 With fundraising at a vigorous pace, the LA/SPCA marked a
major milestone in the organization’s history with a major
gift from the Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation
in
New Orleans, a longtime supporter of the non-profit.
The Joe
W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation has been the largest
single donor and supporter of the LA/SPCA throughout the
history of the LA/SPCA, and over the years, their cumulative
contributions have sustained the organization during some of
its most difficult times. In fact, it was through the direct
work of Mrs. Brown that resulted in the building of the
former Japonica Street shelter, which was destroyed during
Hurricane Katrina.
In Mrs. Brown’s honor, the 10.7 acre
tract of land was officially named:
The Dorothy
Dorsett Brown LA/SPCA Campus
