The Minden apartment pups needed a blood transfusion today 😓 Even after worming them - they were still loaded with hookworms.

Two were discharged and are on the road to recovery… but one little boy is still in the hospital fighting for his life.

Can you help? he is worth saving ❤️‍🩹

Copper says ring the bell! He is heartworm negative!

We are thrilled he is testing negative, but he has Addison’s disease, which he will need to be on medication for the rest of his life.

🧐What is Addison’s disease? A hormonal disorder that occurs when the adrenal gland doesn’t produce enough cortisol. Symptoms can include lethargy, weight loss, increased thirst, and vomiting. With treatment, however, most dogs with Addison’s can live a normal life.

Just a typical Monday at LaMa 🐾
Sheriff Department brought us Moe and Joe - a farmer trapped them.
Ryder, Regan, and Riley came from Shongaloo (we are still trying to catch two moms!)

Puppies are cute - but their vetting is expensive! Please help us if you can.

🤝Teamwork🤝
Thank you to Cynthia Reneau Haynes for working so hard to get your hands on Mama Betty and puppies who were living outside fending for themselves.

Betty is now at our vet. We are taking 7 of the puppies and another local rescue took 2. These abandoned Mama dogs are always so relieved— they have worked so hard to protect their babies from the elements. Now they can finally rest easy.

As always, we can’t do it without your help.

Congratulations to LaMa Animal Rescue for receiving this generous award!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sparklight Awards $7,500 to LaMa Animal Rescue & Support Services

SPRINGHILL, La. (Jan. 7, 2025) – Sparklight®, a leading broadband provider, recently awarded a $7,500 grant to LaMa Animal Rescue & Support Services through the company’s Charitable Giving Fund. The organization was one of 24 nonprofits across Sparklight’s 24-state footprint that received grants totaling more than $125,000 during the most recent award period.
The Charitable Giving Fund, which awards $250,000 in grants annually, concentrates support in the following priority areas:
Education and Digital Literacy
Food Insecurity
Community Development
This grant season, Sparklight also extended support to organizations devoted to veterans’ outreach, elder care, afterschool programs, community safety, animal advocacy and more.
“Sparklight is proud to support the nonprofits that make a meaningful difference in our community,” said Mike Drahota, Sparklight Senior Regional Director North Central. “These organizations are essential to strengthening the cities and towns we serve, and we are grateful for the opportunity to amplify their efforts. Together, we can bring vital resources and support to those who need it most.”
The grant will be directed toward the buildout of LaMa Animal Rescue’s spay/neuter clinic, which is expected to open in late 2025.
“Sparklight’s generous $7,500 grant will be instrumental in helping us bring low-cost spay and neuter services, as well as basic vaccinations, to our community,” said Michelle Lewis, LaMa Animal Rescue President. “With no other low-cost spay and neuter clinics in the area, Sparklight’s support will greatly impact pet owners who will now be able to afford this procedure to ensure their pets’ health.”
Nonprofit organizations may apply for a grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for spring 2025 grants will be accepted between April 1-30, 2025.
