My mom's dog was attacked by 2 dogs who have been wondering the streets the last 3 months at least. 2 dogs have been killed and 3 others have been injured! They caught the dogs thanks to us. But now have giving them back to the owners and said theirs nothing they can do and definitely wouldn't make them put their dogs down no matter how many Peeples pets die! Smh

Do yall have small puppies for adoption ? If so, what breeds?

Denise Montet | Sep 30, 2020
LJ Robinson | Sep 30, 2020

I was there before Christmas, and they had puppies. I'm sure the breeds available for adoption changes as they are dropped off and adopted. It's not a pet store, it's an animal shelter.

We have several homeless cats with fleas coming in our yard everyday. I feed wildbirds in my back yard and the cats are trying to kill them. I doubt if they have had shots. They don't have a collar. I have seen about 5 or 6 homeless cats around my house.

Does this animal shelter pick up stray cats in the neighborhood?

Debbie Pope | Sep 30, 2020
Debbie Pope | Sep 30, 2020

There's so many stray cats around the house with fleas in the yard and in the house. There's no sense in having the yard treated when the cat's are in the yard 24-7. I have also seen a man on a bycicle at night feeding the cats. The city of Westwego has a ban on feeding stray cats. Please bring a trap and get rid of the cat's. They are trying to kill wildbirds in my back yard that I'm feeding. They are a nuisance.

Can I go and pick out a dog and put him on hold for another week???

Christina Perkins | Oct 1, 2019
Brittany Lyles | Oct 1, 2019

You can come in and put an application in on a pet. If your application is the first one, you'll get called first, but if someone else puts in an application and you don't stay in touch to let them know you're coming to get it, they will move on to the next application. So if you're interested in taking home a new pet but maybe your home isn't ready or something, just let them know.

You have to bring the cats in a trap. I think they will lend you one. They have a list of vets that will fix them for free. If you have a pet cat those Vets will fix for $15 if you show you live in Jefferson Parish.

Do you have any shih Tzu puppies I'm looking to by another one

Kim Lester | Oct 1, 2018
Val Thomassie | Oct 1, 2019

you do not buy pets from the shelter. you adopt and the animal will have all shots, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm checked and fecal done. the adoption fee may still be $67.00. puppies go fast. you may also be able to contact a Shih Tzu rescue but the price you pay would be the full price for all the vetting. but still less than if you bought a pup from a breeder and had all the vetting done yourself. I just had a small dog spayed with pain meds, all the shots, blood check, fecal check, ear cleaning with meds, and microchipped with (lifetime register) and it cost me over $500.00. (it was a high-end vet but the dog was also very fearful) but it still would have been cheaper to turn it into the shelter, let them vet it and then adopt it.

Can any one just go look at the dog if not getting one just yet

Kim Lester | Oct 1, 2018
Val Thomassie | Oct 1, 2019

yes, always better to check out dogs before making a decision. if there are enough volunteers there when you go it would be easier. sometimes there are not enough volunteers and if the kennel staff are busy the front desk may be busy too and you would have to wait until a volunteer or kennel staff can shake loose to go back there with you. they have been dealing with the dogs and you can ask them questions about the dogs you want to look at.

Melissa Correnti | Oct 1, 2018
Val Thomassie | Oct 1, 2019

there is the Jefferson Parish animal shelter on Lapalco in Harvey or the east bank shelter which is on #1 Humane way in Harahan/Metairie which are both open intake shelters, and if they are overfull there is no guarantee that the dog would be put up for adoption. the SPCA which is the Louisiana SPCA is in New Orleans. any of the shelters can give you information on how to move and take your pet with you.

Is this a kill shelter

Kelly Singleton | Oct 1, 2018
Val Thomassie | Oct 1, 2019

it is an open intake shelter. that means that it has to accept any pet that is brought in no matter how full they are. not like some of the no-kill shelters that can say they are full and tell you, you have to wait until they have an open kennel. the Jefferson Parish shelters will hold a pet as long as possible and they work closely with fosters and rescues but as long as people are letting their pets reproduce they will remain full and so will the rescues which is hard on the animals and hard on the shelter workers. they would love to be no kill.
