Pets for Life

In June 2017, CAA began strategic outreach in 70805 and 70802, Baton Rouge’s most under-served community where 38% of residents live below poverty. In January 2022, we have added three additional zip codes, 70807, 70815, and 70791. By bringing free animal medical care, services and information to people and their pets who live in communities that lack access to affordable veterinary care — areas that have historically been overlooked by the animal welfare field - CAA’s Pets for Life removes barriers to resources for those facing socio-economic and geographic challenges. The program philosophy promotes the understanding that a lack of financial means does not equate to a lack of love felt for and provided to a pet. For additional information, please contact Paula Shaw, Program Director, at petsforlifebr@caabr.org.

Since 2017, Pets for Life has spay/neutered 1,022 pets, provided 3,901 veterinary services and medications and given 1,113 supplies. The program has served 1,167 people and 2,279 pets.
