We also conduct a low-cost Rabies Clinic bi-annually for the community and have participated in providing shelter and care for animals evacuated during hurricanes beginning with Katrina in 2005.

It's the first of the month! You know what that means? It's time to give your dogs and cats their monthly heartworm preventative! Both indoor and outdoor pets should be treated year round. Did you forget last month's pill? See your vet for a screening test. A late dose can put your pet at risk.

Kingston is now also visually compromised due to being so sick. His brother is his eyes. This morning we came into the shelter and found Kevin, almost lifeless in his kennel. He has been rushed to the vet. Please help save this boy. His brother needs him to survive.

HAND IN PAW

In 2006, Steve and Phyllis Whatley recognized the needs of the homeless animals of Bossier Parish. They had been volunteers at Bossier City Animal Control for a few years and saw how the small shelter struggled to meet the needs of the animals received. This was their impetus in founding our organization, Bossier City Animal Control Volunteers โ€“ Hand in Paw. They created this nonprofit 501 (c) (3) to provide vet care for shelter animals. It is important to note that our legal name is: Hand In Paw-Friends of Bossier City Animal Control; all IRS, legal receipts, and anything else of a legal nature will have this name. Hand in Paw (HIP) has shifted its mission as necessary in the ever-changing world of animal rescue. However, one thing has been a constant, and that is providing vetting for animals in need. We have been very fortunate in our ability to work with local vets to provide emergency as well as routine care for animals. As funds allow, HIP has also helped pet owners with emergency vet needs on a case by case basis.

Besides vetting of shelter animals, HIP is dedicated to promoting spay and neuter policies. We donate to Bossier Cityโ€™s spay/neuter fund, helping to spay shelter animals or provide the vouchers to adopters. We also pay for local vets to spay and neuter animals. We recently have coordinated some efforts in the Trap Neuter Release (TNR); this has resulted in training volunteers to be more knowledgeable in helping the public humanely trap animals lowering the number of unwanted feral and stray animals on the streets.

Another constant in our 12 years of existence has been the manning of the Saturday adoptions, at BCAC and PetSmart, as well as other offsite events. We host fundraisers at different local restaurants, participate in the Barkus and Meoux parade, Margaritaville pet events, as well as other venues. These volunteer events are responsible for the adoption of thousands of animals each year.
