VET ADOPTIONS
Website: www.va.petfinder.com, Email: VetAdoptions@gmail.com

The VET ADOPTIONS mission is to improve the lives of suffering animals by practicing compassion and kindness. VA is supported by donations and volunteers.

We are focused on rescuing animals off the streets of the city who face no other alternative but a slow painful death due to heartworms and diseases or euthanasia from local animal control facilities. We provide them with veterinary care, including spay/neuter, foster care and help to find them permanent homes. We are a no-kill agency that does not euthanize animals due to lack of space or time. We rescue animals who are in desperate need of being saved, such as cases of abandonment, abuse and emergency. We educate the public about responsible animal guardianship and the need to control pet over population. We assist the public with care for their animals via financial assistance, training, or education.

Our Services Include: pet adoptions - all pets are given vaccinations, spay/neutered and complete wellness checks by veterinarians, and pet foster homes, visiting pets, public outreach & education

When you adopt from an organization like Vet Adoptions, that has a "no kill" policy, you will be helping to rescue another animal by making space available at our shelter homes. If you would like to sponsor one of the animals on our website, indicate the name of the animal and send your donation to Vet Adoptions, P.O. Box 2017, Metairie, LA 70004. Please make all checks payable to the Humane Socieity of Louisiana, as we are a non-profit, 501(c)3 status chapter of the Humane Society of Louisiana.

We are a small group in a small town and we rescue dogs from our local pound.They are our top priority, then we take surrenders if we have room. Our animals consist of dogs or cats, but did get a possum this morning. Ha Ha. We sent him over to wildlife rescue. We operate out of a large warehouse and we have usually a hundred animals. We are no kill so some of our guys stay a long time before finding good loving homes. We are non-profit and depend on donations. We do get a small amount from our parish which is a big help so we can depend on that each month.

Greater New Orleans Therapeutic Riding Center

We're a greater New Orleans nonprofit 501 C 3 organization that provides horse assisted activities for children and adults with disabilities. Quite a few of our horses are here with their second lease on life, though they did have to go thru a fairly stringent process to make sure they are suitable. We also have lots of other animals, received from folks who no longer could keep them. We have limited space, but the goats and potbellied pigs and chickens help our little ones who are afraid of the horses transition to the bigger animals. We provide horse assisted activities for children and adults, and this year started our "Horses for Heroes" program, though on a small scale, where injured War Veterans come to the riding center. THe goal is to have comrades help fallen comrades with this activity

Looziana Bassett Hound Rescue,

www.bayoubassets.petfinder.org, located in Harvey, Louisiana
Looziana Basset Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit volunteer effort to save abandoned and mistreated basset hounds for the love of the breed. Our rescued bassets are from shelters all over Louisiana and Mississippi, are strays whose owners cannot be found, or are relinquished by owners who no longer want them. Changing lifestyles, the economy, and lack of responsibility are some of the reasons for the abundance of abandoned basset hounds.

Looziana Basset Rescue takes the orphaned bassets into foster care, where they are loved and cared for until permanent adoptive homes can be found. We provide veterinary care that includes vaccinations, heartworm treatment if necessary, and spaying or neutering. We completely rehabilitate, both physically and emotionally, any adoptable dog and prepare him/her for a "forever home."
