RESPONSE TO MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOODING

Great time to help support LA/SPCA!


The Morganza Spillway has been opened and the communities within the Atchafalya Basin are expected to flood. The LA/SPCA has reached out to affected parishes. We will transport 60 dogs and cats to Texas for gauranteed adoption. This will allow the LA/SPCA Animal Rescue and Care Center to accept animals from the affected areas.

A message from Wildlife and Fisheries: Wildlife and Fisheries is asking residents who need assistance with the removal of black bears forced into populated areas by floodwaters to call 800.442.2511, and to contact their local field office to report the location of any stranded wildlife – see phone numbers in this link:http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wildlife-field-offices-and-telephone-numbers
