Our Wish List

  • At Zoo - Zoom we believe one of the keys to our success now and in the future is education, education & more education! The more people we can talk out of getting inappropriate pets/animals, the fewer that will end up on our doorstep or the doorstep of other shelters. And it's not just exotic animals. Just as some animals don't make good pets, some people don't make good owners (for MANY reasons). We just try to help them identify which category they fall into. A lot of animals suffer a tremendous amount due to simple ignorance. And many of these people are well-intentioned animal lovers that just get in over their heads! Although we hear and see a lot of yucky stuff, we try not to judge.

 

  • Our wish lists are similar to the wish lists of all shelters. Anything donated to Zoo - Zoom that cannot be used will be donated to another shelter. If you don't help out Zoo - Zoom, then please help out another shelter. The animals are counting on you.

 

  • To donate items, please call us first at 337-845-5124. Arrangements will be made to either pick up the item(s) or have them dropped off at our animal facility in Breaux Bridge.
