Welsh friends:::: I’m looking for someone who would be interested in volunteering a little bit of their time and expertise to do a few blood draws on some dogs at the Welsh shelter, Thursday afternoon. Anyone?

♥️🐾♥️JDAWG - Jeff Davis Animal Welfare Group gives a huge THANK YOU to Ms. Julie Richard & Mr. Oran Richard for donating a box of “The Farmer’s Dog” freshly made all natural food to us. We knew exactly who would benefit from their generosity! As you can see in the pictures, Bosco is gaining weight and doing so well with all the love and care at Amanda Hudson Gist’s home. We’re sure he will enjoy the yummy food, and it will help him as he grows stronger every day!
♥️The kindness of our community has no limits. The animals here are very blessed by you.♥️🐾♥️

💜What many see in the pic below are bags of comforters & blankets.
🐾What we see is warmth, softness, and security for scared & hungry abandoned animals.
✝️It was an honor today to meet the beautiful Becky Laborde White’s mom, Ms. Sandra Normand Terrebonne.
💜Ms. Sandra made this donation because she wants to continue to share the tremendous love and compassion Becky had for all animals. We are truly grateful for all Becky did and will do our best to help the furbabies in need that we know she is watching over now.💜🐾💜

JDAWG - Jeff Davis Animal Welfare Group PUPDATE:
♥️🎉Elliot has a home!!!🎉♥️
First pic is his initial vet visit after being in the Jennings, LA Shelter for a year. He spent a year with us after that.
And now.
Elliot has what he deserved from his first breath of life. He has a forever family and a home filled with love.
We give many thanks to the Cathy Bissell Pet Foundation and the Humane Society of West Michigan on behalf of Elliot. No words can express our gratitude.
But THIS is why we do what we do.
Thank you for helping us.
♥️🐾♥️

What a difference some love, affection and regular feedings can make in just short of a week. ♥️
Bosco had a vet appointment yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly he is HW+ and we will address that in 2 weeks, once he’s put on some more weight and is in better shape.
He has a significant fungal infection in both ears, an eye infection and at some point in his life it appears that he was shot, and still has the pellet under the skin of his left shoulder.
He is on a round of antibiotics and steroids along with a daily spray of fungicide in his ears (which he REALLY doesn’t like.)
He is an absolute sweetheart of a dog and has become my SHADOW. He follows me EVERYWHERE, when he isn’t on the search for something to eat.
This couldn’t have been possible for him to overcome if it wasn’t for the constant support, well wishes and generous donations from our community, that I am so grateful to be a part of! You guys are absolutely AMAZING!

All the love,
Amanda & Bosco

We know that we have been asking for donations quite a bit lately, but this is the reality of what’s happening in our small community.
$1 helps if you’re able. It’s heartbreaking to see precious pups like this, but that’s why we do what we do.🥺
Together with y’all, we can save as many as possible.♥️🐾♥️

Yesterday, we went to the animal shelter to help Chelsi Leger vaccinate, HW test and temp test some of her dogs. We successfully HW tested 5 dogs (3 negatives, 2 positives) vaccinated 12, and temp tested 4. While I was there, Chelsi brought out Bosco. I INSTANTLY knew he needed to come home with me. He is the sweetest boy, and was very happy, despite his circumstances.
Bosco was picked up, wandering the streets of Jennings, in pretty bad shape. I was told he was not thriving in the shelter and seemed to be losing weight rapidly.
So I stepped up for him, and have decided he’s my new foster fella! ♥️
He is HW positive, underweight, unaltered, has several lesions on his legs and paws, and a possible eye infection.
I plan to take him to the vet, as soon as they can see us, and have already come up with an action plan to get some weight on him slowly, and safely.
If anyone is interested in helping us help him, Lisa Semmes will post our PayPal link in the comments, or you can call Fontenot Animal Hospital and donate specifically for Bosco.

He’ll NEVER know a day of suffering, EVER AGAIN.
For that, I am truly grateful to be able to do what we do.

All the love,
Amanda & Bosco

♥️🐾♥️Our precious Ella was spayed today and is now home safe with her foster mom, Stina Speight Broussard. She will be loved and cared for inside Stina’s beautiful new home. What a blessing you are, Stina! It takes a heart of gold to open up your brand new home to a foster; Stina knows what’s most important, though: the life of an innocent pup who has been failed by humans. Ella knows she is safe and loved, and that’s all she will know from now on. We give tremendous thanks to Lu's Labs for welcoming Ella into your rescue.
🐶Ella is saved. We can’t wait to see her flourish and thrive with y’all! ♥️🐾♥️

JDAWG - Jeff Davis Animal Welfare Group NEWS:
💔TWO YEARS, actually 28 MONTHS💔
That’s how long Elliot has waited for a rescue.
🥳TODAY WAS THAT DAY!
♥️Elliot arrived at the Jennings, LA Animal Shelter in January of 2019. He was loved by all, but never found a forever home. He became sad,didn’t want to eat much, and Chelsi Leger became worried.😢
She tried again to find him a home; back then we didn’t have any connections to rescues like we are blessed with now.
We took him home in February of 2020; he weighed 48 lbs.
🥰He now weighs 71 lbs and is full of life and love!
🎉Once again, Cathy Bissell and Elisha Henry stepped in and changed his life! He is now headed to Michigan to a wonderful rescue who will make sure he has the best life ever.
Chelsi, Amanda Hudson Gist, and I have all been part of Elliot’s life. We will miss him. We will cry. I am crying....2 years is a long time.
We will never forget him.
🥺Elliot never gave up; we won’t either, Elliot. 😘
🙏🏻Please pray for him and all the others on the transport, as well as their drivers/caregivers.🙏🏻
♥️🐾♥️We love you, ELLIOT!♥️🐾♥️

😢♥️🙏🏻JDAWG - Jeff Davis Animal Welfare Group thanks Chelsi Leger for entrusting us to foster precious little Athena.
🥺Chelsi posted her story yesterday. It was discovered after X-rays at the vet that she has a bullet lodged in her spine which has caused paralysis in her back legs. Chelsi already found her an amazing rescue,No More Pain Rescue, in New York. We have the privilege of caring for her until she leaves on April 30.
🐶We are going to give her lots of TLC(thanks to Mijalai Guillory & Kennedy for her collar and name tag, baby socks, treats, crate, and other goodies😘).
🐾Athena’s transport to her rescue will cost $165. If you would like to help her get to the rescue where they will assess her needs, do water therapy and other methods, possible surgery, etc, we will put our PayPal below. Anything we raise above $165 will go to her rescue to help Athena get better, and one day hopefully gain the use of her legs and be able to run like a puppy should be able to.
💔It is unknown who could do such an evil act on a defenseless baby puppy like her, but we will do all we can to not let evil win. Athena is a warrior and one of God’s little angels😇. She will grow up and know nothing but love from now on.♥️🐾♥️
