Adopt A Pet Today
Our goal is to find a loving, life long home for every animal in our care, by prioritizing the best fit for you and the most ideal match for them. To reach that goal, we consider the lifestyle and expectations of potential adopters and the personality and individual needs of the animal.
Adoption Process
We welcome the opportunity to help match you with a wonderful companion and our adoption team is here to guide you every step of the way.
When submitting a form, you can express interest in a specific animal(s) or tell us what qualities/traits you’re seeking in a pet, and our adoption team will help you in your selection. Our goal is to ensure that every match is the right fit for both you and the animal.
Once your form is submitted, our adoption counselors will contact you directly to ask and answer questions, and schedule a meet and greet appointment. Meanwhile, please make sure to review our Adoption Policy.
Appointments are not required and walk-ins are welcome during our regular operating hours. However, approximately 60% of our animals are housed off-site in foster homes. Animals in foster care require an appointment in order to be scheduled for a visit. Appointments are given priority, and walk-ins are accommodated based on staff availability.
If you’d like to bring your personal pet along for introductions this must be arranged with a scheduled appointment.
Meet and greets may include a guided tour through our shelter, one-on-one time with select pets, and an in-depth conversation with our adoption counselors, who will review known history, medical records, and expectations for bringing home your new family member.
Once you fall in love, it’s time to take them home! We allow same-day adoptions for all medically cleared pets. We will processs payment, complete the adoption contract, and provide you with the animal’s records. Payment is accepted by card, cash, or check.
Select pets may be available for our Trial Adoption program, which allows you to welcome a pet into your home for a one-week period to ensure they are the right fit for your household and family prior to completing the adoption.
Adoption fees support the cost of care that is provided to every animal at Acadiana Animal Aid. As part of the adoption, all animals are spayed/neutered, up to date on basic veterinary care and are microchipped. As a rescue, we pride ourselves on a high standard of care and treat a wide variety of diseases, illnesses and trauma to ensure the health and wellbeing of the animals placed in your home. On average we spend more than $400 on each animal that comes through our doors making our adoption fees an incredible value.
