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 Proudly Joins BISSELL Pet Foundation to Bring Holiday Hope Adoption Event!
We are excited to launch our December “Empty the Shelter™ event with a reduced-fee adoption of $25.00 per animal. This event starts Sunday Dec. 1 through Tuesday December 17, 2024.
We are so thankful for including WFAHS in this event! Particularly @CathyBissell and #BissellPetFoundation and all our future family members who adopted during this event!
WFAHS and BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is bringing holiday hope to homeless pets by prompting a national call for adoption with its Empty the Shelters. To help deserving shelter pets find loving homes, BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsors reduced adoption fees of $25 or less per cat or dog during each nationwide event.
