Did you know that New Orleans has an animal overpopulation problem? While shelters in our region are overflowing with homeless animals, some shelters further north are practically empty.
Overpopulation itself is not easy to fix, but one part of the puzzle is simple: move the animals from here to there.
The Louisiana SPCA has run a transportation program since 2010. Every year we load nearly 1,000 animals into a special transport trailer and send them to reputable shelters that are ready and willing to put them up for adoption. Since the program began, nearly 3,000 animals have traveled to other, less crowded shelters across the country.
