We are the Natchitoches Humane Society, founded in 1972, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. We rescue abandoned, neglected and abused animals and provide medical treatment, spaying and neutering, socialization, training and love while they are waiting to be placed in their forever home. Our rescue facility is housed on the grounds of the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center, and the dogs housed on-site are cared for by inmates selected specifically for this job. They have play yards, and a large area where they are walked and given basic obedience training by the inmate(s) caring for them. We have a sick room, as well as a bathing area, and two quarantine kennels. We do not house cats at the facility, but do provide rescue for cats through fosters. In an attempt to reduce the number of unwanted pets, we provide assistance to low-income residents through our Spay Natchitoches program. It is our goal to reduce the population of unwanted animals in Natchitoches Parish through adoption, as well as through spaying and neutering. It is our hope that our parish will become the example of what can be done when people work together to achieve the goal of a better life for the animals that live here.
Anyone interested in adopting a pet from the Natchitoches Humane Society must complete an adoption application. The adoption fee for dogs or puppies are $125.00. Cats are handled on a case by case basis as we have no facility to house them and they are kept strictly in foster homes. We do our best to process applications in a timely manner, however checking the application may require a visit to the property or a letter from your vet. This will be at the discretion of the Natchitoches Humane Society. Due to this fact, we encourage anyone considering adoption to get pre-approved by filling out the questionnaire, so when you find "the" pet, you will be ready! After the adoption application has been checked and approved, arrangements can be made to come get your new pet. At the time of adoption, you will be required to sign the adoption contract. If you have any additional questions regarding adoption, please email us at natchitocheshumane@yahoo.com.

We are a foster and adoption organization for the homeless, abandoned and neglected dogs within the Natchitoches community. We work together in finding them caring homes...one paw print at a time. In the absence of a parish wide shelter, fostering animals becomes a critical component of a community rescue organization. Our Focus: Rescue, Adoption, Fostering, Education.
