4 Paws Rescue Inc

Leigh Ann Albritton and Ren Dowhaniuk, two friends who were drawn together by a love of animals and a mutual interest, founded Simply Southern Rescue. Ren has since moved and is no longer involved with the rescue.

We are a no-kill dog shelter in Louisiana's Shreveport. We operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We depend only on donations and volunteers to survive.

The Department of Animal Control for Ouachita Parish is charged for maintaining the public safety and health as linked with domestic and wild animals, and illnesses thereto

The prevention of animal cruelty, the alleviation of animal suffering, the expansion of humane education, and the provision of shelter-based services are our main goals.

While they wait to be adopted into their forever homes, the animals we rescue from abandonment, cruelty, and neglect receive medical care, spaying and neutering, socialization, training, and love.
