Make a Life-Changing Impact — One Wag, One Woof, One Volunteer at a Time
FAUNA is always seeking compassionate volunteers to help us build a low-/no-kill Natchitoches Parish. With your support, we can rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pets—and bring hope to their forever families.
Opportunities to Get Involved
Here are just a few ways you can help:
- Bath Days at Tractor Supply – help us clean and prep animals for adoption.
- Adoption Events – assist with tables at the Farmer’s Market, pet parades, and community days.
- Fundraiser Support – help host events like Cane’s Fundraising Days and community drives.
- Transport & Temporary Fostering – assist with animal transports across the state or open your home temporarily for pets in need.
Why Your Time Matters
These aren’t just tasks—they’re acts of love. Each bath, outing, and transport:
- Gives animals confidence and socialization
- Expands our network of loving foster homes
- Supports our volunteers, staff, and financial mission
