On August 12, 2016, the Denham Springs Animal Shelter was engulfed in rising flood waters. The dedicated staff and volunteers fought to save as many animals as possible from the flood waters, eventually having to unlatch the kennel doors and let the dogs swim out and climb onto the roof.

The rescue efforts saved many animals, but the shelter is in need of rebuilding and repairs after the flood waters recede. The cattery is totally demolished, and the kennel area and office space are severely damaged.

All funds raised will go to the animal shelter to go toward recovery and rebuilding efforts.  Petco Foundation has generously offered to match each dollar raised up to $50,000. Thank you for your care and support.
