Villalobos Rescue
Center
On Saturday Hallie, Jessica,
Loretta and myself made a short trip via taxi to the upper 9th Ward
in New Orleans to visit Villalobos Rescue Center. We waited in line to take the
tour through the center and see the dogs. When getting out of our taxi at the
location the first thing you see is a fence full of beads, and other random
things hanging. While waiting in line, the employees brought out Rhino one of
the pit-bull soften seen on the show Pit bulls and Paroles.
He was such a big
sweet boy and loved everyone paying attention to him/petting him. Once we were
able to enter the facility there is a large number of hand built kennels for
each dog. Our tour guide, Joey would tell us a little bit about each of the
dogs in the kennels. Many of the kennels had little notes about each dog.
Things like, cannot have blankets, or cannot have soft toys were written on the
papers to remind those taking care of the dogs of their needs. Each dog had a
very unique name given to him or her. There were names like Mr. Nibbles for a
tiny pup that liked to nibble on your fingers when you tried to pet him. Another
was named Dennis the Mennis and he was such a sweet boy too. It’s heart
breaking to see all these animals without a home but what these individuals are
doing at Villalobos Rescue Center is a really great thing not only for the pups
but for the paroles.
