How You Can Help

Acadiana Humane Society can use your help to continue to save the lives of more cats, dog, rabbits, & small animals! With the help of our donors, sponsors, supporters, & adopters we have saved the lives of hundreds of animals this year. Many of which spent the Christmas holidays in their furrever homes, rather then homeless on the streets or in animal control facilities. However, we need your help to continue to care for the animals still in foster homes awaiting an adoptive family of their own, as well as help to take in new rescue animals. We have been working hard trying to raise funds to pay down our 2012 & 2013 vet bills this year. With the generosity of our supporters this year we have paid off the 2012 vet bills and a very large portion of our 2013 vet bills. However, we still owe money to several vets: Spay Nation Lafayette, Pet Care Animal Hospital in Lafayette, Town & Country Vet Clinic in Lafayette, and Azalea Lakes Veterinary Clinic in Baton Rouge. You still have time to donate to Acadiana Humane Society by December 31st to get your 2013 tax deduction for donating to our 501c3 non-profit animal rescue. As long as the envelope you mail your check or money order in is postmarked by December 31, 2013, or your PayPal donation is submitted just before midnight on 12/31/13 you can get your donation in on time for this tax season. Our mailing address and our PayPal donation link are both available on the side bar of this webpage.

We are also in urgent need of donated cat, dog, rabbit, & small animal food, clumping cat litter, Carefresh small animal bedding, towels, blankets, pet beds, and pet supplies. We have a donation box in the lobby at Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. Or, you can email or call/text us to arrange for pick up of your donations. All donations are tax deductible.

We hope everyone had a Meowy Christmas! While we will not have any more adoption events in 2o13, you can still meet some of our adoptable cats, kittens, & rabbits/guinea pigs at Petco North at 3215 Louisiana Ave., Lafayette, Louisiana, and also Petco South at 605 Settlers Trace Blvd., Lafayette in the adoption centers during regular store hours. You can also meet three of our dogs at Critters Spa & Day Care, at 917 Cayret Street in Scott, during their regular business hours. We are still accepting applications and will be processing them as usual. However, since some vets are closed early due to the holidays, this may delay the processing until we can reach your vet for the reference check. Email is the best way to reach our volunteers. If you would like to meet one of the pets online that is not already staying at Petco, please submit an application and request an appointment to meet them. We only make appointments when we already have an application submitted. If you prefer to wait for an adoption event, our next one will be January 11, 2014, the location will be announced later. Please watch our website, Facebook, and/or Twitter accounts for more information on upcoming events. Thank you!
