So many thoughtful ideas of how to give back to their community were discussed but it always came back to helping the animals. There are so many wonderful organizations whose missions are to rescue stray cats and dogs from euthanasia, adopt them into loving homes, and others that spay and neuter animals to prevent the cycle of animal homelessness. Our own family has adopted Lola, a sweet black cat whose owner would no longer care for her from one such organization.
As the weather in Baton Rouge took a sharp turn towards winter, we were asked to help The Friends of the Animals's "The Dog Adoption House" by donating warm blankets for their foster dogs. These dogs were facing euthanasia at the local municipal pet shelter and essentially pulled from the shelter and fostered until they were re-homed. This became the new direction of the Friends of the Animals non-profit and Maggie and Briana wanted to play a greater role in their mission.
They have been working with the president to develop a list of daily needs that The Dog Adoption House has and are hoping to really make a difference in the lives of these sweet animals.
