BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) -- Licking for Love Dog Rescue is asking the community to help make a dream come true: securing a permanent facility in the City of St. George.

Since its founding in October 2023, the foster-based nonprofit has rescued and adopted out more than 800 dogs. Organizers believe a dedicated space would help save more lives. They could offer shelter, rehabilitation, and adoption on a larger scale.

The facility would help offer key community services. These include low-cost vaccine and microchip days, spay and neuter clinics to reduce pet overpopulation, training programs, and family-friendly events to bring neighbors together.

“At Licking for Love Dog Rescue, our mission is to be a beacon of hope for abandoned and at-risk dogs,” said founder Courtney Turner.
