OUR MISSION
Our Mission at WFAHS is to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment for the animals under our care as we search for their original owners or a caring adoptive home. Our mission is also to help reduce the pet population in our parish.
Who we are
Our animal shelter was founded in August 2012. A community member and animal lover, James "Bo" Bryant left a legacy when he donated the funds to begin the construction of our shelter. Before 2012, animal control was operated with a few holding kennels behind the parish jail. Now, we are able to operate a full-time animal shelter thanks to Mr. Bryant's generosity and love of animals. Our parish has moved from saving less than 10% of the parish's stray population, to now saving more than 95% of the stray population per year!

WFAHS will participate Oct. 1-15, offering WAIVED fees for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens from October 1-6 and $25.00 adoption fees from October 7-15.
Hours of operation are 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
All interested adopters can find more details online at www.wfahs.org and our Facebook page
“WFAHS is grateful and excited to be included in this meaningful effort to help overcrowded shelters, such as ours, find homes for the cats and dogs in their care. The ability to reduce adoption fees not only enhances our chances of finding our current charges homes but also affords us an opportunity to tend to the ever-growing numbers of homeless and neglected animals in our parish more readily than we can with our current census numbers, which are at an all-time high. On behalf of WFAHS, we humbly thank #CathyBissell and The #BissellPetFoundation for allowing us to partake in this event.”
