DHS promotes the compassionate care of all animals. We always need volunteers.

Our FB page is designed to help like minded animal lovers to connect and to aid us in our mission. Since we operate in a rural area, we concentrate on rescuing animals in need, getting them healthy and then placing them with our partner rescues in the Northeast. Our most pressing need is fosters but we need volunteers to transport food, take animals to the vets, fund raise, work on grants and any

number of tasks. If you have just an hour or two a week, you could be a big help in saving lives. Just contact us and we'll put you to work at a job that you are suited for.

Everyone has been so generous lately (helping us with puppy pads and puppy food and adult dog food when we asked)until we didn't want to ask for donations again. But, then Sally hobbled up to a local school. She was very thin, weak and not able to use her left hind leg. Since we don't have animal control in our parish or a shelter, they called DHS. When we were told the situation and sent pictures of this sweet puppy, in pain and hungry but still trying to get attention from the kids and staff, we knew we had to try. We were in another parish that day but after speaking with Dr Talley, we were able to arrange for one of the teachers to drop the puppy off at TVS after school. Sally's left hind leg is broken in FIVE different places. It isn't a new injury and she must have been in terrible pain for at least 2 weeks as the bones are already starting to calcify. Despite the pain, she still had to forage for food to survive so she must have stayed very hungry the entire time. To get to the point, she needs help and as usual, our hearts have overruled our heads. We had decided to not take on any more medical dogs as we'd had so many in the past few months and our savings are zilch. But that's not how rescue works. And in Richland Parish, it's not like we can refer them to someone else. Sooo....
MEET SALLY! She is sweet and gentle and so far, the perfect patient. Her surgery, to reposition and pin the broken bones in place, is going to cost about $1,600. Her other care including spay and vaccinations and boarding will bring the total up to about $2,000... that we don't have. So we are asking for your help. Any donation would be so appreciated . If just half of our followers contributed $5, we would have more than enough to make sure this girl is safe and well cared for. Please consider helping her.
Our PayPal address is at the top of the page and our mailing address is DHS, 165 Covington Road Rayville, Louisiana 71269
You can also call Talley Veterinary Services at 318-435-7774 (Monday through Friday) and make a credit card payment of any amount towards Sally's care. We would be so grateful and it would allow us to keep up the work we do in an area that has basically no resources for unwanted animals.
Please share Sally's story and if you have any questions feel free to text 318-303-1448 and we will give you any information we can.

If anyone is able, we really need puppy pads and dry puppy food. Our puppy population has really exploded in the last few days. There's really no "puppy season" here, as dogs breed all year long but they are coming in waves right now. We could use some help. We are great on adult food though, thanks to your recent donations.
If it's in your budget, the Diamond Puppy Food is preferred but any kind of absorbent puppy pads will work great! Our address is 165 Covington Road Rayville, Louisiana 71269. Or if you're local and need pick up just shoot us a text at 318-303-1448. Thanks so much 💕

This beautiful dog has been hanging out in front of the Richland Parish courthouse all day. Does anyone recognize it? Please text 318-303-1448 if you have any information and please share. This dog is not in our custody at the moment, but we want to help it if we can. The courthouse is on a very busy street and it's not safe for it there.

**Update. We have found his owner. She is at work so we are taking Dex to the vet for her but she will be responsible for his care**!
Urgent!!! This dog was just hit by a car near Poverty Point near Epps, Louisiana. There are no veterinarians in this area and he looks to be in bad shape. The Good Samaritans who picked him up were just passing through. They called the Sheriff's Office who told them to call us and we can't say no to this dog. He is injured and in pain. He looks to have been cared for and he must belong to someone. I would want someone to care for my dog if something happened to him. Please share and let's find the owners and if you can spare anything at all, please donate for it's care. We just don't have the funds right now for any more medical cases. We can't afford the ones we've committed to but everyone in DHS has bigger hearts than they do brains. 😟
Text 318-303-1448 and please share. This is somebody's baby!

***Back home!!!***
Lost near ULM in Monroe, Louisiana. "Freddie" just moved to the area so won't know his way around. He is very friendly but a little stubborn. If you see him, or can catch him ( approach slowly as he may scoot away) Please call 318-303-1448 or 318-235-6940. He is wearing a tag and is microchipped. There's a reward and please, please share. His dad is the only family he's ever known and is in a nursing home now. DHS has been caring for Freddi. His dad lives for us to bring his little dog to visit!

Hey friends, we’re running really low on dog food, and our pups could really use some help!

⬇️ Links to our Chewy and Amazon wishlists below! ⬇️

Since we haven’t been able to make as many transport trips up north, we’re just not getting as much food as we usually do. But the dogs in our care still need full bellies while they recover and wait for their forever homes!

The sweet mama dog in this photo is one of the many dogs we’ve taken in who arrived severely malnourished. She was so underweight that she couldn’t produce enough milk to feed all of her puppies, and heartbreakingly, not all of them survived. Stories like hers are why food is one of the most important things we can provide for the dogs we rescue. Proper nutrition makes a huge difference in their recovery, helping them regain their strength, heal from medical issues, and get ready for the next chapter of their lives.

We’re so grateful for everyone who supports us. It truly takes a village to keep these dogs safe, happy, and well-fed, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you!
FYI. Pedigree 44 lb Complete is on sale for $26.97 at Walmart and Tractor Supply. We use a lot of this food especially to feed the strays that we don't have room yet to intake.
