Story
5-1/2 months….this awesome dog has been here…..and bonus…..he’s NEUTERED! **check out his new videos with a male & female dog** Why is this gorgeous dog still here? Why are they all unwanted!? So many dogs with “owners” who don’t love them. It’ll never make sense. He’s calm, loving, and dog friendly (with the exception of 1 dog, his kennel neighbor - but that happens over time here). Please watch his videos - look at his face. He has a match somewhere, waiting to see him. Spanky. male. 2-3 years. 56 lbs. **Neutered** Received 7-in-1 & Bordatella and wormer 6/21 Intake date 6/5/23 H/W positive 9/30/23 Video Link: https://fb.watch/oEEnfnk68v/ Video Link: https://fb.watch/oEEBUO2dID/

Story
Holy Cow guys.......this dog! I can't love her enough........this one was hard to drive off without. Hard to leave such a loving and gentle dog behind in those kennels.......especially one who was used to living inside with a family who loved her. Coco (mother to Baby Bella) was surrendered to our shelter. The owner moved to Mamou, but the landlord did not allow dogs. Coco was an inside dog, she's very well house trained, and shes unbelievably sweet. She's quiet, gentle, and loving.......I was melting over this girl. She's so calm and wants nothing more than to sneak into a lap and snuggle……the perfect thing for a small pocket pit to do. (video attached) Coco is 33 lbs, and approximately 3 years old.

Story
It’s breaking my heart to post this but due to some serious Medical issues I am having, I am looking to rehome my 1 yr old female (DOB 10/7/22) CKC registered, 70-75 lbs, in tact, UTD on shots/rabies, located in Cottonport. I put unknown on potty trained because she is potty trained, but I’ve learned to watch her cues to go outside, but can’t guarantee she won’t need some work in a new environment. She’s super sweet and affectionate, but still needs to work on her manners. She loves to travel and is a very good travel partner. Preferably looking for someone with a fenced in yard. DM me if interested.

Luke

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Lecompte, LA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luke was a single pet who lived with a single, older woman for most of his life. He is an indoor/outdoor dog, with a fenced in back yard. She loved him well. Unfortunately, she passed away from breast cancer. None of her family was able to take him in, and my son couldn’t say no when she asked him to take Luke just before she passed away. My son was her AC repair man, so he had a “backyard relationship” with Luke. He would throw Luke’s toy endlessly while working on his owners AC unit. Luke loves to play fetch. We have to put the toy away on hot days or he will run himself to death with it. I agreed to foster until we found a permanent home, but in our area, people only want puppies. Luke is approximately seven years old (per my vets estimation). He has been fully vetted, is fixed, and is on regular heart worm & flea/tick prevention. He has no known health issues. Luke’s only quirk is that he is a people dog. He does not care for other animals. He’ll be a perfect single pet.
