The adoption fees at the St. John Parish Animal Shelter are $100.00. The fees pay for Spay/Neuter, rabies and basic vaccinations, heartworm check and micro-chipping. The vaccinations and spay/neuter are required by the state prior to the release of any animal from a shelter. Note: There is additional $25 fee if the animal is in heat or the puppy has undescended testicles. Required additional medicationsare also extra. The micro-chipping will make sure the owner is in compliance with state law for identification required on an animal. Tags and tattoos also bring the animal in compliance, but tags can be lost, removed, or stolen and tattoos have higher health risks. Note that micro-chipping does not remove the requirement that rabies tags be attached to a collar on the animal.
The Shelter is now offering micro-chipping to the public for a charge of $15, which includes registration. The micro-chipping will be available at the shelter between the hours of 1 P.M. and 4 P.M. Tuesday through Saturday, with the exception of holidays.
STATE LAW RS 3:2472 STERILIZATION REQUIRED A Provision providing for the sterilization of all dogs and cats released for adoption or purchased from any public or private animal shelter or animal control agency operated by a humane society, parish, city, or other political division by providing sterilization by a licensed veterinarian before relinquishing custody of the animal.
As our dogs live at our shelter , they would love to have you come and spend some time playing with them. Bring them a treat or a new toy, take them for a walk, maybe even give a belly rug or two. Most are very friendly and would love to just get tired from playing with you. Some have not been socialized and some have suffered abuse or neglect. With just a couple hours a week you can help them realize they aren't going to be hurt anymore and it's okay to be a happy, silly, playful dog.
