The Alexandria Lions Club hosted representatives from Boudreaux’s Animal Rescue Krewe during its December 3 meeting, welcoming guest speakers Jillian Donaghey and Eva Long for a discussion on their work rescuing animals across the region.

Donaghey and Long highlighted the growing challenge of pet overpopulation and emphasized the importance of spaying and neutering as a key step in reducing the strain on local shelters and rescue groups.

During the meeting, the Lions Club presented BARK with an $800 donation to assist the nonprofit in continuing its rescue and outreach efforts. In addition to the presentation, BARK delivered two bags of linens to support the club’s ongoing initiative to provide supplies for the Pineville Animal Shelter.

The organization’s partnership reflects a shared commitment to community service and the welfare of animals in Central Louisiana.
