Rescuing, re-homing, and saving dogs in the Baton Rouge Area since 2010.
Can you find the queen of hearts?
Did you know the majority of dogs we rescue are suffering from heart worms? Dogs that are adopted from FOTA are put through heart worm treatment at our expense. As you can imagine, this is an astounding ongoing cost.
That's why this year we are doing our first Queen of the Hearts raffle! It's a great chance for you to donate to a wonderful cause and also win something for yourself! If you're feeling lucky, click the link below to read the rules and then get your tickets by either stopping by the Adoption House or making the donation through Venmo with a note saying the donation is for the raffle!
And our winner is...
Congratulations to Zeke - King of Strolling with the Strays 2025!
Who We Are at Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge
Our Mission
Our mission is to rescue, re-home, or otherwise save as many dogs and puppies as possible from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Our goal is to treat every heartworm-positive dog that is adopted at the Dog Adoption House.
What We Do
Since starting in 2010, FOTA has found forever homes for more than 7500 animals from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Area shelters and FASS (Friends of the Animals Alternative to Shelter Surrender) program.
Adoptable Animals
We have a wide variety of adoptable dogs and puppies available at the Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge Dog Adoption House. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped.
