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.
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!
BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization and WFAHS is participating in a huge adoption event: Empty the Shelters for a reduced-fee of $50/ per animal adoption event July 8-31.
WFAHS is participating along with more than 390 shelters in 44 states. To help deserving shelter pets find loving homes, #BissellPetFoundation are sponsors of the reduced adoption fees of $50 for cats or dogs during this event.
Our thanks to #CathyBissell for including our shelter in the network dedicated to ending pet homelessness, and prompting a national call for adoption once again.
