Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter is dedicated to balancing the health, safety, and welfare of our community by protecting both people and animals. We strive to motivate responsible pet ownership while providing compassionate care for the animals in our parish.
Why We Exist
Our shelter serves as a vital community resource, addressing the unique needs of animals in our area through public safety, humane education, and dedicated shelter services. We believe that by fostering a culture of empathy, we can create a safer and more harmonious environment for every resident and pet in Terrebonne Parish.
How We Help
We operate as a high-intake facility, managing animal control, disaster response, and cruelty investigations across the parish. To bridge the gap for animals who need extra TLC, we utilize an active foster network, including specialized programs for bottle-fed kittens, medical recovery, and our popular 'Doggy Day Out' outings. Our team is committed to transparency and works hard every day to provide quality care for the homeless, injured, and vulnerable animals in our community.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Our adoption team is passionate about making great, lasting matches for both animals and families. We use a simple questionnaire to understand your lifestyle, allowing us to pair you with a pet that will thrive in your specific home environment. Adopting a pet is a joyful, life-changing partnership, and we are here to support you in finding your new best friend.
