4 Paws says "THANKS" To "The Porch!"
A great time was held by all in attendance at what we hope will be one of many gatherings at The Porch Coffee and Cafe on Common Street.
The 4 Paws Society is very thankful to the management of The Porch for allowing us to bring our canine friends to spend some quality time enjoying this marvelous outside venue.
Want to be part of something GREAT?
The Southwest Louisiana Humane Society and Juvenile Detention Center has an ongoing program that pairs at risk youth with some of our shelter dogs which helps both the children and the dogs. The name of the program is New Leash on Life.
The youth are taught compassion, responsibility, and friendship by taking care of the animals. The animals, in turn, are taught basic obedience commands and are given one on one human interaction.
We need volunteers willing to step up and help out 1-2 hours a week to help train the children to train the dogs and be a support system for them.
The sessions are typically 6:30-7:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If we could get 2-3 people to commit to one day or the other every week it would greatly help out.
Let me know if you are interested in this program.
