For unspayed female dogs, a deposit of $35.00 is required. This
deposit goes towards the veterinary bill to have the dog spayed. New owners are responsible for paying the remainder of the vet bill at the time of spaying.
New owners have thirty (30) days (unless the dog is of proper age) from the day of adoption to get the dog spayed by any local veterinarian.
Unneutered males require a $30.00 deposit and the same process applies to
the males.
For unspayed female cats, a deposit of $25.00 is required. This
deposit goes towards the veterinary bill to have the cat spayed. For unneutered males, a deposit of $15.00
is required and the same process as unspayed females applies.

New owners have three days from the day of adoption to take the adopted pet to a vet for a health check because the animals have not been checked by a vet at the shelter.
Rabies vaccinations are required by law. All pets should be vaccinated yearly on the same day they were vaccinated the year before.
To see the animals, call or come to the Animal Shelter at 131 Plant Rd. in Houma, Louisiana (behind Eckerds off of Grand Caillou Rd). The Animal
Shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8-4pm. The phone number is (985) 873-6709.
All fees must be paid before the animal can be adopted. This is not
the total cost of the surgery the animal requires. It is only a
deposit. The veterinarian you choose will deduct the deposit from the
total cost of the spay or neuter procedure.
