Heart of Louisiana Humane Society Saves 1758 Animals in 2023

In the year 2023 Heart of Louisiana Humane Society achieved some pretty amazing things even with our horrible economy. We believe that 2023 was the hardest year in our 16 years of doing rescue coordinated 24 Transports!

Through those transports we sent 518 dogs and 118 cats, from Louisiana to other rescues. This brings our total to 636 animals saved through Heart of Louisiana Humane Society transport partnerships.

During 2023, we had 326 dogs and 198 cat adoptions go straight to homes from our organization! We think 524 total adoptions is amazing since we are a foster based rescue A huge feat considering we operate fully on volunteers and donations. We’re so proud of our numbers and thank our community who supports us and as always, our selfless volunteers that continuously take the unwanted animals.

We’re always needing help, so please let us know if you’re interested in being involved.

Domestic Violence During the Holidays

The holiday season is a time designed to bring out the best in people: many of us strive to be more emotionally charitable at family and social gatherings, or financially charitable toward our favorite organizations and causes. Being our best selves can come as a challenge for even the most well-intentioned, given that the holiday season is so busy and potentially stressful.

However, for domestic violence survivors, the holiday season brings with it far more stressors than for most, as the should-be joyful time sees surges in domestic violence rates and incidents. Understanding the factors contributing to this is crucial for prevention and intervention efforts. Here’s why domestic violence during the holidays is a serious problem — and how you can help by being the best version of yourself this season.

The Uniqueness of the Jewish People

“God is no respecter of persons.” See Acts 10:34 below. He does not have favorites. Believers in Jesus are one in HIM. See Galatians 3:28 below. However, without contradiction, the Bible also declares the uniqueness of the Jews; a special people before God. There are several compelling reasons for this indisputable fact.

First and foremost, in order to bring salvation to the world, God created and established a people in which to bring forth the Messiah, therefore, Jesus is Jewish. This fact alone should tell us that the Jews are not more loved, but special and unique as a people group. This is why the Apostle Paul declared that salvation comes first to the Jews, then to the Greeks. See Romans 1:16 below. Christianity has come through the Jews. They are the most unique and special of all people groups because of these things, as well as a few other relatable factors. See Zechariah 2:7-8 & Deuteronomy 32:910 below.
