📅 Mark your calendars! Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services has invited our shelter to participate in a Volleyball Tournament on July 12. This event will be HUGE and FAMILY friendly 👩‍👧‍👦

Sorry in advance if our response time is slow- our ACO's have been practicing their spikes 😂 Our first opponent is Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter ....they should be "TERRE-fied" cause this Lafayette crew is coming in HOT 🔥

Ferdinand doesn’t just wag his tail – he throws his whole b***y into it. He greets you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him, every single time. He’s got a heart as big as his appetite and he's ready to love you harder than anyone else in your life (including your mom).

After being here longer than anyone else, all Ferd wants is a cozy spot on your couch, a few snacks (fine, all the snacks), and a family that laughs at his goofy charm.

🎯 Help us end his Longest Stay Legend status and make him the king of your couch instead.

📍Available now – he’s already practicing his happy dance for the day he meets you.
💌 We're open TODAY from 12-2pm

We were recently called out for a pack of FOUR loose dogs roaming a neighborhood. Luckily- all four dogs were friendly so our Animal Control Officer loaded up the crew and brought them to the shelter

3 of 4 dogs were adopted, but Dallas had a minor medical condition. His eyelids "rolled inwards"- a condition called Entropion. Our AWESOME vet easily performed corrective surgery and Dallas is recovering like a champ 🏆💙

At 7 months old- Dallas has a bright future ahead with the right family. It's been said that "Shelter pets love harder"................Dallas is ready to prove it to you 😍
