EMERGENCY dog foster or rescue needed ASAP for Mystic the dog! She can NOT stay in an outdoor dog pen, and we do NOT have anywhere safe for her to go! If any rescue can help by taking her, please let us know! She was dumped on Acadiana Humane Society in Sunset, Louisiana last year, when we did NOT have room! She is still in need of a home or rescue ASAP because we are still full! Volunteers are currently busy continuing storm preparations and can not answer phone calls! Please, serious inquiries ONLY! Mystic is spayed, and recently had her vaccinations updated!
Donations are also urgently needed to help with pet food and supplies! We also still owe Companion Animal Hospital of Lafayette for Veterinary bills! www.acadianahumane.org/catblogger/donate
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! We are a small, rural 501c3 non-profit animal rescue in St. Landry Parish Louisiana run 100% by volunteers! Volunteers have been paying the majority of the rescue’s vet and food bills out of their own pockets! Help is urgently needed please! Thank you!

On 9/3/2024, Jade was brought to the vet because her belly was very swollen, she got thin on her back and hips (can feel her spine and bones), she wasn’t moving much, and just seemed not her happy and playful self. She was panting, and the thermometer registered 104 degrees when they checked her vitals. We were concerned about possible FIP, so Dr. Angie did an ultrasound and did not see any fluid to indicate wet FIP. She started sneezing while at the vet. They rechecked her temperature, and it was now normal. The rescue van’s AC does not work. Even though we had windows open and USB portable fans aimed into Jade’s crate, she got overheated. The outside temperature was 94, with a feels like 104 degrees. Dr. Angie kept Jade overnight so they could give her IV fluids, start her on Doxycycline, and monitor her food and water consumption, and also her litterbox. Sponsors are needed to help with this sweet kitten’s vet bills. If anyone wants to call in a donation during regular business hours, the number for Companion Animal Hospital of Lafayette is (337)284-8898. Just ask them to apply your credit/debit card payment to the account of Acadiana Humane Society for Jade the kitten. Donations can also be made online. Anything helps! Thank you!
Also, if anyone would like to help us either repair the AC in the rescue van or donate a vehicle with working air conditioner it would be very much appreciated! Our volunteers and animals get overheated easily with the extremely hot weather we have in Louisiana. The volunteers have all suffered from both heat exhaustion and heat stroke, just transporting animals to the veterinarian. If we’re hot, the animals are hot too!
Spritz wants to wish everyone a restful and Happy Labor Day from all of us at Acadiana Humane Society! We are closed today. We are normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

On 2/21/2023, Acadiana Humane Society volunteers rescued a terrified pup in Sunset, Louisiana that had been shot in the face with a BB gun. There was also a second very scared pup, with several facial scars, who they were unable to rescue until the next day. They were both posted online, and volunteers checked the lost and found pages to see if anyone was looking for them. It appears that no one is missing these dogs. We are a small, all volunteer, non-profit rural animal rescue with a shoestring budget. We don’t have available funds for any animal emergencies. We put out pleas on Facebook, and a handful of people stepped up to donate what they could. On 2/24/2023 both pups were seen by the veterinarian for examinations and rabies vaccinations. We also had them surgically remove the BB pellet from the cheekbone on the one dog. The dog is very lucky that the BB missed the eyes! How anyone can look a dog in the eye and shoot them while they’re looking at them, I’ll never, ever understand! A foster stepped up and they both went to their temporary home after they saw the vet. Sponsors are still needed to get the rest of their vaccinations, do heartworm testing and prevention, and getting them altered. Donations can be made online through PayPal or Square using the links on our donation page. www.acadianahumane.org/catblogger/donate
