Partnership
Together, Dogly and Friends of the Animals BR help dogs move from shelter need to supported adoption.
Shelter need
Your support helps cover the everyday work of rescue—safe shelter, veterinary care, foster homes, and the steady resources dogs need while they wait for a family of their own.
Shelter need
When a dog arrives home, adopters need useful guidance right away. Dogly turns first-day uncertainty into clear next steps for care, routines, training, and a relationship still taking shape.
Dogly helps
Long-stay dogs deserve a larger audience and a more personal introduction. Dogly helps their profiles reach people who can see beyond the kennel, understand their needs, and choose connection.
Dogly helps
A thoughtful plan supports the transition home with practical routines for care, training, wellness, and behavior, helping adopters feel prepared while trust and confidence grow together.
Adopters
Adopters can do more than adopt: share a dog’s story, shop a shelter need, and invite their community to keep showing up with encouragement, resources, and lasting support.

About shelter
Our mission is to rescue, re-home, or otherwise save as many dogs and puppies as possible from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Since starting in 2010, FOTA has found forever homes for more than 2000 animals from the EBR Parish shelter and PASS program.
FLOOD RESPONSE
Friends of the Animals BR immediately went into action and took dogs from animal shelters in Baton Rouge and the outlying areas that were being evacuated to Lamar Dixon Expo Center when the rains began. In August we took in a whopping 60 dogs , 11 that are heartworm positive, bringing our total of heartworm positive dogs pulled for 2016 to 43. We treat heartworm positive dogs even after they are adopted. This unusual number of dogs being taken at one time, in addition to our increase number of heartworm positive dogs, has put an additional amount of expenses on our organization which we did not envision. We ask that you consider donating any amount to help alleviate these costs. Thank you so much!
