TPAS Joins the ASPCA’s Rescue Effect Campaign; Asks Local Community to Adopt and/or Foster Animals
The Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter has announced that it will join hundreds of animal shelters and rescues across the country to participate in the ASPCA’s Rescue Effect campaign to raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption and/or fostering and place more animals into loving homes. During the three-month-long campaign, the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter will offer adoptions at no cost and adopters will receive a large wire crate and other supplies with all dog adoptions.
Most shelters across the country are at capacity with nearly six million dogs and cats entering shelters and rescues in 2025. Choosing to adopt helps the animal you take home and frees space and resources to help others. Animal shelters have pets of all sizes, ages, and an array of wonderful personalities. If you are unable to adopt, fostering also helps free space for other animals in need.
The Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter is grateful for the support of the ASPCA and our community. The Rescue Effect campaign will help propel our goal to place adoptable shelter animals into loving homes.
Launching in August and continuing through October, The Rescue Effect is the ASPCA’s national campaign dedicated to helping organizations increase adoptions and engage the public. This year, the ASPCA is once again providing $2 million in grants to cover adoption fees and support operations at participating shelters and rescue groups across the country with some holding fee-waived adoption events.
