"Bark in the Dark" benefiting Acadiana Animal Aid
An evening of high-stakes FUNdraising!

Bet on black. Bet on red. Always bet on life!
Our lifesaving work is made possible by the support of our community. In 2024, we rescued, medically treated, and found loving homes for 1,781 cats and dogs. We also performed nearly 1,500 spay/neuter surgeries and are on track to conduct the same number this year, plus an additional 1,500 surgeries for animals in municipal shelters across Acadiana.
Join us as a guest or event sponsor and make a direct impact on the number of shelter pets saved this year in Lafayette Parish and beyond. For more information, please contact us.please contact krista@acadianaanimalaid.org

Join Acadiana Animal Aid on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Lafayette for an evening of high-stakes fun and philanthropy focused on saving the lives of cats and dogs across Acadiana and Louisiana.
The Bark in the Dark "House of Spays...and Neuters" gala features casino-style gaming, dinner, on-the-house wine & beer w/cash bar well drinks, door prizes, lively music, a silent auction, and an exhilarating live auction. The true excitement comes from knowing your support can change the lives of Louisiana shelter pets who need us the most.
