. These faces all have a chance to be saved. They are all critical at the Acadia parish shelter in Louisiana . Multiple rescues are working together to give them a chance but the costs are great . they need vetting , transportation up north and boarding while they wait. It’s costly but their lives are priceless Please consider helping us help them. Together we really can change lives 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Rescues can’t do it alone. Please donate if you can and please share Rescues need our help to help them. It’s their last chance   It costs on average a rescue 350 -400 dollars to save one dog from here  that’s more than an adoption fee      And many are Hw positive.  With only 17 kennels  dogs must go to boarding waiting for transport  they need all their vaccines and basic vetting   And the  cost of transportation which averages 150 a dog    Once with rescue they need to be spayed or neutered        These are highly adoptable dogs that shouldn’t die because the shelters circumstances    They are there through no fault of their own 💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Acadia  Parish. shelter is a very very poor rural shelter in Louisiana.
They have no funds for any type of vetting including  vaccines and spays /neuters.  They have staff of just 3.   No  sponsored spay  neuter clinics    Sadly They don’t pay for anything except euthanasia of the dogs. Their euthanasia rate is 80 PERCENT . Yup you read that correctly 80 PERCENT  That’s a statistic I can’t wrap my head around.  The dedicated volunteers ( only have a couple ) try so hard to change life for these sweet souls but they have limited rescue contacts  , no funds and really no rescue partners . They have no photographers taking fancy photos of their dogs. , no venues  or interested people to hold adoption events.    The dogs They get literally no one networking or advocating for them but us.   the dogs don’t have beds or toys , not because no one cares but because they just have no funds  and the dogs don’t stay long 💔there no longer timers at the shelter.  With just 17 kennels. No chance for long timers.    💔Additionally The shelter won’t adopt out pits  locally because they fear what they will be used for, making the chance pits make it out alive , slim to none.   💔💔💔.     The dogs in Acadia shelter are pretty much invisible BUT I’m hoping together we can change  that , their euth rate and  the lives of the dogs there
