Law for Paws and Friends

Law for Paws and Friends Law for Paws-Established in December 2015 by employees of the Port Barre Police Dept. in south Louisiana. Please check out our Amazon wish list.

We welcome everyone to join us in giving the dogs in our care a chance of better life by adoption & rescue. There is very little help for animals here. We do not have Animal Control in our town, police officers & other staff pick up stray dogs only. We are not an open intake facility, nor can we house or pick up cats. Law for Paws thanks you for checking out our page, and wanting to help us, help the dogs of Port Barre, La.

Mardi Paws deserves our gratitude for making the Happy Barksgiving celebration a resounding success this afternoon, bringing joy to our animal friends.

We were privileged to lend a helping hand to some humans. The delightful meal served at the event included rotisserie chicken, yams, and green beans, topped with their kibble.

The animals' euphoria was a sight to behold, and we apologize for the less-than-ideal photographs, which were compromised by the presence of stray cats seeking to join the festivities.2 dogs ate not pictured.

We look forward to serving them again on Friday. It was a heartening sight to see each animal relish every last morsel of their meal.

As we come together with our family, friends, and colleagues to celebrate, let us also spare a thought for the animals currently residing in shelters, who harbor the same desire to become beloved members of a family.
Blessed paws, grateful heart, Mardi blessed. Mardi Paws

Thank you LaDonna Hawthorne for making ALL of this possible from sharing her post, picked up and made a special delivery and to the Lavespere family...thank you for giving Darla a wonderful new life.
