They have volunteers all over Southeastern Louisiana and their new Stray Café in New Orleans helps a few dogs at a time go from homelessness to a loving forever home through training, socialization and love. The process of rehoming your pet is straightforward and easy. With just a few steps, your dog can be on their way to a new home.

Animal control laws allow shelters to hold stray pets and dispose of them after a retention period that usually lasts a few days. However, taking an animal to a shelter could cause emotional damage to your neighbor and cause the pet to become distressed. Since an owner's rights can take a long time to expire if you've just started caring for a stray pet, the most effective approach may be to take the pet to an animal shelter and adopt it after the retention period. Take Paws Rescue helps with this mission by taking pets out of shelters and preparing them for transportation to foster homes, adopters, rescue organizations and other shelters in the United States. The only way to recover the animal from the hands of a person who adopted the pet from a shelter is to prove that the shelter did not comply with the law.

An animal shelter could also be responsible for harming a pet if you try to recover it before it was harmed. Finding a new home for your pet in Louisiana doesn't have to be difficult or stressful. With Rehome's safe and reliable process, you can rest assured that your pet will be taken care of and find their forever home. Take Paws Rescue also provides an invaluable service by taking pets out of shelters and preparing them for transportation to foster homes, adopters, rescue organizations and other shelters in the United States.
