Calcasieu Parish Animal
Control and the American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty of Animals (ASPCA) will observe October
as Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month. While millions
of dogs are adopted each year, millions
more are still awaiting their permanent homes.
Meeting your match is as
easy as one, two, three.
1) Hold a family meeting
to discuss everyone's canine expectations.
2) Read up on breed
types that catch your interest.
3) Go to the shelter and
meet your match!
Each unique dog is
$90.00 (which includes neuter/spay surgery,
heartworm check, micro chipping, worming and rabies
vaccinations) and comes with his/her
own bag of treats.
Adoption counselors will
be happy to play matchmaker. Their hands-on
knowledge of the canine adoption candidates is
invaluable to ensuring adopters find a dog that fits
just right.
Contact Anne Godeaux or
an adoption counselor at 439-8879 or visit them at
the Calcasieu Parish Animal Shelter on 5500 A Swift
Plant Road between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 6:00
p.m. Monday - Friday.
