I adopted my first ever dog from this AMAZING place. The staff was patient during the adoption process and did everything they could to pair me with the perfect friend for me and my situation. I came to find out later that everyone here is a volunteer and no one is paid. That just makes the time they spent not only pairing me and my buddy, but also the time they spent caring for him before we met, even more valuable. I can not thank HSNWLA enough for everything they did for me and all the care that they showed through the entire process, and continue to show.

I adopted a beagle puppy from HSNWLA four years ago. She has brought so much joy into our home. They are 100 percent volunteers and each dog they have receive excellent vet care and love. I would not hesitate to adopt from them again.

Truly a superb rescue. I have adopted from HSNWLA twice. Truly outstanding service received, and happy with my precious dog. I would 100% recommend adopting from HSNWLA.

Thank you to the great staff and all they do in caring for these dogs. I appreciate the rigorous screening to insure all dogs are adopted into loving homes.

They are so kind and loving to their dogs. Caring for them until they find their perfect homes and in much better health than when they came. They take great pride in finding responsible pet owners so I can see why those that don’t stay up to date on vaccinations, heart worm prevention, and/or make sure their pets are spayed or neutered aren’t considered for adoption. I am so thankful that responsible rescues like this one exist and will always adopt from them.

I adopted my precious dog from HSNWLA two years ago after they rescued him. He has been the biggest joy in our family and we can't imagine life without him. I was so impressed by the excellent communication, screening process and care and compassion shown by the volunteers at this rescue during the adoption process. When the time was right for me I decided to become a volunteer and I am so glad I did. I am continually amazed at the level of care, dedication and hard work that goes into running this rescue. It takes a village, a village of wonderful volunteers donating their time, blood, sweat and tears to help as many dogs as possible find their forever homes. Rescue On!

I’ve been a volunteer for nearly 2 years, and all I can say is they’re phenomenal! I’ve seen dogs come in emancipated due to neglect, and leave happier than they’ve ever been. And they, from the director down to all helpers, transporters, volunteer their time. They’re diligent with cleanliness and prevention of things like parvovirus. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If I could put zero stars I would. They spend all day on social media posting about how dogs don't have homes to go to, but the second you apply for a dog they deny you on a stupid "requirement" they just make up, such as a "vet reference" which in their explanation to me is "an established vet care history." Not sure how I am supposed to get that if this would be my first EVER dog. I tried through multiple emails to work this no vet reference out, but everything I did they said wouldn't work. This group doesn't want you to adopt the dogs you want, but rather they want to give you the dog they "think" you should have. I would not recommend adopting from or supporting them in any way. If you will deny every first time dog owner then just say no first time dog owners.

An animal shelter where caring for, loving, and finding safe homes for the pets is the priority. No one at this organization is paid- run completely off of volunteers who devote hours of their time to make a difference to animals that need it. Adopt don’t shop.

My fiancé and I were so excited about a puppy we found on their Facebook page! Unfortunately, when we applied our application was denied because we did not have a pre-established vet. This puppy would be the first pet my fiancé and I have as a couple as well as being my fiancés first at all. We were not offered any kind of support or help in regards to possibly adopting the puppy. We offered to go find a vet for the puppy and were refused. Our intentions with the puppet were to raise it as a special needs dog for my fiancé as he is blind in one eye. We were never asked any questions as to why we wanted the puppy. We are very disappointed in the lack of cooperativeness and will NEVER be working with them again. We feel like we were push aside form some that was pre-chosen for the puppy before it became adoptable. They refuse to work with us is any cops sort and we’re very dismissive about and kind of compromise. We were told to find another pet that would not need a pre-established pet.How are we supposed to help give these pets a home, when the facility will not help us make that a reality?

First of all, the fact that they don't publish their phone number is a big clue as to the customer service, which is nonexistent. I emailed about bringing in a 3 month old puppy that someone dropped off near my home. I live in a secluded area with no neighbors. I had the dog bathed, treated for fleas and ticks, had food and other supplies to donate. They asked what parish I was in. When I stated Desoto they never replied back. Unfortunately the Desoto shelter is not near my home and it is very small and always full. So they would not take the puppy there. I already have two adopted dogs and I cannot take on a third. So definitely do not depend on this place to accept a stray dog. It's very sad! There is no excuse to ignore a request. It would have been fine if they had notified me either way and possibly gave me information about where to take the puppy. But I didn't even get that.

The Humane Society of Northwest Lousiana is a wonderful place. They truly care for all of the animals and try to give them the best life possible. If I were to adopt from any shelter I would choose them each and every time!
