About Us
News
Save-An-Angel is a foster home based rescue in Louisiana. SAA is run by a dedicated group of volunteers that we call Angel's Saints. Save-An-Angel was founded in 2009 to raise money for costly canine cancer treatments & to raise awareness about canine cancer. Before long we were in the rescue business. Now, saving dogs from high-kill shelters in rural Louisiana and the greater New Orleans area is an important part of our mission.
Save-An-Angel volunteers personally visit urgent dogs in high-kill shelters. We photograph the dogs, spend time with them and send their stories out to an amazing network of miracle workers. Sometimes we help another rescue pay for a dog to be transported, kenneled, or vetted; spayed/neutered & brought up to date on vaccinations. Often times, Save-An-Angel rescues the dogs & has them rehabilitated before their placed in forever homes. All of the dogs that we pull from a shelter and bring into our rescue receive 1st class medical treatment & have loving foster families waiting to love them upon release.
As you can imagine it takes an army & help from the community to make these dogs forever home ready. We are always grateful for monetary donations, however there countless other ways that you can give. Below is Save-An-Angel's Rescue Wish List. Please help if you can and Please SHARE it forward!

Who We Are
Save-An-Angel is a non-profit organization that helps dogs w/cancer receive life-saving treatments, in addition to rescuing homeless animals from kill shelters in Louisiana. Once rescued, the dogs are fully vetted and placed in foster homes until loving forever families are found. The dogs in our foster program are walked daily; crate trained and socialized. If a dog isn't friendly with other animals, we will let you know up front. Applications and home checks are required for every dog in our rescue. The adoption fee is $150 per dog which includes vaccinations; spay/neuter & micro-chip. All of the dogs are on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. Please email Kristie for an application today! ksullens@save-an-angel.org OR call/text (504) 638-2341
