About Concordia Paws

Our Mission

At Concordia Paws, our mission is to provide shelter to abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs in our area. The video on the left is our first dogfighting ring bust. This is the day in 2016 when we "hit the ground running".  Our shelter was not even ready yet...for these 46 dogs. 

We are a 501c3 non-profit no-kill rescue.

Capturing Life at Concordia Paws

    Who We Are

    Our History

    Concordia Paws was founded in 2015 by a group of  retired teachers who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping homeless dogs. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of pups each year.

    Our Staff

    Our Shelter Team is headed by our talented manager, Colleen Bell. She oversees 85 dogs at the facility with the hardworking help of female inmates generously provided by Sheriff David Hedrick and  Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office.

    Our Partners

    Our Partners

    We are proud to partner with a variety of local people and organizations to provide the best possible support to our Shelter pups. From local merchants to vet care providers to loyal dog lovers, our partners help us extend our reach and impact in the community.
