Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter's adoption process

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
The animal can be found on-line or on social media. In person visit isn't the only way to find the pet.

Submit Application
An interview/open conversation happens at the time of application (if in person) or over the phone when calls are made for apps submitted.
3.
Meet the Pet
Meet and greets are done the same day if the visit is in person.
4.
Sign Adoption Contract
If nothing in the conversation or history precludes the applicant from adopting, the adoption contract is drawn and signed and the fee paid
5.
Take the Pet Home
If the pet has been spayed/neutered already, the pet can leave the same day with approved applicant.

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.
