Our standard adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and completion of our Poochie Good Citizen Program. Adoption fees vary, but service dogs are placed with qualified adopters at no cost.
While our main focus is on dogs, we also rescue cats and occasionally other animals in need within Northeast Louisiana.
