LaMa Animal Rescue is set to have a grand opening of their new shelter located at 220 Bennet Road in Sarepta from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday, April 19. This will be a free community event to attend with music, games, an Easter egg hunt and food. 

LaMa has been operating since 2019, rescuing more than 2,000 animals. The facility has the space to house 40 animals with inside and outside kennels. LaMa is a nonprofit, donation and volunteer-based organization.

Jordan’s Way, a nonprofit organization that travels through the United States hosting Facebook Live Fundraisers for underfunded animals shelters across all 50 states, will be holding a three-hour-long, live-streamed fundraiser for the rescue. 

You can donate or volunteer by reaching out to LaMa Animal Rescue or visiting their website lamaanimalrescue.org .
