Metairie Humane (rescue & adoptions)

Welcome to Metairie Humane, your dedicated no-kill shelter in the heart of the Greater New Orleans area. We are proud to be a true no-kill facility, committed to ensuring that every dog receives the love and care it deserves for a lifetime. If a dog cannot be adopted, it finds a permanent home with us, surrounded by compassion and support. Founded by a passionate group of long-term residents who saw the need for better lives for the dogs in our community, Metairie Humane is entirely volunteer-run. This means that 100% of donations, grants, and proceeds from our fundraising efforts go directly to covering the care, veterinary expenses, and upkeep for our beloved pets awaiting their forever homes. Our mission is to enhance the adoption opportunities and overall quality of life for homeless pets in our community. We believe in the power of education, and we actively promote responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying or neutering pets to reduce homelessness. At Metairie Humane, we strive to provide a safe and loving environment for as many homeless pets as possible while they wait for their chance to find a family. Our various programs, including the 'Forever Ours' program and 'Lifetime Love Affairs', exemplify our commitment to each animal's well-being and happiness. We invite you to join our mission! Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer, or contribute through donations and fundraising events, you can make a significant impact in the lives of our cherished furry friends. Let's work together to connect these lovable companions with the forever homes they deserve! Stay updated on our activities and events by following us on social media and visiting our website. Thank you for your interest in Metairie Humane—together, we can provide a brighter future for all dogs in our care.
