The Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter announced this week that they have officially reached 100% kennel capacity for local homeless dogs.
“Our shelter is at max capacity, and we are in desperate need for people to adopt and foster,” reads a statement from the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter.
Adoptions are currently completely free from now until October 31, 2024, so if you are considering adopting your new best friend, now is a great time to do it. The Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter is open for adoptions Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM, and Saturdays from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM at 100 Government Street in Gray.
Your new pet will come with a brief health exam, age/species-appropriate testing, first set of vaccinations, dewormer, microchip, heart worm preventative doze, flea prevention, spaying/neutering, and a starter bag of Science Diet pet food– and of course, a lifetime of love! Begin the adoption process here, and remember, all fees are currently waived.
If you or your family are not ready for the responsibility of adoption, the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter urges community members to consider fostering a pet. In foster homes, whether short or long term, animals benefit from the socialization and in-home living experience, and become much more adoptable. Foster families also give these animals a well-deserved break from the shelter and free up kennel space. Learn more about fostering here.
