The Louisiana SPCA is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and advancing the well-being of Louisiana’s companion animals. We exist to foster the human-animal bond and serve the needs of animals and people across our community.
Since our founding in 1888, we have been an advocate for our furry friends, growing into the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in the state. From our humble beginnings to our dedicated work today, we remain committed to serving the animals of the Greater New Orleans region and beyond.
As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on local support to operate our open-admission shelters and provide essential services. Our team works tirelessly to provide shelter, medical care, and specialized services, including our award-winning community clinic and humane law enforcement, to ensure every animal receives the attention they deserve.
Adopting a pet is a beautiful way to write a new love story, and we are here to help you find your ideal companion. We believe in thoughtful matching, taking the time to talk with you about your lifestyle so that you and your new family member can thrive together for years to come.
You are crucial to making a difference in the lives of the animals in our community. Whether you choose to adopt a new family member, volunteer your time, or support us through a donation, you are helping us create a better world for Louisiana’s pets.
