Applicants must be Terrebonne Parish residents and are evaluated solely upon their ability to qualify based upon income and necessary expenses, therefore, verification of income and expenses is necessary.
For further information on the services offered: Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter, 131 Plant Road, Houma, 985-873-6709 or My Heart's Desire, 246 North Hollywood Road, Houma, 985-226-4693 or ask for an estimate from your veterinarian so that you will know what your portion of the cost will be.
Is your dog or cat not spayed / neutered? Does your budget not have room for this expense? HSHT has a program to assist you in obtaining this service to prevent a litter produced by your pet from becoming part of the 107 unwanted dogs and cats euthanized weekly at our local shelter.
This program issues vouchers to qualifying Terrebonne Parish residents to assist with the cost of spay/ neuter services through programs administered by our local animal shelter and My Heart's Desire or to help you reduce your cost at your local veterinarian's office.
UPCOMING EVENTS
A pet may be more expensive than you think. Be realistic about how much you can afford. Here are some ongoing costs to consider:
Do you have the time and energy to feed, clean or groom, handle, train, exercise, and take your pet to the veterinarian regularly? Are you willing to commit to your pet so that even if your lifestyle changes (marriage, divorce, new baby or job) your pet will remain part of that lifestyle?
All pets deserve to be in a loving home with people who have the time and energy to take care of them and spend time building the special bond. These are the homes we search for when placing our animals. HSHT foster pets are rescued from the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter as their time there runs out. If you'd like to adopt an unfortunate animal and give it a loving home, please complete an application. A home visit will be scheduled if your application is complete and the information meets with our policies. We do not adopt out first come but match each of our available pets to the best possible home. We will not place a pet in your home if we do not feel that it is in that pet's best interest. This is not personal but the best for the rescued animal's lifelong interest. Our placements are meant to be a lifelong commitment. HSHT reserves the right not to adopt to anyone for any reason. Adoption fees are $55 for cats and $150 for dogs which helps to cover the cost of having them veterinarian checked, heartworm / feline leukemia tested, vaccinated and spayed/neutered, all of which is done prior to adoption.
All pets in your home must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations and heartworm preventative. Your veterinarian will be contacted for a medical history. Large dogs, most medium sized dogs and some smaller dogs will require a fenced yard. Cats must be inside pets. Electric fences and shock collars are prohibited. See application and contract for other information.
