Avoyelles Animal Welfare Society

No-Kill Animal Shelter

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals of Avoyelles Parish through abuse/neglect prevention, overpopulation, rescue and providing nurturing forever homes for them to live out the remainder of their lives.

Hours of operation:
Every day of the week from 8:30 AM - 12 PM except on Wednesday. We are closed to the public on Wednesdays due to vet trips.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO DROP AN ANIMAL OFF (ANIMAL ABANDONMENT). We have security camera installed, and will press charges against anyone whom abandons an animal at our facility.
