About Washington Parish Animal Shelter
Is to promote the humane treatment of people and animals through education, advocacy and services. Taking homeless animals off the street is not our only mission, but to help and protect the health of our community and the health of the wildlife population. With the new education Washington Parish will receive with our shelter we hope to better promote heathy practices like spay and neuter, which we are working here at the shelter to provide low cost, but also to offer classes at the schools, and throughout the community, working with volunteers, which we have already had many people of the parish come by and offer services, and to offer information and classes here at the shelter to promote good training behavior and knowledge on how to better care for your animals, and the procedures on vetting animals properly.
Animals can be one of the greatest assets to a community, and we are hoping to educate the parish and the animals on how to benefit our community. We hope to offer more services as we grow and expand.

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.
