Pet Savers

Welcome to Pet Savers, Inc. in Shreveport, Louisiana. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to rescue, protect, and place abandoned or unwanted pets and provide funds for neutering, spaying, and other veterinary care.

We provide a safe, no-kill alternative to Animal Control. Our space is limited, however, and if pets are not being adopted fast enough we won't have room to take on more.

CALLING PET SAVERS
Because of our huge call volume, we are not able to take calls or messages on our Pet Savers phone (318) 636-0400. We ask you to try using our website instead. But, if you are desperate to talk with someone, you can contact Sarah (318) 469-6591, Laura (318) 294-7643, or Laura Lynn (318) 572-0981 between 9 and 6. Speak SLOWLY and CLEARLY when leaving them a message and be sure your voicemail is set up and not full. These people are all volunteers with careers or busy lives and are not AT the shelter. We are not equipped to respond to emergencies. Our staff and volunteers are limited as we are a small non-profit organization funded by your donations. 75 DOGS, and 20 cats! We are governed by City zoning and licensed by Caddo Parish Animal Services.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
We welcome your visit to the shelter (4380 Noyes Dr.) and we adopt by application, which you can also download from this site (drop-down menu under DOGS). Our pets are precious to us and we have big financial and emotional investments in them. We simply try to make the best match for both the person and the animal. Our adoption fees, as of May 2016, are $85 or more for MOST bigger dogs, $100- $200 for smaller dogs, and $65-$100 for MOST cats.

Open to the public: EVERY DAY from Noon to 4pm
Holiday hours shorter

Our usual Adoption Days at Petsmart on Youree Drive every 3rd and 4th Saturday of the month.

But remember that EVERY DAY IS ADOPTION DAY at our shelter at 4380 Noyes Drive in Shreveport. We are open 7 days a week from 12 to 4 PM. On MAJOR holidays, we have limited hours.

Every Thursday about 9:20 AM on KSLA
Every other Tuesday about 11:45 AM on KTBS

We can always use volunteers!

Volunteer Examples:
We need a small team of people every morning from 9 to noon for our cat clean-up. Since it's not very glamorous, it helps to have a buddy. We understand that most people work, so we hope for some retirees who love cats.

We could use one retired person per day to greet clients in our office from noon to about 3:30. You can pet dogs, pet cats, load laundry, read a magazine. (The staff is often out with the dogs and can't hear the doorbell.)

You can come out and walk a dog or two outside the shelter. They LOVE it and it's good for you.

Please check out other volunteer opportunities under the "Ways To Give" drop down menu.

Pet Savers wants to save as many animals as possible. We are a limited intake shelter, so due to space and City zoning we are unable to accept every animal. We are almost always at capacity. 75 DOGS...25 CATS...that's IT!

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CATS...
We DO have cats to adopt, but we are limited on intakes.
There are now TWO "Cat only" rescues to contact in Shreveport: Shreveport Bossier Animal Rescue
Port City Cat Rescue
(See their Facebook pages).

Reach out to others to let them know you need to re-home your pet... a shelter is not usually the best place for it. The best thing for your animal is going from your home to another GOOD home.

We CAN post your pet on our FB page for you and give you ideas about screening applicants.

If you have a specific breed of pet, do a Google search for your breed's rescue, e.g. Golden Retriever Rescue. Don't worry about how far away it is.

We are not the only rescue in the area...just the largest...but we are still limited. For a complete list of local rescue organizations, call one of our Phone Volunteers and leave a message.

If you do need to bring us your pet for possible intake, please try NOT to come on our busiest day at our busiest time (Sat 12 - 3). We are open 7 days a week. Please don't threaten us with taking it to be killed at the pound unless we take it. We want to help solve your problem, but we did not create it.

The patented Kuranda Dog Beds offer many unique benefits that can't be found anywhere else:

• Patented "Chewproof" design
• Off-the-floor comfort
• Durable construction
• Exceptionally easy to clean
• Firm, even, orthopedic support

Bequests...
Nobody wants to talk about dying, but everybody does eventually. Most of us have wills. Some of us have no family.

If you can find it in your heart to add us to your will, it means we can continue our mission.

As a non-profit, we always need help...and your donation is Tax Deductible.

Address The Pet Savers Shelter 4380 Noyes Dr. Shreveport, LA 71119 Get Directions

Hours Every Day from Noon-4:00pm Other times by appointment.

Directions: From I-20 heading west. Take Pines Rd. exit (exit 10) and turn right (north). Take the first right (Greenwood Rd. - Rt. 80) and go about 1/2 mile to just beyond Shouse Collision Repair. Turn left on Noyes Rd. and go to the end.

Because many of the pets we save are strays, we cannot guarantee that they are house-trained, good with children, good with other pets, friendly or unfriendly. We simply don't know their history unless the owners gave them up for adoption. But we feel all animals are deserving of a home and safe place to live, regardless of how large or small, cute or homely, perfect or disabled.

We rely on donations to keep up our work. If you can help us with donations or by volunteering, we welcome you. If not, we hope you will tell others about us. And thanks for visiting our web site!

Note: Please do NOT bring pets to the shelter without prior permission.
