Adoptions and donations to Acadiana Humane Society have been down for the past few months, getting gradually worse. This month, Acadiana Humane Society does not even have enough to pay all of the vet and pet food bills. If you, or someone you know can help, please spread the word. There are many ways to help.
1. Promote adoption. http://www.acadianahumane.org/adopt.html
2. Promote and/or make donations: http://www.acadianahumane.org/donate.html
Tax deductible donations can be made several different ways:
1. PayPal to info@acadianahumane.org

3. Order Tupperware for yourself, or for a wedding or birthday gift. 100% of the profits goes to Acadiana Humane Society!
Locals can also host a cash and carry Tupperware party and all proceeds will go to the animals. Contact ahspets@gmail.com if you would like to host one.
4. Donate items for our Annual Yard Sale. Date of yard sale to be announced.
Items needed: household items, kitchenware, toys, books, furniture, anything in good, clean condition. Donations are being collected at Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette, Louisiana on Tuesdays through Fridays. Please specify that they are for the animal rescue yard sale.

6. Hold your own fundraiser for Acadiana Humane Society.
You can create and/or host your own fundraiser for us. It can be anything from a garage sale, bake sale, lemonade stand sales, car washes, raffles, ebay auctions – the only limit is your imagination. Let us know what you plan, and we will help spread the word as much as we can!
7. Raise money for our animal rescue just by searching the Internet with http://www.GoodSearch.com, or shopping online with http://www.GoodShop.com choosing Acadiana Humane Society in Sunset, LA as the charity you support. Each search raises a penny for us. You would be surprised how quickly those pennies add up!
8. Donate Lowes & Home Depot cards to be used for building supplies for our hurricane safe shelter. Donate building supplies for finishing construction of our shelter. See our website for more information: http://acadianahumane.org/catblogger/how-you-can-help/hurricane-shelter/
9. Donate items we can sell on eBay to raise money for the animals. Examples: autographed celebrity items, valuables, other items that would do well on eBay.

Yes, Festivale de Cochon is French for Festival of the Pig. No, we are not adopting out pigs at the Festivale de Cochon. But, we do have a couple of guinea pigs that are available for adoption. 😉
Covenant United Methodist Church invited us to attend their Youth fundraiser and Festivale de Cochon by bringing adoptable pets. The church is located at 300 East Martial Avenue in Lafayette, Louisiana. The festival will be held on Sunday, May 31st from 11:00AM until 3:00PM. They will be selling Brisket & Pork BBQ Dinners to benefit the Youth Group for $6.00 each. They will also have carnival games for both adults and kids. As well as snow cones and popcorn, huge fun jumps and more activities! There is even a “kiss the pig” contest!
Acadiana Humane Society Pet Adoptions will include kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, and a ferret! Please come by, have some fun, get some food, and meet some of our adoptable pets!

Hi!
I’m Mandy. The person who takes care of me, Sue, has entered me in The Humane Society of the United States’ and Humane Society International’s Spay Day Online Pet Photo Contest.
Now I need your vote to help me win some cool prizes — and to help me raise critical funds for spaying and neutering to control pet overpopulation. Go here to vote for me by making a small donation to my sponsored charity, which is Acadiana Humane Society!
To celebrate the 15th annual Spay Day on February 24, 2009, The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International are telling everyone how spaying and neutering improves pets’ lives. In addition to making pets better, more affectionate companions, spaying and neutering helps animals live longer and healthier.
To enter the photo contest, my foster Mom submitted this picture and wrote a few nice words about me. The rest is up to you: This is one contest in which you can “buy” votes — and that’s exactly what I’m asking you to do. In this contest, every US $1 you donate in my name both supports spay/neuter and awards me one vote in the contest! If I finish in the top 500, I’ll win some sweet prizes.
I’d appreciate your vote and donation today, but if you’d like to enter your own pet in the contest, then please do—I can handle some friendly competition! And if you want to stay on top of how I am doing in the contest, visit the Search Pets page and search for me by name.
You can now also find me on Facebook! You can share my entry with your family and friends — on Facebook.
Enter your pet in the contest and donate to vote today. You may enter the contest until 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2009; voting ends at midnight, Eastern Time, on March 6, 2009.
Sincerely,
Mandy
