simply southern rescue

The Lincoln parish nonprofit 4 paws is committed to the welfare of stray, neglected, and abandoned animals. We offer community education while vehemently supporting heartworm prevention, spaying and neutering, and proper pet ownership.

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.
