We are celebrating 3 adoptions today!

Ever wonder where shelter pets get their names? Sometimes, it’s really simple! #1 “Survivor” This baby was the sole survivor from her litter!

Thank you for showing up and adopting!

These are some outakes from some of the most recent dogs at the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter.
