West Baton Rouge Parish Shelter and Animal Control

West Baton Rouge Parish Shelter and Animal Control West Baton Rouge Parish Shelter and Animal Control is a department of West Baton Rouge Parish Council.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for the people and pets in our community through education, outreach, code enforcement, disease prevention, adoptions, and rescue/transports. As an Animal Control department, we are tasked with enforcing all parish and municipal ordinances concerning the keeping of animals within West Baton Rouge Parish, impounding any animals being kept in violation o

f those ordinances, and investigating animal cruelty complaints. As a shelter, we are tasked with doing everything we can to find positive outcomes for the neglected, unclaimed, and abandoned animals in our care. We do this through community outreach, social media outreach, volunteerism, and networking with rescues and adopters across the country. It is our sincere hope to build a trustworthy relationship with the members of our community. We strive to educate as many community members as possible on basic pet care and the importance of spay/neuter, in addition to the ordinances of this parish. We aim to provide comfort and basic medical care for the animals in our possession to the best of our ability. We ensure each animal that is adopted out through our shelter is either spayed or neutered, up to date on basic vaccinations, and has a microchip.

Dom&Tom


These two bros are a little less than a year old. They really enjoy each others company and they would make for perfect outdoor cats! These guys are great mousers and they got some street smarts. 😉

Dom and Tom previously lived outside a plant but it qu**ky became unsafe due to the wildlife in the area. We are now looking for another home for them to safely live.

Please contact today if you are interested in giving one or both brothers a home.

✨ Meet Pinto ✨

At just 3 months old and weighing in at 16 pounds, Pinto is a charming mixed-breed pup with a one-of-a-kind look and a heart full of love. He has a uniquely shaped skull—an unusual feature that doesn’t slow him down one bit. We’re not sure what caused it and our vet currently doesn't have any concerns. Pinto is full of life and curiosity just like any other puppy.

He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don’t let that fool you—he warms up quickly and has a sweet, gentle spirit that shines through.

This special pup is looking for someone who sees beauty in uniqueness and is ready to give him the loving home he deserves. Interested in meeting Pinto? Reach out to us today and come say hello to this adorable boy!

Meet HEATH 😍

This hunky, meaty, Rottweiler is all LOVE.

Heath weighs in at about 102 pounds, he appears to be very laid back and chill. He seems to get along well with others and is a great listener. Heath came in with a hematoma in his ear which has since been repaired and is on the mend thanks to our fabulous local clinic, The Spay Spa!

If you are interested in bringing home this meatlug please contact us today!!!

Our Story

West Baton Rouge Parish Shelter and Animal Control is a municipal shelter that was built in 1985. Our shelter aims to find positive outcomes for each animal in our care. We do this through community outreach, social media outreach, and networking with rescues and adopters across the country.

We hope our relationship with the members of our community continues to progress. We strive to educate as many community members as possible on basic pet care and the importance of spay/neuter, in addition to the ordinances of this parish.

We aim to provide comfort and basic medical care for the animals in our possession to the best of our ability. We ensure each animal that is adopted out through our shelter is either spayed or neutered, up to date on basic vaccinations, and has a microchip.

We value and appreciate those that volunteer their time and efforts to help us achieve these goals.
