UPDATE ADOPTED🐾❤️

🌟 Meet Cyrus! This sweet 1 year and 7-month-old Hound Mix is in need of a loving foster home after being surrendered due to his family moving. Unfortunately, Cyrus is Heartworm positive and would love a calm, quiet environment during his treatment. A loud shelter isn’t ideal for him right now. If you have space and the heart to help, Cyrus and us, would be so grateful for your support during this time. 🐾💙 Can you help him on his journey to recovery?

THANK YOU to Bayou Canine Academy for being a Sponsor and supporter of KDPOT!

Bayou Canine Academy is a Pet Boarding and Training Business located in Slidell.
The women who run it are passionate about what they do! Your dog gets to board in their Family home, never having to feel the stress of a Kennel environment. They are able to give around the clock care and one-on-one attention to your pet.

La Harris is a Co-Founder at BCA, having been professionally trained and certified at Top Tier K9 training academy for dog trainers. With over 10 years of personal experience in caring for animals, her passion for canines inspired her to open her own training academy.

LA has worked in veterinary hospitals, learning the appropriate and safe methods of medication administration, allowing her to help pups that require more specialized care. Her ambition to help the canine community led to her continuous participation with a local foster rescue, Once Upon A Tail. She has opened her home to numerous fosters from this rescue, gaining experience with newborns, elders, and soon-to-be momma dogs!

Rachel Harris is the Co-founder of BCA! As the co-founder of BCA, Rachel shares an equal level of devotion to all pups that enter her home. Her experience extends from her time as an active military member working with different K9 units. Collectively, she has spent 11 years learning the various methods of training and handling for canines of all breeds. This experience has prepared her to work with canines of all energy levels and personality types.

Rachel’s passion for the pups has led to her participation with the same local foster rescue, Once Upon A Tail. Already having a full family of pups, Rachel has opened her home to numerous fosters, as well as found one of her forever pups, Jane, from her time spent volunteering here.
