As usual, the call starts with...
Felicia: Hey, Jenny! What's on your agenda this afternoon?
Me: What is the animal?
Felicia: Raccoon. Suspected head injury.
Me: When & Where, I will prep the car.
They don't all make it, but man, when they do, it is a great feeling. This little raccoon beat the odds and pulled through. When release day comes for angels like this one, we don't always get to be there, but are lucky enough to get those updates. Thank you to Geaux Wild Rehabilition for always opening your door to these sweet babies and working so hard to get them the outcome that they deserve.

Being on the Board of Directors of St. Francis Animal Sanctuary has allowed me to continue the fight to save animals throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. This particular day, my love for St. Tammany Department of Animal Services and St. Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue collided!
St. Tammany put out a Mayday call with a list of 50 dogs that were facing euthanasia due to overcrowding. After the amazing community stepped in, there were still five dogs that weren't so lucky.
Jason Bolko, the Executive Director of St. Francis and I worked with Rob Bremer, Director at St. Tammany to pull all five remaining dogs to St. Francis! These pups are living their best life and got the second chance they deserved. Now lets get them adopted!!
Reach out to St. Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue to find your fur-ever friend!

As a founding member of Rotary Club of Lacombe Louisiana, moments like this warm my heart. While an elderly resident was in reahab after a hospital visit, we coordinated with her son to give her place a refresh!
Our amazing club repainted her living room, kitchen and hallway and added a pretty backsplash to her kitchen!
We were able to brighten up her home before her return from rehab!!

Hi y'all, it's Gypsy! Jenny and her bestie Christa took me out of the shelter for the BEST day ever. 🐾
First we went to Starbucks, where our sweet friends at New American Funding treated me to a pup cup. Then we stopped by Keller Williams so I could meet Jenny's bestie, Lindsay. On our walk we ran into the famous TikTok Billy! I'm basically a celebrity now.
We finished the day with lots of snuggles, and a few days later I got the best news of all. I was ADOPTED, and Jenny Lazo & Associates sponsored my adoption! That's what Sold Homes Save Lives means, and I'm living proof. Thank you for helping me find my forever family. ❤️
A note from Jenny: Gypsy, a 10 year old, got a day out of the shelter, and y'all, she soaked up every minute of it! One of my besties, Christa, and I took her to Starbucks for a pup cup from our friends at New American Funding, then over to Keller Williams to meet my other bestie Lindsay. On our walk we ran into the famous TikTok Billy, and we wrapped it all up with plenty of snuggles.
And the best part? A few days later, sweet Gypsy was adopted, and we were honored to sponsor her adoption! 🎉 Every home we sell helps a rescue like Gypsy find a family of their own. That's the heart of Sold Homes Save Lives, and to every client who has trusted us with their move, you helped make this happen. Happy tails, Gypsy girl! 🐾

Y'all, let me brag on my amazing insurance guy for a minute! Every month, Chris Dalton donates a bag of dog food to help pets in our community, and this month we were able to stock several pet pantries around Slidell. ❤️🐾
Those pantries help families keep their furry babies fed when money gets tight, so a pet can stay home with the people who love it. Chris, thank you for showing up for our four-legged neighbors month after month. This is what community looks like, and it is the heart behind Sold Homes Save Lives.
If you know a pet pantry near you that could use some love, send it my way. We would love to help keep those shelves full!

I’m mid-Zoom. Out of state consult. Talking contracts, timelines, all the Realtor things…
Text from Felicia:
“Want to go rescue 10 baby possums? Their mom died.”
Me:“Almost done. I can be ready in 15. Can you drive? I have work to do.”
FIFTEEN minutes later… we’re on the road.
Put that thang down, flip it and reverse it…Because of course we get another call and backtrack for a baby squirrel.
So there I am…Booking showings, Connecting a new buyer with a lender, Setting up home searches, & following up on a listing.
And Felicia?
She’s got that baby squirrel tucked in, keeping it warm with body heat and the car heater like the wildlife whisperer she is.
Real estate doesn’t stop. Rescue doesn’t stop. And apparently neither do we.
This is what “in between appointments” looks like over here. Made it back just in time for my meetings and showings!
Helping people find homes. Helping wildlife survive. Just another totally normal day.

This is just 1 of 40 dogs headed up north to live his best life! When we arrived to pickup Beau, we couldn’t believe this sweet baby wasn’t adopted yet. St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue is at it again! Stay tuned for the next Transport to the North.
One of the reasons I sell real estate is to help dogs like these. Did you know that for every home our clients buy or sell, we sponsor a dog for adoption?
Last year, we sponsored 22 dogs, provided a pet pantry to Washington Parish, did a donation match for give Nola day and provided medical equipment to help reduce the cost of spays/neuters for St. Francis Animal Sanctuary.
Who do you know that wants to buy or sell a home? Let’s help some more dogs find their forever home!

I mean this from the bottom of my heart! When it comes to animals, Felicia has the biggest heart of anyone I know. And the universe knew it too, because it handed her TWO baby otters on her birthday weekend. Her birthday was the 24th, and her favorite animal just happens to be an otter. So when two baby otters needed a transport from North Louisiana to Hammond, we loaded up and made it a celebration.
Three hours each way. Two tiny otter babies. One very happy birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Felicia!! May every year bring you otters, adventures, and the knowledge that the world is better because you’re in it. Every transport matters. Every animal has a story. And sometimes, the universe wraps it all up in a birthday miracle.
A massive thank you to Leslie Greene for caring for these babies and getting them to us safely and a big shout out to the amazing Geaux Wild Rehab for taking these babies in and allowing us to help get them to you! I love being a part of rescue!

Our communty driven community members came together to purchase, package and hand out over 200 meal boxes for the holidays. Our club and community worked for days to bring this together and did not dissapoint!
For two days, cars lined the street to pickup their meal boxes and over 200 families didn't have to worry about groceries! Moments like this warm my heart and remind me why I love this community so very much!

Meet this sweet pup, Molly, who was taken from her mama in Maryland and ended up “lost” all the way in Saint Tammany Parish. Her mom knew in her gut something wasn’t right and had a strong feeling that someone had taken her beloved girl down South.
She kept searching… and finally spotted her in a photo from STPDAS. That’s when the race began to verify ownership, rally volunteers, and figure out how to get her baby HOME.
Thanks to the help of so many compassionate people, her journey home has officially begun! She had 14 legs across the states and one sleep over before being reunited with her mom! Not every transport is the same. Some are tough. Some take a village. But this one? This one hits the heart in the best way.
She was so happy to be back in her mommas arms! Im so happy for this sweet baby and her very excited momma!!

Felicia and I left this morning to transport a mama dog and her pups to a rescue in New Roads,
but before we even got there, the universe had other plans.
Just a few miles from the house, we saw two sweet pups in a ditch. Confused, scared, and unsure… but still wagging.
Because that’s what dogs do. They hope!
And of course, Felicia did everything to keep them from running across the highway!
If gaining a puppy’s trust were an Olympic sport, she’d have the gold medal every time. Watching fear melt into tail wags never gets old.
By the end of the day:
A brave mama and her babies made it safe to rescue
Two ditch pups were no longer alone
This is why we do it.
This is why we stop.
This is why no detour is ever really a detour in rescue.
Update! Big boy, Vinny, that we picked up out of the ditch has been adopted!

I get a call from Felicia… and if you know, you know.
Next thing I know, she scoops me up and we’re road-tripping to Belle Chasse to pick up an injured owl, then hauling tail to Hammond where said owl will spend the night before heading to LSU for evaluation.
Because rescue doesn’t clock out. It just changes locations.
Storm is going to get to move outside soon! St. Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue volunteers are always ready to jump in! Marcos, you still going to say yes when I say "Hey, babe. Wanna do something with Felicia and I today?" 🤣😂
I can’t believe Felicia went and picked up Storm off of a bridge all by herself! 😱 Thank you, Geaux Wild Rehab for taking care of Storm! Y’all follow Geaux Wild Rehab to see all of the amazing work they do! To help Storm, of course we ran over and built an outdoor enclosure!
There’s a hurt bobcat in Thibodeaux!? Say less.
This is how it went:
Felicia: sends screenshot of help request
Me: *Calls Marco to gently ask what he has planned tonight and if it included a trip to Thibodeaux.*
Also Me: Marcos is in, what supplies do we need?
Rescue: Be Careful!!!!!
Us: 😳🤗😃
Can you guess which emoji is who!?
We did it! We formed a small board, did all of the fancy non-profit and business stuff and formed the Rotary Club of Lacombe Louisiana! If you don't know what Rotary is, check it out! It is over 1.2 million people of action! We are all about "Service Above Self".
Our community means the world to us. We hurt together, we laugh together, we cry together and we grow together. When I moved to Lacombe over 13 years ago, I had no idea I was moving into a city that would shape my heart in a way I didn't know that could happen. Lacombe is quaint. It's the true meaning of neighborly. It is the place where you talk to everyone you see. It's home.
What an amazing way to bring together those that love Lacombe so much!🥹
Welp… I can officially add “𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙗𝙤𝙗𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣” to my life résumé. ✔️🐾😅 So can Marcos, Felicia & Macie!
A few volunteers from St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue heard the call for help and said, “Yep, we’re on the way!” Next thing you know, we’re at Geaux Wild Rehab, soaked head to toe, laughing like kids at summer camp, and somehow managing to build enclosures for actual bobcats. 🐱🛠️🌧️
Was it wet? 100%.
Was it chaotic? Obviously.
Did we have an absolute blast? You already know.
There’s just something about getting drenched, doing good, and hanging out with people who love animals as much as you do. My heart (and my socks) are still full.
Wild day. Wild friends. Wild cause. Would do it again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾
One of the highlights? Helping put together the Nutria float! We had a blast crafting this little tribute, proving that even Louisiana’s most infamous swamp critter can be parade-worthy. It was all about fun, community, and a little bit of creative flair!
Thank you to everyone who came out, walked with us, cheered us on, or just stopped to pet a pup along the route. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
What started as a desire to help animals through real estate quickly turned into something much bigger. From sponsoring dogs for adoption to jumping into every animal-related opportunity I could find, this journey has brought me so much joy over the past few years.
In January, my love for real estate and my dedication to animal rescue came together in the best way possible—I had the incredible opportunity to join the board of St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue!
The connections between these two worlds run deeper than I ever imagined. Finding homes—for both people and pets—requires compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of needs. Whether it’s matching a family with their dream home or helping a rescue pet find their forever family, the mission is the same: creating safe, happy places to call home.
Attending this conference may be animal-focused, but the knowledge and connections I’m gaining are helping me grow both as a real estate professional and as a board member. The more I learn, the more I see how these two passions truly go hand in hand.
Grateful is an understatement! Here’s to making a difference—one home, one pet, and one opportunity at a time.
Boy, are we excited!!!!!🥳🥳 We heard that the Washington Parish community needed a place for pet supplies for families in need and we listened! 😊
Introducing the new “Kibble Kottage” located at the Washington Parish Animal Shelter. Have extra pet supplies or food? Help us fill it up! 🐶🐱 In need of some food for your furry friend, go grab you some!
A huge thank you to Christa and Phil for bringing our vision to life and for donating some amazing platforms for the play yards. The pups loved them!! 😍
As you know, we are passionate about helping dogs get homes too. Our shelters and sanctuaries are overcrowded. Looking for a furry companion? Now is the time to adopt!
