Meet our newest adoptable, Bane! Bane was found roaming Chef Highway eating trash. He is a handsome Weimaraner /Pitbull baby weighing 65lbs. Bane is great with other dogs and has a very calm disposition given his age. We estimate him to around 11-12 months as he is VERY much still a baby. He loves to snuggle, eat, and nap all day. He enjoys watching his foster mom do her makeup and loves an occasional blush application. 💄 💅 He’s a gentle giant and absolutely stunning. Help us spread the word! He deserves a great family. Anyone would be lucky to have a dog like this. He’s very special

Meet Piglet! She is a pitbull estimated to be between 2-3 years old. Very calm and sweet. Piggy is great with other dogs and cats, potty trained, kennel trained, and a big couch potato! She’s getting spayed this week and going through heartworm treatment. She would make a great addition to your family! Consider adopting or fostering this angel. She’s amazing

Have you ever heard the phrase,

"You're breeding them faster than we can rescue them?"

Some days in animal welfare it seems so defeating because there is no end in sight. We struggle with burn out. We struggle to get up and do the exact same thing over and over everyday. We try to tell ourselves we can't save the world, but for that one animal we can give them the world. The new over-bred breed is becoming German Shepherds.

They used to be rare in shelters and now there are 5-10 per week coming in and sometimes strange mixes of them from someone trying to make some new designer dog or our favorite excuse, the "accidental" litter.

We have heard all the excuses of why people don't want to spay and neuter their pets. "My religious beliefs because God wouldn't want me to change their body," or "It's not fair to take away their birthing rights!" Really? That's the excuse?

But it's fair to over-breed them and make someone else clean up your mess with humane euthanasia. Of course that's not what any of us in animal welfare want to do but when you're breeding them faster than we can rescue them, there aren't many other alternatives.

Then there are the owners that say "We're going to breed them one time," but that one time can be a litter of 13 puppies. Then the food bills add up and you can't afford them and you have no choice but to dump them because you can't find homes for them.

How people even dump them with no concern blows our mind. How can you not care if they get killed, used as bait or abused? How do those people sleep at night? Or what about the first time mothers who eat their babies or even smother them?

At first we were finding rescues easily to save them. Now all the rescues are full and adoptions are slower because it's the summer and vacations are happening. We also don't want to mention "that season" we're in as of 6 days ago.

So while you think you're breeding some marvelous dog and all your friends and family are going to want one, just don't. The shelters are crowded, the rescues are full and the foster homes just aren't there.

We just googled "German Shepherd Puppies Rescued in Shelter" and changed it to "News" and the articles are endless.

So before you give some excuse as to why you're breeding them or didn't know how soon they can get pregnant, there is the internet for all of us to use and Google reproduction cycle of a dog.

We have always offered Free Spay/Neuter for Pit Bulls on our Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program. To see if anyone takes us up on the offer, we will do FREE Spay/Neuter on German Shepherds owned by residents of Jefferson Parish.

Follow the instructions on our website how to get a voucher to cover that co-pay. https://www.jeffersonspca.org/fix-a-pitbull-dog

We will also reach out to our clinics on our program and let them know we are making this limited time offer so they are aware. Low Cost Animal Medical Center, we know has some space in their surgery schedule.

And before you make some other excuse of why you can't drive to Orleans, our Programs Director drove 6 German Shepherd Dogs to the clinic this morning in 28 minutes from the very deep end of Kenner by using the Earhart Expressway. There is less traffic in the summer while school is out so take advantage of this opportunity.
