A statewide adoption event is set to recognize a proclamation issued last month by Governor Jeff Landry to highlight pet adoption's vital role in building no-kill communities. To mark Louisiana Loves Shelter Pets Day, dozens of shelters across the state will offer reduced or waived adoption fees from May 29-31.
Best Friends Animal Society, a leading national animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters, worked with state leadership on the initiative and is sponsoring the statewide event to encourage more people to adopt. The proclamation coincided with new annual data released by Best Friends, which shows Louisiana saved 77% of pets in its shelters in 2024, but for the state to achieve no-kill, an additional 12,900 dogs and cats need to be adopted.
“Best Friends applauds Louisiana’s desire to save the lives of homeless dogs and cats across the state,” said Julie Castle, CEO, Best Friends Animal Society. “If more Louisianans choose to adopt pets from shelters instead of purchasing from breeders or stores, we are confident that the state will achieve no-kill.”
Hours and promotional adoption fees vary; please contact shelters for details:
“We believe that Louisiana can reach no-kill if people in every community do their part,” stated Castle. “This is a solvable issue when we work together, and I commend Louisiana on taking this step to safeguard the lives of its’ pets.”
Like Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, other governors and legislators nationwide are furthering the lifesaving momentum, by aligning with no-kill trends as evidenced by an additional 11 states having issued no-kill proclamations or resolutions since 2024 – including Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
