The St. Tammany Humane Society serves St. Tammany Parish as the only non-profit, non-governmental animal sheltering and welfare organization for more than 55 years. Their doors opened to the community’s neglected, abandoned and abused pets in 1953 by Holly Frederick Reynolds in memory of her cocker spaniel, Yankee Doodle Dandy, because she truly wanted to make a difference in the lives of orphaned animals. Today, the mission is the same, with several new programs and services in place to give abandoned pets a new leash on life, calling on the support of the community to continue the mission.
