About us

     Our ultimate mission is to help save dogs in and around the state of Louisiana. We save dogs from high kill shelters and some owner surrenders. Our goal includes making sure our dogs are properly cared for and have the best future possible. This includes getting the pups in our care proper vetting including heart worm treatment, emergency medical care, proper vaccines, and so much more. It also includes spay/neuter to help prevent any litters or addition to overpopulation- in both our adopted pups and some community outreach to help spay/neuter for some who can’t afford it. We also microchip all of our pups to make sure none of our adopted pups ever end up contributing to shelter overpopulation or being euthanized. We are currently foster based, so we can only take in dogs that we have fosters for. Understandably, most fosters are only comfortable with certain ages/breeds which restricts what we can take into our rescue. As our audience grows and we gain more fosters, we hope to expand and be able to take even more pups in.

     As we continue to grow, and are asked more and more everyday to help, we are noticing the need for a base of operations more than ever before. The goal for our future is to have a luxury shelter facility and community vet clinic. Our vet clinic would not only setup our pups for success and reduce our vetting costs and adoption fees- but it would also operate for fosters, adopters, and more to help others in our community. The clinic would help fund the rescue and keep us afloat since donations and adoption fees alone wouldn’t be able to. Cajun Tails Rescue hopes to have a place to call home by 2023. A place where we can save countless lives and house dogs until they’re adopted. We are a no-kill rescue and would continue to operate as such with a facility. We hope to be able to build a facility that is not only ideal for optimizing lives saved, but also optimizing the quality of life of those in our care. This includes basing our building off of a minimal stress/sound layout with individual “rooms” instead of runs/kennels to reduce barking, noise, stress, and any “shelter aggression” caused from stressed out dogs. By the end of 2021, we hope to have sponsorship/donation plans laid out for potential donors to work towards our goal of opening our facility as soon as possible.
