The 19,494 square foot state-of-the-art Animal Control Facility opened in August of 2010. Animal Control is a high performance green facility with administrative office space, an adoption zone, an intake area, outdoor visiting space, quarantine quarters, staff locker rooms, a veterinary clinic and more.

ARF-LA is 501-c non-profit organization whose mission is to provide veterinary care, shelter, and adoption services for stray, abandoned, and surrendered companion animals then placed for in Lafayette Parish and the surrounding area. All animals in our care are altered (spay/neutered) and current on vaccinations. Dogs are screened for heartworm and other diseases and put on heartworm prevention. We DO NOT euthanize adoptable animals. Over the last few years we have placed more than 2,000 dogs and cats into loving homes. ARF-LA exists on donations from generous people who believe in our mission and give to us financially and otherwise so that we may continue.

We are a city ran facility, funded by the city. We are not a no kill rescue. We house the animals until our faciltiy is full. We do our best to get the animals either adopted or into a rescue. This includes sending dogs to out of state rescues.

Life Savers Animal Rescue (LSAR) consists of a dedicated and caring group of individuals working to rescue animals in urgent need. The focus of Life Savers Animal Rescue (LSAR) is animals in urgent need. Our animals have been forgotten, rejected, or abandoned for a variety of reasons and would most likely be euthanized if we did not intercede on their behalf. We believe these animals deserve a second chance at finding a lifetime guardian or caretaker to ensure they live out the rest of their lives in a caring environment.
