This past year, I visited Louisiana for the first time. I walked the streets of New Orleans and the Lower 9th Ward and witnessed for myself the devastation left behind by Katrina. It had been 5 years and still, the people and their pets were suffering. Pit Bulls are the most abundant and neglected breed of dog in the area. With little to no resources for these dogs, we vowed to step in and help. Thanks to a grant given by the Pearl Family Foundation, we can finally begin our project. Today Jake and Mando and a group of spicey Southern gals, rescued "Noelle" from a shelter in Baton Rouge. As I type this she is now resting quietly in her own hotel room (well she has to share it with Jake and Mando), awaiting her journey back to Villalobos where she will await for a new family to adopt her. Anyone out there looking for their own Southern Belle?
She's gorgeous! Good luck to her in finding a new family!
ReplyDeleteYou truly are the Mother Theresa of pit bulls. Mahalo for all your fabulous work!
ReplyDeleteO, gosh, she's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have her--but my own Budreaux and Hannah are ferociously jealous.
You guys just keep on, and I'll send along the odd shekel as I can afford it.
I absolutely love what you are doing, and I love seeing the parolees too! They are such an important part of your work and I am so proud of them!!
ReplyDeleteI miss that "Southern Belle" already! I cannot wait to visit her...one day! I also cannot wait to get this LA to La ball rolling! Might be the most exciting thing since slice bread! Look forward to meeting you, keep up the AMAZING work!
