Animal Shelters in Louisiana
Louisiana has 174 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 41 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Baton Rouge has more than any other Louisiana city, followed by Shreveport and Monroe. There is no shortage of choice in Louisiana — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Louisiana has 174 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.
Baton Rouge has more than anywhere else in Louisiana, followed by Shreveport, Monroe and Alexandria. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
St. Tammany Parish, Jefferson Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish counties have the most, though listings reach 41 of Louisiana's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
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.
