Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for the people and pets in our community through education, outreach, code enforcement, disease prevention, adoptions, and rescue/transports. As an Animal Control department, we are tasked with enforcing all parish and municipal ordinances concerning the keeping of animals within West Baton Rouge Parish, impounding any animals being kept in violation o

f those ordinances, and investigating animal cruelty complaints. As a shelter, we are tasked with doing everything we can to find positive outcomes for the neglected, unclaimed, and abandoned animals in our care.

It is our sincere hope to build a trustworthy relationship with the members of our community. We strive to educate as many community members as possible on basic pet care and the importance of spay/neuter, in addition to the ordinances of this parish. We aim to provide comfort and basic medical care for the animals in our possession to the best of our ability. We ensure each animal that is adopted out through our shelter is either spayed or neutered, up to date on basic vaccinations, and has a microchip.

All animals have a 3 to 6-day hold at WBRPSAC depending on signs of ownership. We are tirelessly looking for positive outcomes for these animals and if determined to be adoptable, they could be adopted, put into foster care, or transferred out.

It is important that we find the owner as soon as possible and they come to reclaim their animal within the time frame allotted by ordinance. We cannot promise the animal will still be in our care after the expired hold period.

!Please Note!
Our office will be closed at 10:30 am on Thursday, July 3rd, and all day on Friday, July 4th, in observance of the Independence Day Holiday. Our on-call staff will only respond to emergency situations during this time.

Emergency situations include animal bite cases, animal lives in danger, and/or an immediate threat to public safety involving an animal. Situations involving non-threatening stray animals will be dealt with when we return to regular operations on Monday, July 7th.

If you have a nuisance situation involving a stray animal or a trap request, please call our office and leave a detailed message. If you have a true emergency situation involving an animal, please dial 911 or contact your local law enforcement, and they will, in turn, dispatch an on-call animal control officer.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July, everyone. To ensure your pet has one as well, please check out some of these handy tips!

🐾 Meet our little underdog heartthrob! 🐾

This soulful-eyed pup might come off a bit shy at first, but give him a friendly dog buddy and he blossoms into his goofy, affectionate self. He lives for dog friends and truly thrives in their company.

✅ Crate trained (zero accidents!)
✅ Potty training champ
✅ Car ride approved
✅ Knows “sit” and learning leash manners
✅ Food motivated and silly-smart
✅ Plays independently but always happy to cuddle

Pinto has a malformed skull and a slightly crooked jaw that makes him look extra endearing (don’t worry, our veterinarian said he is perfectly healthy). He’s a little vocal, a little handsy, and a whole lot of sweet.

He’s gentle, smart, and just needs a home that can offer patience, playtime, and a furry sibling to bring out his best self. 💚

Our Story

West Baton Rouge Parish Shelter and Animal Control is a municipal shelter that was built in 1985. Our shelter aims to find positive outcomes for each animal in our care. We do this through community outreach, social media outreach, and networking with rescues and adopters across the country.

We hope our relationship with the members of our community continues to progress. We strive to educate as many community members as possible on basic pet care and the importance of spay/neuter, in addition to the ordinances of this parish.

We aim to provide comfort and basic medical care for the animals in our possession to the best of our ability. We ensure each animal that is adopted out through our shelter is either spayed or neutered, up to date on basic vaccinations, and has a microchip.

We value and appreciate those that volunteer their time and efforts to help us achieve these goals.
