#Acadiana Humane Society suffered major wind damage from hurricane #Delta. We lost one #dog kennel and two kennel roofs. The roof on our quarantine/storage building is damaged and all the #animal feed and supplies that were inside got wet and are useless now. Many trees are down, at least 3 huge oaks trees totally uprooted, and lots of trees and huge broken branches everywhere. The road on one side is still totally blocked by a huge tree that we heard fall during the #hurricane. All of the #rescue #animals are fine, other than stress from the storm and now the heat. We’ll need to raise money ASAP to replace animal feed and supplies, to replace the kennel and kennel roofs, and to repair the roof on the building. We also have a lot of trees we need to have cut and removed. We must get a larger #generator before the next big #storm! We still have no power, no internet, and 4G is rarely working. Donations of any size are welcomed and very much appreciated! Please help our all volunteer, non-profit animal rescue get back on our feet after the storm. Thank you!
Acadiana Humane Society volunteers are doing last minute preparations to ensure the safety of our over 100 rescue animals. It’s been raining off and on already from rainbands as hurricane Delta approaches.
If you’re also in the path of this weather: please prepare; protect property, people & pets. Stay 6alert and aware. Stay safe and dry. We’ll update via Instagram or Facebook as we can, as long as we still have power and internet.

Hurricane Laura is now a monster Cat 3 and expected to be a Cat 4 before landfall. Many areas of Acadiana are under voluntary or mandatory evacuations. We’re under voluntary evacuations here in Sunset, Louisiana. But we can’t leave with over 100 animals.

The area expected to get the more direct hit is under mandatory evacuations.

Stay safe. Stay informed. If you’re under mandatory evacuations, please go now.

We’re anticipating severe tropical storm weather here at Acadiana Humane Society. Funds are low after stocking up on pet food, water, and necessary supplies. We didn’t have enough money for a generator for our shelter, so praying we don’t loose power. If you’d like to help, please feel free to donate if you can. Thank you!

We are currently watching the projected path of Tropical Storm Marco, and Tropical Storm Laura; both of which could affect Louisiana, specifically Acadiana, within the next few days.
It’s critical that our rescue continues to prepare to hunker down with the 100+ animals in our care. We need additional pet food and supplies, bottled water, and other essential hurricane supplies. We are always surrounded by flood waters during any severe weather, so our office is closed as we prepare for the potential situation. Email and text are the best ways to reach us if you want to help. We hope and pray that it doesn’t get as bad as it potentially could.
Please be sure you prepare as well to protect your family and pets in the event that you are evacuated, flooded in, or in the path of any bad weather from these storms. Watch your local news and sign up for alerts to stay informed of any new evacuations or other updates.
If you would like to help Acadiana Humane Society continue to prepare, donations can be sent to help us purchase much needed food and supplies.
