Please join Acadiana Humane Society, Best Friends, and the Petco Foundation in helping keep pets and families together! November 5th through 14th Best Friends has a table set up at the Lafayette Petco to promote Acadiana Humane Society and Petco Foundations Food Bank program. Patty Mehan, Best Friends volunteer, will be available on Saturday, November 13th and Sunday, November 14th to promote the Food Bank. A donation bin is always available at the Lafayette Petco to collect donated dry and canned cat food, dry and canned dog food, and cat litter. However, between November 5th and 14th, all donations of Hill’s Science Diet pet food will be matched pound for pound by Hill’s. The pet food donated and placed into the bin at Petco goes into Acadiana Humane Society’s Food Bank. This pet food is then provided to families suffering from economical stress to help them keep their pets.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a musician who not only supported No Kill Animal Shelters, but wrote songs about it? In fact, there is. His name is Marc Gunn and he sings fun Celtic songs…. with a twist. Marc is the man behind “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers”, a comedic album of Irish songs rewritten about cats. His song “Black Is …the Color (of My Cat’s Fur)” even includes a plea to congress to make ALL shelters No-Kill.
For over ten years, Marc Gunn is a seasoned musician. He has performed traditional and not-so-traditional Celtic music at venues from Ireland to Italy and everywhere in between. Now he’s bringing his unique style of Celtic music to Lafayette for an evening of Celtic music and fun.
Marc Gunn, Celtic American and Folk Musician and Podcaster, will be in concert presented by Folks of Acadiana to benefit non-profit no-kill animal rescue Acadiana Humane Society. The concert is on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 7PM at the First Lutheran Church at 301 West Farrel Rd in Lafayette, LA. Tickets are $15.00 each, children under 12 are free. You may purchase your tickets at our Petco Adoption events on Saturdays, or by calling Acadiana Humane Society at 337-668-4484 or Scotty Weeks (Folks of Acadiana) at 337-359-3717. You can also purchase tickets in advance through PayPal using the link on this page: http://acadianahumane.org…marc-gunn-benefit-concert/

On Saturday, October 25th we had some wonderful visitors at our Petco Adoption Event! Abigail and Zachary came in with their father to present a donation to Acadiana Humane Society to help the rescue animals. Abigail and Zachary saved up their hard earned money in a jar to donate to help the animals. Together they earned and donated over $22.00. The animals and volunteers of Acadiana Humane Society thank you both!
