Zeus Rescues
Our Mission
Zeus’ Rescues is dedicated to the mission, duty, and purpose of eradicating pet homelessness and euthanasia within the New Orleans metro area. We believe in improving the lives of animals by practicing compassion and kindness in every interaction.
Our Community Commitment
Founded on a deep commitment to our city, we focus on finding forever homes for animals pulled from high-kill metro shelters. Beyond rescue, we are dedicated to community-building and pet education, with a special emphasis on providing resources for children and the elderly.
How We Work
As an all-volunteer group funded by private donations and grants, we operate through a dedicated network of staff and volunteers who provide care for our rescues. While we are not a traditional in-take shelter, we rely on our compassionate team to prepare pets for their new lives, often utilizing foster homes as temporary havens while animals await their permanent families.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We believe that every adoption is the start of a healthy and happy long-term relationship. Our adoption counselors work closely with you to understand the unique disposition and needs of each pet, ensuring a thoughtful match that considers your lifestyle and the animal’s personality. We value transparency and provide comprehensive medical care, including spaying or neutering, to ensure every pet is ready to thrive in their new home.
