Pet Savers, Inc.

Dear Pet Savers Family,

As we gear up for the upcoming Give for Good event starting on April 27 and the significant donations day on May 7, we extend our gratitude for considering Pet Savers as a worthy cause to support.

Allow me to share a bit about Pet Savers—a non-profit organization founded by Linda Shemwell 19 years ago. Located at 4380 Noyes Drive in the Shreveport area, Pet Savers stands as a beacon of hope as a large NO-KILL shelter, providing a safe haven for 65 dogs and 20 cats. 

What makes us unique is how we connect with the community. We take in pets when their owners pass away, rescue strays in dire situations, help find homes for pets when their owners face life challenges, and save dogs that are specifically on the euthanasia list. When a space opens up, we quickly fill it! We are proud of the constant flow of new, adoptable dogs coming through our doors.

Before adoption, all our dogs undergo spaying/neutering, heartworm testing, and vaccinations for rabies, parvo, and distemper. Similarly, our cats are spayed/neutered, tested, and vaccinated. Our diverse range of pets, from cute and small to big and goofy, old and young, are all loved and cared for equally.

Pet Savers operates with an executive director who generously volunteers their time, alongside a small, dedicated staff and a group of passionate volunteers who clean, feed, and love our animals as their own.

Despite maintaining a debt-free status, our monthly expenses can reach up to $15,000. Vet and food bills, even with rescue discounts, pose a significant financial challenge. While we receive discounted veterinary services, it is essential to note that these are not entirely covered, and our bills accumulate due to the sheer number of animals in our care. Additionally, as a physical facility, we incur costs for maintenance, repairs, electricity, and plumbing.

We depend on generous contributions from donors like you, along with adoption fees and occasional grants, to keep Pet Savers operational. Your support is invaluable and directly impacts the well-being of our furry companions.

We kindly ask for your support during Give for Good, either by giving online on the day itself or scheduling a donation for May 7th. Your contribution will help us continue our mission of providing love, care, and shelter to animals in need.

Thank you for considering Pet Savers as a recipient of your generosity. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of these deserving pets.
