Proud to help support our community and animal rescues in Northwest Louisiana

Our Mission is to develop, foster, and promote programs to benefit abused, neglected, and/or homeless animals.

Barkus and Meoux helps animals right here in the Shreveport – Bossier City area. Your donation helps us support local rescues with veterinary care, food, shelter, and finding new homes for abandoned animals.

With the support of community members like you we make huge differences for local animals daily!

Please consider making a small donation to help us support animals across the SBC!

Our History

Since August 1999, we've been on a mission to protect and support abused, neglected, and homeless animals. What started as a dream has grown into a thriving non-profit organization, and we're just getting started! You probably know us best for the Krewe of Barkus & Meoux Pet Parade that lights up the Mardi Gras season, but we're excited to share that we’re expanding our reach with even more charitable events year-round.

Our group is a vibrant mix of animal lovers, and we’re growing fast! We’re thrilled to welcome all our new members and deeply grateful for the unwavering support from our incredible sponsors and volunteers. Your passion fuels our vision for the future. Got a fundraising idea? We’d love to hear it! And don’t forget to spread the word—together, we can make a real difference.

Mark your calendars for the annual Krewe of Barkus & Meoux Pet Parade during Mardi Gras season—it’s going to be a blast! Bring your pets, your kids, your friends, and family, and come join the fun. If you’re interested in volunteering, we’d love to have you on board. Drop by the event or shoot us an email.

Thank you for being part of our journey—let’s keep the momentum going!
