Do They Have Moles In South Louisiana?

Last night one of my dogs were going after something in the backyard. It had rained a little earlier so instead of going to where she was, I got the flashlight and when I pointed it in the area she went after something that went into my neighbor's yard.

Next thing I see... She is sticking her head down a hole and she was trying to get down that thing as much as possible. And then she went about a foot away from the hole and started digging, but as I kept the light on, whatever it was went away.

I was just outside talking with my neighbor, who lives on the side nearest the whole and he said it looked like it could be a rabbit hole. Either way, this is the first time I ever had something that dug a hole in my yard that wasn't my dogs.. But when I think of something coming out of the ground, I think moles, but are they around in S. Louisiana?
