ADOPTIONS:
LACC has many wonderful animals available for adoption. As part of the progressive changes happening at the shelter, veterinary care is now provided to all the LACC animals. Every animal, upon arriving at the shelter, is evaluated by our staff veterinarian Dr. Shelly Liles.
All animals available for adoption have had a physical exam, deworming, appropriate vaccinations, and have received Dr. Lyles’ stamp of approval for adoption.
VOLUNTEERING:
New! LACC Volunteer Program Launches into Action!
LACC (aka Roicy Duhon AC) now has a volunteer program!
And we are looking for volunteers! There are a variety of things that volunteers can do:
If you enjoy taking dogs for walks, petting kitties, brushing and bathing, and just spending some valuable one-on-one time with the animals at the shelter, we’d love to have you join our team!
If you’d like to be a part of the volunteer team, and have some other “non-animal” skills, we need you too! Volunteer opportunities also include things like calling adopters, taking photos, and helping with office work. (All volunteers must be at least 18 years old.)
Interested in volunteering with LACC? Please email us at laccvols@gmail.com.
All volunteers will be asked to complete an application, and to attend a volunteer orientation session.
FOSTER HOMES
We are always looking for FOSTER HOMES for the animals, too! If you would like to being a foster parent to a cat or dog, or would like more information, please email laccvols@gmail.com.
(Please note, this email address is for volunteer information and fostering information only.)
FOR ALL OTHER INQUIRIES:
If you are interested in adopting one of the animals you have seen on the Petfinder site, you are encouraged to go to or call the shelter. This site is maintained by volunteers, not shelter staff. However, we will do our best to answer all emails.
If have a question about animals on the site, general animal care, or a situation that you'd like some help with (non-emergency), please email roicyvolunteers@gmail.com.
Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda dog bed.

PLEASE CALL THE SHELTER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE ANIMALS!
Please understand, this site and email address are maintained by volunteers, not by the shelter. Keep in mind that the volunteers who answer email work full time, and may not have access to email at all times. We receive a very large volume of email, and we do our very best to respond to them all. If you are emailing about an animal you are interested in adopting, it is a much better idea to contact the shelter directly, or better yet, go to the shelter.

If you are interested in adopting or rescuing one of our animals, please read carefully.
The animals that you see at this site were found as lost animals or turned in by their owners who could no longer keep them or no longer wanted them. They have a limited amount of time at the shelter, due to the high number of animals coming in, and limited space. If you are interested in adoption or rescue, CALL THE CENTER at 337-291-5644 or VISIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
RESCUE GROUPS:
While we are happy to work with legitimate rescue groups including those from out of state, we cannot arrange transport or boarding. If you are with a rescue group who has not previously worked with this shelter, you must make arrangements in advance with Virginia Lee, the shelter director. Please fax your adoption standards, spay/neuter policy and proof of 501(c)(3) status IN ADVANCE to: 337-291-7051. Due to the paperwork involved, please allow ample time for paperwork to be completed once you go to LACC.
Follow-up documentation from the vet will be required to show proof of spay/neuter within 30 days and rabies shot within 72 hrs. on each animal pulled by your rescue group. Failure to supply proof of spay/neuter and vaccination will result in that rescue no longer being allowed to pull animals from this shelter.
We are a very small facility with a limited amount of space. Out of state adoptions are allowed, but must be done in person, or with the assistance of a local contact or rescue group. We do not do adoptions over the phone and arrange your transport or ship an animal to you.
Save a life - adopt a homeless animal!
ADOPTION FEES
The adoption fees vary for dogs and cats and range from $53 to $68 dollars (CASH PAYMENT ONLY, no credit cards) and includes a certificate for a rabies shot, microchipping of the animal by the shelter and altering by a local veterinarian within Lafayette Parish. We are located off of Interstate 49, Exit 1B - Pont Des Mouton Road (west side of I-49).
About our center...
We are an euthanizing shelter due to over population in our parish (county) and are governed by Emergency Preparedness. We receive many animals into our facility each day. As of September 2007, more than 8000 animals have entered the facility, more than ALL of 2006. From lost and found pets to strays and pregnant moms, we accept any and all animals who need a home. Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we are not able to house all the animals that pass through our doors. Most do not make it to adoption and are euthanized. We DO NOT offer Pit Bull or Chow dogs for adoption.
Each day, some of the animals are available for adoption on a first-come, first serve basis during the hours we are open. While many of the animals turned into the center do not have history or health records, they deserve a second chance. We cannot guarantee a pet's health, nor provide any medical information such as previous vaccinations or problems. To ensure your new pets health the Animal Center does require that all newly adopted pets be examined by a licenses vet within 72 hours. No refunds or exchanges will be considered unless this examination is made. Please remember to bring CASH as LACC does NOT accept credit cards or checks.
Medium to large dogs, especially black and brown ones, and plain tabbies, torties, and black cats are the last to be chosen. Please consider saving the life of one who has little hope.
Surrendering Your Pet:
The animals you are seeing available for adoption are a very small percentage of those who have entered the facility. So please seek an alternative for your pet. There is no guarantee that your pet will be offered for adoption, and there is a very good chance that your pet will be euthanized without being given the opportunity to go to adoption row.
Young, old, cat or dog, we have a pet for you! Come visit us!
