URGENT! Need fosters NOW!
Shelter is over capacity. 3217 Old Shed Road, Bossier City, La. 8-4. Just come in and say “I want to foster”. They’ll show you around. Pick one out and take them home. If you fall in love, great. If it isn’t working out, bring them back. If you can only do it for a week, fine. Just help BCAC get over this hump! PLEASE!

Currently, the shelter has a lot of terriers so you have a choice on those, but they also have a doodle, a Boston mix, a Great Dane and lots and lots of puppies!

Barbaric right? Then why do people do this to dogs? It’s one thing to have it done at a vet clinic under vet care but many times ear and tail cropping is done at home with a knife or a pair of scissors. When dogs come into the shelter with cropped ears, it’s evident that most are home crop jobs. It’s barbaric, it’s cruel and it leaves emotional scars on the dogs who fall victim to it by heartless owners. This practice must stop! 🛑

‼️ ‼️ ‼️ PLEASE READ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️
We will no longer tolerate bashing of the shelter, the staff, or the volunteers that run this page...

PSA: This page was created to network the dogs and cats at Bossier City Animal Control. It is run by volunteers. BCAC is a municipal city-run shelter. It provides shelter, food and water for some the area's most neglected and vulnerable animals. Some come into the shelter in the most horrific shape, some hit by cars, or abandoned at a home where the owners moved out, mommas and puppies found under a house, orphaned kittens and puppies, dogs and cats with years of neglect, etc. Some of the animals that are brought in are brought by their owners because they want their pet euthanized but may not have the funds to take them to a vet. Some are moving, or are pregnant or the dog is pregnant, or they just had a baby, or any number of excuses. Some come in because their owner died or went into a nursing home and there is no family to take on their beloved pet. Some come in because they were seized due to neglect. Some come in due to traffic accidents, house fires, bit someone, owner is incarcerated... OR THE STRAYS... the list is endless! The shelter staff is caring for upwards of 200 dogs and puppies at any given time and sometimes just as many cats. Each animal is assessed on intake, vaccinated (if well or old enough), dewormed, fed, watered and given a dry kennel with kuranda beds for dogs and bedding for cats and kittens. They are cared for every single day, 365 days a year, every holiday, every weekend, every single day. EACH AND EVERY ONE! Let that sink in!

This VERY busy shelter is run by caring, compassionate staff who take their jobs very seriously. We've seen them comfort a scared dog, shave years of matting off of a dog, give baths to dogs that are INFESTED with fleas, take vulnerable orphaned puppies and kittens home so they have a better chance at survival, etc. The list goes on and on. If an injured dog or cat comes in, they notify us immediately, so we can start networking that animal to rescue groups. In many cases, they take the animal to a vet via our sister page Hand In Paw - Friends of Bossier City Animal Control. Sometimes, the care comes out of the city budget... sometimes it comes out of the budget of Hand in Paw... but no animal is left suffering... ever! NOT EVER!

If more dogs and cats are coming in than are going out, the shelter has to make tough decisions. They give us plenty of notice so that we can aggressively start networking the LAST CHANCE dogs or cats. This page posts those that are available for adoption BUT in the case of LAST CHANCE animals, we post REELS and more pictures to try to get them out. This is why we have this page. They would not be seen otherwise. Every week, Ninna, with Ninna's Road to Rescue (a local rescue organization) and Megan, with Rocker's Rescue (another local rescue organization)... go to the shelter. Ninna does the dogs... and Megan does the cats. They DON'T GET PAID! They are volunteers, volunteering to do this to lift some of the burden off of the staff who already have their hands VERY FULL. We work with local transporters and rescue organizations (locally and out of the area). This page promotes every animal at the shelter on this page for adoption or to rescue. Every animal has the chance to get out, provided there is a rescue willing to pull or an adopter willing to adopt. We have a lot of followers that share our posts and we appreciate that very much.

This brings me to the reason for this post. Since the beginning, we get the handful of people who want to bash and make nasty, vile, disgusting comments on the VERY posts we make to try to save these animals. Lately, though, they seem to be coming out of the woodwork! These comments are mainly on the REELS we post. MOST all of the people making these disgusting vile comments don't even live in this area. From this point forward, we simply WILL NOT tolerate comments that bash us, the shelter or the staff at the shelter. If you have nothing nice to say... keep scrolling, unfollow us... go somewhere else and be a pest... BUT NOT ON THIS PAGE. You WILL be banned. There will be no warning. We just won't put up with it anymore NOR will we respond to it anymore.

To those of you who support us, share our posts, adopt, rescue, network or to those who can only give a round of applause to the staff who work so hard and who are the stewards for Bossier City's most vulnerable... WE THANK YOU! It takes a village... and YOU are our village.
~ Admins of Buddies of Bossier City Animal Control
(Picture for attention purposes... this puppy has gone to rescue.)

Final note: We get so many people asking where we are. It's literally in the title to our page. It's been that way since the beginning.
