We don’t like to beg, but we DESPERATELY need Clara to find a foster or permanent home!
Fostering costs nothing because we provide all of her food, heartworm and flea meds and anything else she needs, including vet care! She’s a wonderful dog who loves other dogs, as long as they don’t get up in her face, and children. She loves to go on long walks and play, so she’s very depressed being kept in a kennel for long hours. Clara loves to cuddle and snuggle with everyone she meets. We rescued her from a terrible situation, and she deserves so much better than what she had before we got her. If you have room for her, to foster or give her a permanent home, please let us know! Clara is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on everything . Her adoption comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative, and her next annual visit is free of charge! To fill an application to foster or adopt her, go to or our website at southernanimalfoundation.org @topfans

CUTEST tripod ever!! Meet Rochee, the super hero pup with 3 legs. He’s just a baby at only about 8 months. Our clinic rescued him from a rural shelter with a very badly broken leg, and unfortunately, it could not be saved. Having three legs hasn’t slowed him down one bit! He’s an absolute doll. Loves and adores children, other dogs, cats and every human he meets. He’s neutered, current on all his vaccinations, microchipped and heartworm negative. He also has several months of puppy training classes, so he’s very well-behaved for a pup his age. His adoption comes with six months of flea and heartworm preventative. Please open your heart and your home to this sweet angel. Rochee has been homeless way too long. He has his own Instagram page, Rochee the tri paw 🐾💙 For more information call Southern Animal Foundation at 504-671-8235 or you can visit our website at southernanimalfoundation.org to fill out an application @topfans

😢😢COURTESY POST😢😢

Courtesy post for Big Sky Ranch

Is anyone experienced with a diabetic cat or diabetes? That could take a nine year-old cat who is super sweet?? He was an elderly gentleman's cat. The gentleman died, and his wife has dementia and she is 91 years old. We have his glucose managed very well. He is only on one to two units a day, and I have a libra monitor on him. I will supply the insulin for the cat… He just needs a home. He lived in a household with several other cats. He is the oldest with Diabetes so he needs a little bit of an experienced owner or someone willing to learn. He very much misses having a family of people and cats and is getting very depressed being at the clinic. . His name is Bennie.
PLEASE SHARE!! @topfans

Look at this baby💙

We are still looking for a home for Sora.
Sora is an 8 year old Pomeranian 💙
Located in Metairie, LA

Sora is a friendly little guy who likes to hang out on the couch, take naps, play with toys, and go for walks. He is easy to care for and doesnt mind being brushed and groomed. He can be vocal at times, enjoying a good bark with the other dogs. While he can be quite independent, he does love to cuddle, give kisses, and roll around on his back expecting belly rubs. He lights up when he hears a squeaky toy and loves to involve you in his playful antics, tossing the toy in your direction in anticipation that you will toss it back to him.

Sora walks well on a leash and is easy to house train. He gets along great with other dogs, cats, and even kids. No small toddlers, just because he is blind and fragile, but he is fine with more respectful smaller children about 3 and up. His adaptive personality makes him a great fit for both a calm household such as an elderly couple, and a medium activity level household maybe with older kids who want a dog to play with and cuddle on the couch and watch movies.

Sora has been with us since last year. He was originally found as a stray, skinny and covered in fleas. He wouldnt open his eyes, he just kept them shut at all times. We realized he was blind and his eyes were very painful. After months of aggressive treatment, unfortunately one of them just never healed right so we made the tough decision to have it removed. He doesnt even miss it at all and has been doing absolutely amazing since his surgery.

Although he is mostly blind out of the remaining eye, its amazing how good he can get around. His cataract only takes up a portion of his eyes, so he has some peripheral vision and is a master at mapping out his environment. He can see shadows and he can see you standing in front of him, but he still relies on you to guide him.

Sora's ideal home would be someone close to New Orleans, Louisiana. He gets pretty bad car anxiety since all of his surgeries so we want to limit the drive time when he goes to his new home. He is neutered, heartworm negative, and had a dental recently. We do require proof of current/previous pet ownership, vet records and a grooming reference.

💕💕💕RESCUE SPOTLIGHT💕💕💕

This beautiful girl is Clara. Our Director rescued her weeks ago from a very terrible and dangerous situation when she went to the very street where she had saved a kitten from a deranged woman who was trying to kill her. When she saw Clara, just like the poor baby kitten, she knew she had to get this sweet girl into her car ASAP!! Clara has been with us for some time now and she doesn’t understand why no one has even applied to foster or adopt her. She gets along with other dogs and loves every human she meets, including children. Please be her hero and give her the life she longs for and deserves. She’a about a year and 1/2 old and 50 pounds. Clara is spayed, fully vetted, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Her adoption comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative. Please open your heart and your home to her💕 She’s such a loving girl. To apply for her go to southernanimalfoundation.org

💕💕BEANS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME💕💕

We are absolutely baffled by the fact that we haven’t had 1 application for this fabulous girl!
Beans has been in our rescue program since January, and that is far too long for such a gem of dog to be homeless. She is wonderful with other pets, all humans and LOVES children. Beans is the sweetest girl ever, and loves long walks and swimming. Her foster mom says she loves running in the park and makes new canine and human friends the minute she meets them. She is completely housebroken, spayed, current on all vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. We just can’t say enough glowing things about her, and she’s been patiently waiting for her turn at a forever home for too long. She’s about 18 months old and 40 pounds. Her adoption comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative. If you wanna add a best friend to your family, who will never leave your side and give you hugs and kisses, Beans is your girl. Don’t let another day go by without coming in to meet her! She’ll be waiting for you💕Applications are also on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org

💕💕💕UPDATE!! FOSTER FOUND💕💕💕

❤️❤️MAGNOLIA NEEDS YOUR HELP❤️❤️
We have secured foster homes for most of the dogs we have pulled recently, but Magnolia is still with us, sadly! She is a total love bug, and loves every human she meets. Her previous owner really gave away a little gem. She plays well with other dogs, but this sweetheart would do best as an only dog because she gets jealous when other dogs get too much attention. With that being said, she is so sweet and just melts into your lap when holding her, and loves to give hugs and kisses❤️On her daily walks, she enjoys meeting new people and dogs. Her jealousy may subside over time, but if there’s anyone out there who wants an only dog to foster or adopt, she is your girl! Magnolia is potty trained, spayed, heartworm, negative, fully vetted, and microchipped. She weighs 28 pounds. It costs nothing to foster because we provide her heartworm/ flea meds, food and medical care. Her adoption comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative. If you have room in your heart and your home for her, please go to our website and fill out an application or come into the clinic in person to meet her. She’ll be waiting for your visit❤️southernanimalfoundation.org

💕💕💕💕FOSTER FOUND💕💕💕💕

Sweetest girl ever, Fleurie needs her new forever home! There isn’t a mean bone in her beautiful body. She loves everyone she meets, including children and loves other dogs. Don’t let the stereotypes of Pitbulls cloud your decision, because she is by far one of the sweetest dogs we have ever rescued💕 She was rescued from a not so great situation, but her resilience and sweet demeanor are a true testament to her will to find a family who will love her forever and ever! She is spayed, heartworm, negative, microchipped, and has been fully vetted. At only 38 pounds, and about a year, she shouldn’t get much bigger. Don’t let Another day go by without filling out an application or coming in to meet her in person. Her adoption comes with one year of flea and heartworm preventative, and her adoption fee is $350.

❤️❤️IT’S RAINING KITTENS AT SAF❤️❤️

Since it is indeed raining kittens at our clinic, and we don’t think there’s anything cuter than a couple of ginger babies, we’d like to introduce you to Charm and Cyril! Since we work with Trap Dat Cat, their mom was actually trapped and gave birth in the trap. Their siblings have gotten adopted, but the two of them are still with us. Both boys are the sweetest little guys and love other cats and don’t mind dogs. Cyril and Charm love to cuddle and snuggle. They’re fully vetted, and their adoption comes with 6 months of flea prevention. These siblings are so playful, and we would ideally love to keep them together, but we know that may not be possible. Although, if adopted together, they will definitely keep each other company💙💙 If you have room in your heart and your home for one or both of these precious baby boys,even if only to foster, please fill out an application on our website or come into the clinic in person to meet them. Applications are on southernanimalfoundation.org

🆘 🆘DESPERATELY SEEKING FOSTERS🆘🆘

Our clinic is absolutely desperate for responsible foster homes! We have taken in several dogs over the past few weeks, and living in a noisy kennel environment is very hard on them. All of these amazing dogs love other dogs and people. Our hearts break for them, because we take them in and know they’re safe, but they really need a home environment to decompress in and get used to the love and affection they crave!! If you can foster, or know anyone who can, please have them call our clinic at 504-671-8235 or head to our website and fill out an application at Southernanimalfoundation.org You can also come into the clinic at 1823 Magazine St. to meet all of these wonderful dogs in person!! We also have a purebred female white pitbull we’ll be posting tomorrow. All of these dogs have had everything medically done, are crate and/or house trained, and we provide all the food and heartworm/ flea meds. The adoption application is the same as a foster application!! Blaze is a precious little low rider guy, who has never been anything but happy and loving. Clara would make a great running partner and loves long walks getting to know every dog in the neighborhood. Chipotle is the smallest of the bunch weighing around 8 pounds. He’s the perfect size for someone who wants a baby they can bring everywhere. Magnolia is one of the sweetest little girls we have ever rescued! She just melts into you. They’re all anxiously awaiting your visit❤️

07/13/2024

💕UPDATE. MAGNOLIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED

Sweet Magnolia came to us with Chipotle, the precious little guy we posted yesterday, but they are from 2 different situations. She also came from the Terrebonne Parish shelter. Magnolia is about 3 years old, spayed, had all her vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. To say this girl is sweet, is an understatement💕 She is the kindest, most gentle baby ever. We don’t know what her back story is, but someone sure missed out on a gem of a girl. Magnolia came in to the shelter as an owner surrender which is baffling because she’s perfect in every way. She is crate and house trained as well. If you can foster or foster to adopt her, please fill out an application on our website or come in to the clinic in person to meet her. She adores everyone she meets. Her adoption also comes with 6 months of flea and heartworm medication! Don’t let her spend another day without you💕

07/13/2024

When it rains, it pours!! We have taken in so many new dogs in the past few weeks, and are happy to announce more rescues this week. This sweet little guy is Chipotle and he is a long haired Chihuahua mix💙 He was picked up as a stray, and never reclaimed, by our friends at the Terrebonne Parish animal shelter. It’s hard to understand how something so small and so sweet would have been tossed aside, but we are happy to announce he is now up for adoption through our rescue program. This angel is a year old, 8 pounds, will be neutered next week, is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. Chipotle is crate and house trained. If you can’t foster or adopt him, please share this sweet boy with everyone you know. He just wants a new forever home, and is eagerly waiting to meet you💙 Applications are on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org or stop in and meet him in person.

💙💙💙💙NEW RESCUE ALERT💙💙💙💙
Introducing our newest rescue of the week, Blaze! This PRECIOUS boy is about six months old, and will be neutered next week. He came to us when his family could no longer care for him and we said we would find him a new home (no negative comments please). He’s such a good boy, and is working on his crate and house training. He’s been vaccinated, microchipped and did test heartworm negative although because of his age, he will be retested in six months. Blaze loves other dogs and every human he meets, including children! We think he could possibly be a Basset Hound/ Bull Terrier mix, because his face looks like Spuds McKenzie and his legs are super short🤣 Because he’s been used to being in a home since he was a baby puppy, we’d really like to get him into a foster or foster to adopt home as soon as possible. He definitely yearns for his forever home and a family to call his own. As always, applications are on our website at southernanimalfoundation.org
Or, you can stop in to meet him in person at our clinic! 

07/02/2024

We would like everyone to meet one of our newest rescues, Clara💕 You may remember, a few weeks ago, we posted a story and photos of a kitten that someone was trying to drown and place in a garbage can? When our Director went back to look for more kittens, several days later, she found beautiful, sweet Clara running in and out of traffic on a very busy street. She was moments away from being hit by several cars, so our Director pulled over and coaxed her into the car using some dog food she keeps in her car!! Clara is a gem of a dog, and gets along with all humans and other dogs. She has now been spayed, had all vaccinations and is heartworm negative! She is 55 pounds and about 1 1/2 years old. We would love to find her forever home, even if you can only foster her, she is such a deserving angel. Her adoption comes with six months of flea and heartworm medication. If you have room in your heart and your home for this precious girl, please go to our website to fill out an application, Southernanimalfoundation.org

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

💕💕😥😥GRAB YOUR TISSUES😥😥💕💕

Rosie belonged to one of the city’s most beloved acupuncturist veterinarians and our dear friend, Dr. George. Unfortunately, she passed away several weeks ago from long-term illness, and we had promised Dr. George we’d take her beloved girl in when she passed. Rosie is 9 years old, but you’d never guess it. She’s completely up-to-date on everything, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and as spry as they come! She is an absolute doll, who loves every animal and human she meets, including children. Rosie is completely house and crate trained as well. She does eat a prescription liver diet, which she will come with for the first few months and we do sell it at our clinic. Rosie really misses her mother, and was a rescue when Dr. George adopted her, so it’s very sad to see her all alone and not in a home.
If you have room in your heart and your home for this precious senior lady, who still has a lot of life left, please contact us and let us know. She looks forward to meeting her new family soon. She’s very low maintenance and would just love a bed to snuggle up in with you💕
