All animals impounded at our shelter have a hold period of 3 days (no signs of ownership) or 6 days (signs of ownership). During this time, we are tirelessly seeking positive outcomes for these animals, and if determined to be adoptable, they may be adopted, placed in foster care, or transferred out to a rescue organization.

It is essential that we locate the owner as soon as possible, and they come to reclaim their animal within the timeframe specified by ordinance. We cannot promise the animal will still be in our care after the expired hold period.

Please note that many of the animals that end up at our shelter have been abandoned, neglected, abused, lost, stolen, found loose, or injured. Their photos may reflect these conditions. In accordance with the standards of care mandated by state law and in addition to standard vaccination and deworming protocols, we do provide minor medical care (including examination by a veterinarian if deemed necessary) for the animals in our care.

For more information on our impound procedure, fines, and daily boarding fees, follow this link to our website.

!PLEASE NOTE!

Our office is closed today, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day.

We will resume regular office hours on Wednesday, November 12th. Our on-call staff will respond to emergency situations ONLY 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 11/12.

If you have a nuisance situation involving a stray animal or a trap request, please call our office and leave a detailed message, we will return your call when we resume regular hours on 11/12. 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.

Thank you for your patience during this time and happy Veterans Day to all of our veterans. Thank you for your service!

Fostering: A win for the shelter, the animal, and you! Fostering with the West Baton Rouge Parish Animal Shelter can be a winning experience for all.

• 🐾 The Shelter: When you foster an animal from the shelter, you help free up space and resources for another animal.

• 🐕 The Animals: Animals in foster care have an increased chance of being adopted. Foster care helps prepare foster pets for adoption by helping them to learn to live in a home environment, socializing them with people and animals, and helping them to adapt to new experiences.

• 🏠 You: Fostering can be a very rewarding experience, and it is fulfilling to know that you played an important role in helping to move your foster pet to their forever home!

When fostering an animal with the West Baton Rouge Parish Animal Shelter, you provide the home, and we provide extensive resources to ensure your fostering journey is a success!

Call us at (225) 336-2428 or email [email protected] if you are interested or want to learn more!
