January 2025 Winter Storm

January 21, 2025

Information

Both campuses will remain closed to the public until Wednesday, January 22nd. We will provide updates on additional campus closures as we continue to monitor the winter storm.

If you have an emergency foster in your care, thank you so much for your help!

Snow can be a rare treat in Louisiana, and we at the LASPCA want you and your pet to enjoy it safely with these cold weather tips.

If your pet is suffering from any of the key symptoms below after being out in the cold, please contact your local veterinary office for help as they could be suffering from pet hyperthermia or frostbite.

The stray hold period for Orleans Parish has been extended by two days in observance of the MLK Day Holiday and Tuesday’s weather closure. We will continue to extend the stray period every day until our public reopening.   

If you have lost your pet or found a lost pet, file a Lost & Found pet report or call your local shelter immediately, especially if your pet isn’t microchipped! Post lost/found pet ads on sites like Nextdoor, Craigslist and lost pet groups on Facebook to keep safe during road closures. 

If you believe an animal is in need of emergency medical attention due to distress from cold weather, Call 9-1-1 immediately.
