Pet SurrenderIf you feel you can no longer care for your pet and must surrender him/her to the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter (TPAS), you must be a Terrebonne Parish resident with a valid ID and make an appointment with TPAS. Before surrendering your pet, we strongly recommend having a veterinarian give vaccines (particularly distemper/parvo and bordetella) to help
protect your pet, as your pet will be stressed and exposed to other animals with unknown medical histories in the shelter environment. Rehoming ResourcesAs the pet’s owner, you have the best chance of finding your pet a new home.
