Ruston Animal Control
Our Mission
The Animal Control Department supports the humane treatment of animals inside the Ruston city limits, through the operation of the Ruston Animal Shelter, educational programs, and enforcement of City and State laws.
Adoption Policy
All adoptions are first come, first served at the shelter. Please contact us if these hours do not work for you or if you are interested in taking an adoptable pet out for the day or weekend to test compatibility!
Dog adoption fee: $150
Cat adoption fee: $120
All dogs and cats come with a microchip. Those over 4 months old will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated for rabies prior to adoption. We will coordinate with you for any pets adopted before turning 4 months old to come back to the shelter to get spayed/neutered and receive their rabies vaccine free of charge after turning 4 months old.
For questions please contact us at (318) 251-8685, AnimalControl@RustonLA.gov, or through Facebook @rustonanimalcontrol
