You can do that by either shopping at their store on either 839 Spain Street in the Marigny, or 513 Dumaine in the French Quarter. Even easier, you can also donate on their either their Square page here, or their Facebook page, Big Easy Animal Rescue (BEAR), which is honestly the cutest little acronym in the world.
