NEW SATURDAY ADOPTION HOURS IN 2007

The East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control Center will be open for adoptions only, on the the first and last Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The Animal Control Center will also perform mid-month, Saturday remote adoptions, at select locations, using the mobile adoption trailer. The shelter is located at 2680 Progress Road on the Baton Rouge Metro-Airport property.

Regular hours of business remain from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

  Adoption Policy and Costs

  Responsible Pet Ownership

  We are listing animals for Adoption at a third-party
service called Petfinders.Org (On their site, select type of animal from the left-hand column of options.)

Disclaimer:  The East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control Center has plenty of good animals for adoption.  As animals get adopted, others take their place.  Not all animals entering the shelter are suitable for adoption however.

Breeds and individual animals change everyday – far too quickly to stay absolutely current.  Please be patient and understand that a pet may be reclaimed or adopted, and may not be available before you arrive at the shelter.  It might also have a change in temperament or become sick during its stay at the shelter, thus making it unavailable.

********* NOTE *********

The Animal Control Center has a new digital camera. Please look for updated website pictures of adoptable pets approximately every two weeks. We rely on volunteers to keep our website photos updated. To volunteer, call 774-7700.

The Animal Control Center would gratefully welcome the donation of a good digital camera of the sort that uses 3.5-inch diskettes. If you are buying your family a new digital camera for Christmas, we could make good use of your old one, and the donation is tax-deductible.

Please feel free to phone to inquire about pets currently available for adoption. We always have a wide selection of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in need of good homes.
