About John Cotton Memorial Animal Shelter
Mission Statement
The John Cotton Memorial Animal Shelter’s mission is to provide compassionate short and medium term care to lost pets and adoptable stray animals. Our three main principles are:
1.The City of Louisiana is pet friendly, every lost companion animal that comes under it's care deserves to be reunited with its family.
2.Every stray or abandoned companion animal that comes under it's care deserves a decent, honest chance at being adopted into a loving family or placed with a state licensed rescue organization, or other regional partner for the purpose placement in an owner home.
3.JCMAS is a 'Near Zero' Kill shelter. As long as public donations cover daily operating expenses, euthanasia will be a last resort used only when an animal is not adoptable for reasons of public safety, or has an incredibly severe injury and is suffering.

Find a pet to adopt
Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Louisiana, MO.
Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
