Just a few weeks ago, LaMa Animal Rescue in Springhill made a trip to Doyline to help save 26 hoarded dogs.

According to LaMa director Michelle Lewis, it was an important, yet costly rescue.

“The hoarded dogs have cost us ten thousand dollars,” Lewis said. “That covers spays/neuters boarding dentals and vetting.”

LaMa is hosting a fundraiser from 5 until 7 p.m. Monday, July 1 at Springhill Farmers Market. $12 will buy a smoked pork loin sandwich, potato salad, bbq beans, pickle and dessert.

If you live in the south Webster area and can’t make the trek to Springhill, LaMa Animal Rescue will be more than happy to accept a donation. Please contact Lewis through the website: lamaanimalrescue.org or by email: LaMaAnimalRescue@gmail.com .

LaMa is a non-profit, volunteer-based group advocating for the many homeless, abused and neglected animals of Northwest Louisiana and the surrounding areas. Volunteers save animals from local kill shelters and work to reduce euthanasia rates.
