AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION- LUNA

Luna is an adorable girl who ended up at the shelter at absolutely no fault of her own. She is currently 45 pounds and 7 months old.

She would make an excellent family companion! We’re hoping she doesn’t have to wait long for her forever home.

Upon adoption, Luna will be spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

We are open today if someone would like to come and do a meet and greet with this sweet girl!

Please share so that we can find Luna a home!

Meet Beep…and Boop 😂

We are a little bit stumped at their breed possibilities, and we felt that they deserved unique, quirky names to go along with their unique and cute appearances.

We believe that Beep & Boop will be medium-sized when fully grown, with extra large ears. They are both so fun and cute, we’re hoping that someone else will see that too and they will each get their own family soon!

Upon adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated!

If you’d like to meet Beep or Boop or both, come by the shelter!

Please share!

Six lives were rescued from our shelter today! 🐾❤️

Josh, Ryder, Felicia, Fallon, Farrah and Frankie are all on their way to Hail Mary Rescue! We are beyond grateful!

This wouldn’t have been possible without Hail Mary Rescue, Deep South Dog Advocacy Group and Acadiana Spay Neuter!

Acadiana Spay Neuter took care of these babies and got them fixed and vetted last week. They also help our shelter tremendously with spay & neuter and we are glad to work with them!

What a great day for these shelter dogs. ❤️❤️

A few weeks ago, we posted all of these adorable cats and unfortunately, they are all still here with no adoption interest. 🥲

Butters, Knox and Saber are all friendly and looking for indoor homes! We are hoping that after this post, these cats will each find a home of their own!

Upon adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!

If you’re interested in meeting one of these cuties, come by our shelter and do a meet and greet to see which would best fit your family!

Please share.

We need some help with supplies!

We are running critically low on quite a few items, most importantly dewormer and more beds for our dogs to have a comfortable place to rest.

We would really appreciate anything! Our goal is to help make our shelter dogs and cats as comfortable as possible, we hope that we can receive some support to do so. 🙂❤️

11 DOGS. 11 PERSONALITIES. ONE URGENT NEED.

These 11 dogs have been waiting at the shelter for too long. 🥲

Their stay has been extended due to circumstances outside of the shelter’s control, and they’ve now spent far too long waiting for their chance to be able to move forward.

They are now considered urgent.

Not because they aren’t good dogs or don’t deserve homes, it’s simply because they’ve been here for too long. We are full.

These 11 need help the most.

We know 11 dogs is a lot, but we’re hoping 11 people or families will see one and fall in love.

Please don’t overlook them because of how long they’ve been waiting, let that be the reason you look closer.

If you can help, please contact the shelter directly. If you can’t adopt, SHARE THIS POST. You never know who might be looking for their next best friend.

Their adoption fees have been reduced. That still includes spay/neuter, vaccines and a microchip!

11 dogs. 11 chances. Let’s make something happen. 🐾❤️
