Adopt A Pet

Do you have an animal you need to Adopt Out?

Louisa rescue groups do not take animals from the general public, but are happy to give you pointers on how to:

• keep your pet if at all possible
• find a good home for your pet, if absolutely necessary

The Louisa Animal Shelter does accept surrendered animals, but since they do not turn any animals away, they are sometimes forced to euthanize animals to make room. So please, remember, the best "No-Kill" shelter is a "No-Kill" community. Contact us if you need advice on how to re-home your pet.
