Stray Rescue Announces its Newest Life-Saving Program - The Bayou Project

About this campaign

St. Landry Parish is in the heart of Bayou country in rural Louisiana. After the community suffered devastating hurricanes and flooding, countless animals were left stranded and homeless. So when Stacey Alleman from the St. Landry Parish Animal Control & Rescue contacted us for help, we couldn't turn our backs. When we arrived, we saw firsthand how dedicated Stacey is to saving the lives of the animals in such an impoverished area and with so little resources like we have here in St. Louis. St. Louis is blessed with amazing rescue groups and shelters. Although we already pull animals from St. Louis City Animal Care & Control and many others, we chose St. Landry Parish Animal Control & Rescue as our sister shelter because otherwise the animals' fate is death. Not having any resources to offer adoptions at her facility, no foster homes nor financial support, Stacey is forced to rely on other rescue groups to pull the animals in order to give them a chance at adoption and a life filled with love. It is illegal for her to even try to adopt out any dog that resembles a Pit Bull. Otherwise she is forced to make the heart wrenching decision to euthanize because she doesn't have the space or resources to care for them all. We're proud of our partnership with Stacey and the St. Landry Parish Animal Control & Rescue. We only wish we could do more. Every life is precious and worthy of love, whether in St. Louis, MO or St. Landry Parish, LA.
