Tangi Humane receives donation to finish kennel

Funds for kennel slabs donated by local business man

Tangi Humane Society received the needed money for the concrete slabs to finish the dog kennels for their rescued homeless dogs and puppies. A resident and business owner of Tangipahoa parish made this possible with his welcome donation. Monday morning the construction of the kennel slabs will commence and may be finished by Wednesday.

Adopt A Shelter Pet!

Tangi Humane is seeking help from the Tangi community for added construction supplies of lumber, plywood, and metal roofing for shelter roofs over the kennels to keep the sun and rain off the animals. They are hoping for donations of about $700.00 to cover the cost of purchasing these supplies if they don’t receive the supplies as direct donations.

Help local rescued pets with your donation. You can donate online or mail donation to:

P.O. Box 1743 Ponchatoula, La. 70454.
Checks can be made payable to Humane Society of Louisiana.

Tangi Humane would also like to thank Lafarge concrete company for their donation of eight yards of concrete and the discount for the remaining twelve yards at $65.00 a yard.

Successful Pet Adoption Day

The First Pet Adoption Day in Amite, LA was a Success

The first adoption event at Walmart on September 20, 2008 was a success with a total of ten homeless pets being adopted. It was sponsored by Purina and Tangi Humane. The members of four local pet rescue groups and two animal rescuers brought pets for adoption or just showed up to help and support local animals in need.

Adopted!

Tami, a animal rescuer from St. Helena found a home for one kitten and an adult dog. Tami still has a special needs dog that needs a home with a family that willing to love a dog with handicaps. He is a blue eyed mutt and is deaf and partially blind, but he deserves a loving home too.

Coco - Adopted Too!

Dana Burris brought two abandoned female dogs that she and her husband found on the side of the road west of Independence. One found a new home. One huge dog at the pet adoption day was a fifteen foot tall dog that Fran Kraus of AARF brought to attract traffic. He behaved him self most of the day until the wind caused him to nod a little. Then a summer shower gave him a bath near the end of the event.

Tangi Humane needs donations to finish kennels

Tangi Humane Society has new chain link kennels and now needs a cement slab for them

A concerned Tangipahoa citizen donated twenty new chain link kennels to Tangi Humane for their rescue animal shelter. Now they need a cement slab to sit them on. A slab of the size they need will run about $4000.00 so donations of goods and money is needed.

“Our next step is to raise the funds or supplies needed for a cement slab to go under the kennels,” President Randy Stegall said. “Placing the kennels on a slab is the best way to provide our rescued animals with a clean and sanitary living environment.”

“We would greatly appreciate donations of needed materials (approximately 16 cubic yards of cement, plus framing), help from experienced cement workers, or monetary donations to pay for the slab,” he said.

Adopt A Mutt!

Tangi Humane is an all-volunteer no-kill animal rescue relying on donations from the Tangipahoa Parish community to provide services and shelter to animals in need. All funds raised are used to care for and protect local animals.

You can check out their dogs up for adoption and that would be helped with this project at Tangi Humane’s Petfinder Site.
