🚨 PLAQUEMINES PARISH HURRICANE IDA UPDATE! 🚨

In the days following Hurricane Ida, the Louisiana SPCA has taken in more than 180 animals. While the normal stray-hold period in Plaquemines Parish is five days from the date of intake, the parish is extending this to 10 days from the date of intake.

Once a stray animal has been held for the 10-day stray-hold window the Louisiana SPCA becomes the legal owner and can determine the best placement option for that animal, including adoption. All animals taken in since Hurricane Ida can be viewed at www.louisianaspca.org/strays.

If you see your pet on the Louisiana SPCA’s website, here’s what you should do.
🐾 Immediately fill out a lost report at www.louisianaspca.org/lost. If you are unable to fill out the report yourself, call 504.934.6931 for assistance.
🐾 Once the report is received, someone from the Louisiana SPCA will contact you within 24-hours to set an appointment to reclaim your pet.

The animal assistance efforts in Plaquemines Parish are well underway and the Plaquemines Parish Government has activated two national groups to assist the parish run animal control: The ASPCA and ifaw. The Louisiana SPCA is aiding in these efforts by providing pet food to be distributed to residents and pets being fed-in-place. For animal emergencies please call Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office at 911 so they can dispatch an officer. For questions call the Louisiana SPCA at 504.368.5191.

At this time the Louisiana SPCA is asking the public to consider making donations of pet food to support the recovery efforts. Unopened bags of pet food can be dropped off at the Louisiana SPCA's Plaquemines Parish Campus. If you can't physically bring a donation, please feel free to make your donation here and those funds can be used to do things like help buy pet food and litter.
