Louisiana Exotic Animal Resource Network
Rescue Locally. Educate Globally.
LEARN helps people in northwest Louisiana work out what to do with a wild reptile or amphibian, and takes in surrendered exotic pets. If you need a permitted wildlife rehabilitator, the Louisiana list is at wlf.louisiana.gov. Please note that we are not a veterinary facility, which means we cannot treat animals owned by others at any time.
If you have found an injured wild reptile or amphibian, please text a photo and where you are to (318) 745-9393 and Micha will help you work out the next step. We are located in northwest Louisiana, just south of the Shreveport/Bossier City metro area.
If you are surrendering a wild animal, there is an indigenous intake form you will need to fill out. You can fill it out in person, or click here to print it out and bring it with you.
If you have a pet that needs medical attention and you cannot afford to care for it yourself, you may call and see if we are able to take it in. Again, if you have an exotic animal and you bring it to us, please be aware you will be surrendering the animal to our ownership and care. We do not treat animals belonging to others at any time.
