 Robinson’s Rescue recently announced the generous donation of land and buildings at 2515 Line Ave from the doctors of the Shreveport Eye Clinic. “We are looking forward to opening our doors in this new location,” said Candy Peavy, Board President. “We will have an abundance of parking for our clients and plenty of room to grow the organization. We will continue to make a positive impact on the community by saving lives through prevention.” In addition to the surgical facilities, the site will include a small dog park at the corner of Line Av and Robinson St. The building renovation is scheduled to be complete by the end of the year. In the meantime, Robinson’s Rescue is still operating in its current location at 504 E. Kings Highway in Shreveport.
