Acadiana Animal Aid
A Legacy of Second Chances
Acadiana Animal Aid is a dedicated no-kill animal welfare organization committed to rescuing, sheltering, and protecting companion animals until every one of them finds a loving home. We believe in inspiring our community through compassion, ensuring every dog and cat in our care receives the medical attention and support they deserve.
Fifty Years of Compassion
Founded in 1974, we have spent 50 years serving as a leader in animal transport, education, and adoption. By partnering with local municipal shelters across Louisiana, we provide a safe place to land for animals at risk, creating a brighter future for those who have run out of time.
Our Care Model
Our work is fueled by a vital network of staff, volunteers, and foster families who provide essential daily care. With 60% of our animal population thriving in foster homes, we are able to save nearly 1,000 cats and dogs annually, ensuring they grow and heal in a nurturing environment before meeting their forever families.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We are passionate about making lifelong connections, prioritizing the best fit for you and the most ideal match for our animals. Our adoption process is designed to be a transparent and joyful experience, where our counselors provide guidance and support every step of the way to ensure a successful transition for your new family member.
