We’re just a few of the adoptable animals at St. John Baptist Parish Shelter...but our time here is very limited. Please rescue us!

LAPLACE, LOUISIANA - ST. JOHN BAPTIST PARISH ANIMAL SHELTER:

LOCATION: Laplace, Louisiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans off Interstate 10 on the River Road. This is right outside New Orleans -- an area inundated with people who evacuated or moved permanently to St. John Parish after Katrina. There is definitely a housing shortage for people who have pets. Plus, FEMA trailers are being picked up due to formaldehyde poisoning and FEMA does NOT supply temporary housing for pets.

Both situations have resulted in an inordinate amount of surrenders...70% more than pre-Katrina numbers. Before Katrina this shelter had a 4% euthanasia rate for four years running. Tomorrow 30 perfectly adoptable pets must be euthanized. Unfortunately this will continue until groups or humane societies step in and help...

CAN’T SAVE THEM ALL, BUT... HOW YOU CAN HELP:

You. Your rescue group. Your humane society or shelter... Please consider one or two dogs or cats from this shelter. Many Louisiana groups already help, but have been unable to make a dent in the overabundance of pets at this Katrina-affected shelter.

New Orleans independent rescue groups can help with transport...
