    Animal Shelters in Baton Rouge, LA

    Baton Rouge has 13 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in East Baton Rouge Parish. About half are rescue organizations. Zachary and Port Allen, both within about 14 miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Baton Rouge — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

    Baton Rouge has 13 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Baton Rouge listings all fall in East Baton Rouge Parish, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Zachary, Port Allen and Denham Springs all have listings within about 15 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
