Acadiana Humane Society is currently full to capacity and is not taking on new intakes, other then returns and animals that are already on our long waiting list. Our main focus right now is to raise the funds needed to provide the vet care and food & supplies needed for the animals currently in our care, so that we can place them up for adoption. As well as trying to rehome the animals that are already ready to be adopted. How can you help?
You can help by doing one or more of the following:
- Fostering. If interested in fostering, the first step is to fill out our prescreening application. If you are approved to adopt, then you are approved to foster.
- Adopting. If interested in adopting, the first step is to fill out our prescreening application.
- Donate money. You can donate directly to our 501c3 non-profit animal rescue by using the PayPal button on the side of this webpage. You can also mail a check or money order made out to Acadiana Humane Society at our mailing address: P.O. Drawer C; Sunset, LA. 70584-0536. You can also donate directly to one of our vets if you prefer. Thanks to the Krewe des Chiens donation we paid off all of our past vet bills, and only have a newer bill at Azalea Lakes Veterinary Hospital. You can call the vet at (225) 755-3838 and ask to make a credit card donation to the account of Acadiana Humane Society.
- Donate supplies. We are always in need of the following items: Pet food (Purina brand cat food, kitten chow, dog & puppy food, rabbit food, guinea pig food, & Marshall’s ferret food), cat litter, and small animal bedding. You can contact us to arrange pick up. Or, you can leave items in the donation boxes in the lobby of the Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette.
- Volunteer. Not all volunteers foster. We always need volunteers to help print paperwork, photograph adoptable pets, return phone calls, help with fundraiser events, help with adoption events, clean cat cages at Petco & Petsmart, etc. Email us your interest in volunteering at ahspets@gmail.com . You must be at least 18 to help at adoption events (or 16 or 17 with a parent present).
- Follow us on Facebook by clicking like on our page and share our posts. If you can’t help, maybe one of your friends will see something you share and be able to help.
We currently have adoptable cats, and sometimes an adoptable rabbit or guinea pig, at the Petco located on Settler’s Trace in Lafayette. During the month of June, and possibly the beginning of July, our Saturday adoption events will be held at Petco South (Settler’s Trace) due to the remodeling at Petco North (Louisiana Ave.). You can see our schedule of adoption events below.
