In this episode of Animal Posse, we meet Hannah Louviere, who founded Forgotten Felines Rescue of Louisiana as a 19-year-old college student after witnessing a stray cat give birth on her campus sidewalk. Now a professional surgical vet technician, Hannah shares how she grew that initial student project into a thriving 501(c)3 nonprofit that handles some of the most complex medical cases in the state. We discuss the "St. Mary Parish pipeline," where her rescue serves as a critical lifeline for animals in rural areas facing euthanasia due to a lack of local resources, severe injuries, or specialized medical needs.The conversation highlights the emotional and logistical challenges of special-needs rescue work—from performing "medical miracles" on rare conditions like liver shunts to navigating the difficult reality of the generational gap in animal advocacy. Hannah also shares the exciting news of the rescue's transition from a foster-based model to their very own dedicated facility, designed to provide a permanent sanctuary and medical quarantine for Louisiana’s most vulnerable cats. This episode is a powerful look at resilience, the evolution of a rescuer, and the belief that every animal—no matter how forgotten—deserves a chance at a healthy life.Connect with our Guest:Facebook: Forgotten Felines Rescue of LouisianaAbout Animal Posse 🐈 Welcome to Animal Posse!

In part two of her powerful conversation with Dixie, Ashley Gardenier, founder of Southern Paws Inc., continues her deep dive into the South's animal welfare crisis. She highlights a crucial, often overlooked solution: dog training.Ashley explains how training isn't just about teaching a dog to "sit" or "stay"; it's a vital tool for preventing dogs from being surrendered to already overcrowded shelters. By addressing behavioral issues—like separation anxiety, leash reactivity, or house-soiling—training helps keep dogs in their homes and out of the shelter system. These common behavioral challenges are often the main reason families feel they have no choice but to give up their pets, particularly in times of economic hardship.Ashley shares how Southern Paws Inc. is tackling this head-on with its new training center. This initiative is designed to equip pet owners with the skills and knowledge they need to build stronger bonds with their dogs and navigate common challenges. By offering accessible training resources, Southern Paws Inc. isn't just saving one dog at a time; it's empowering entire communities to keep pets where they belong—at home, as part of the family.#animalrescue #animalwelfare #dogrescue #dogtrainingIf you would like to support us, every single dollar helps our animals directly: https://buymeacoffee.com/uforescue Websites👇Website: https://linktr.ee/animalposse Website: https://linktr.ee/uforescue Website: https://unwantedfeline.org/ Social Media👇Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFORescue/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/animalposse About our Channel:Animal Posse is your go-to place for everything animal rescue!

Dixie welcomes Ashley Gardenier, founder of Southern Paws Inc., for a powerful conversation about the deepening animal welfare crisis in the South.
