Big Easy Animal Rescue

Our Mission

Big Easy Animal Rescue stands as a champion of compassion in New Orleans, dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and showering neglected or abused animals with the love they deserve. We are an entirely volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to creating a more compassionate world for our furry friends.

Why We Serve

Our organization was founded on the belief that every animal deserves a chance at a loving, permanent home. We fill a vital need in the New Orleans community by providing medical care and a safe haven for pets in transition, ensuring that even the most vulnerable animals receive professional attention and kindness.

How We Help

Operating as a foster-based rescue, we rely on a network of dedicated volunteers to provide a comfortable environment for our animals while they wait for their forever families. We also extend our reach through our unique pet store at 839 Spain Street and our twice-monthly wellness clinic, which offers low-cost, budget-friendly services to keep pets healthy and happy.

The Adopter Connection

Adopting from Big Easy Animal Rescue is about more than just bringing home a pet; it is about making a lasting commitment to a companion who needs you. Our thoughtful matching process, including meet-and-greets and a one-week foster period, ensures that both the animals and their new human families are perfectly and happily matched.
