of Barkus and on the day of her Royal reign, with news cameras rolling, Sam announced that he would be giving Barbie her forever home. Our tears of joy flowed as hard as the rain that was coming down that day!

Our special one in a million girl had finally found her forever home! She would never want for anything, and never have to worry that she would be discarded again. This was truly the best home any dog could have ever asked for.

Over the years, Barbie gained some siblings, and some siblings passed over the rainbow bridge, but one thing remained constant, Sam and Barbie‘s beautiful relationship of undying love. We can honestly say we have never seen a relationship between a human and a dog quite like theirs.

That is why this post is so hard to make, and one that we have dreaded for some time. Several weeks ago, Barbie was diagnosed with lymphoma that had spread into her back leg causing her an extreme amount of pain. Sam knew the day had come, and after all the wonderful years of friendship and loyalty she had given him, it was time to say goodbye to his Queen.

With all of us by their side, Barbie and Sam said their last goodbyes. Although we have all been through this before, and have had to say goodbye to our furry friends to send them over the rainbow bridge, it never gets easier.

Our hearts are broken, as is Sam’s. We’ll see you again one day sweet girl. Make sure you share all your Kongs with the other dogs. We will never forget you and will always love you💔🌈

💕UPDATE: SWEETIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED💕

We were contacted about this precious senior girl after her owner was put into a nursing home, and the rest of her family couldn’t care for her. She is currently being housed by the elderly owner’s grandson, but he cannot keep her due to his work schedule. We have agreed to take her. She is estimated to be 12 to 13 years old and a purebred Yorkie. She’s a total lapdog and a sweetheart. The grandson said she acts much younger than her age. We’re looking for someone to foster her or let her live out the rest of her years in the comfort of a home again. She’s missing a few teeth, and eats wet food. She is vetted and up-to-date on everything. If you have room in your heart to help this poor senior girl who is now homeless, please let us know. Look at her sweet face. She has to be so confused😢 We’re working on getting her to us ASAP! Please visit our website at southernanimalfoundation.org to fill out an application

Staff appreciation lunch was a success and we left with full stomachs! It’s always great when we can all sit down and bond as a team! Thank you to the whole team for all of your hard work and dedication💗 (and no … NO margaritas were consumed during this lunch haha)

Baby Grace

We would like to introduce everyone to sweet baby Grace💕 Our Director witnessed a woman walking down the street this morning, swinging her by the back of the neck soaking wet and screaming! She immediately pulled over and the woman told her she tried to drown the kitten in a bucket, and when that didn’t work, she was looking for a garbage can to put her in! This sweet, innocent baby was immediately taken away from this heartless monster and brought to SAF where she was dried off, checked by the vet, and is settling in nicely making her biscuits! If you would like more information on her, you can give us a call at the clinic at 504-671-8235 and if you have room in your heart and your home for her, please head to our website at Southernanimalfoundation.org to fill out an application
