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 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.

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.
