Emergency Offsite Adoption Event
On
Saturday, 8/2/08, the St. Bernard Parish Animal Shelter will hold an
offsite adoption event in the Home Depot parking lot (near Firestone),
8601 W Judge Perez Dr, Chalmette, LA 70043 from 11 AM-2:00PM. The big
white Shelter bus will be parked in the lot and Tina and her staff and
volunteers will be there to showcase some of the many animals that
urgently need adoptive and/or foster homes. The shelter is overflowing
with animals, including 29 pups under 3 months and a slew of kittens.
They cannot stay at the shelter any longer and it is imperative that
they be placed as soon as possible.
I cannot impress how urgent it is for these animals to move out of the shelter?unless an adoptive or foster home is found, many will have to be euthanized for lack of space.
These are all highly adoptable social animals. The adoption fee has been slashed to a maximum of $50 for dogs and $40 for cats but even greater discounts can be given depending on the circumstances. All adopted animals are spayed/neutered; have vaccinations; are dewormed; and are microchipped (with prepaid registration).
There are animals at the shelter who need some time in fosters to become acclimated to ?indoor? living; to complete their Heartworm treatment (provided by Shelter), or just to wait until an adoptive home is found. There are ongoing offsite adoption events throughout the area as well as out of state adoptions and we feel that all of the fostered animals have a good shot at getting adopted in a reasonable period of time. Some dogs desperately need very short term fosters?adopters or rescues have been identified but it will take a couple of weeks or so to arrange transport (i.e., Guerra). Animals going into foster are spayed/neutered, have vaccinations; are dewormed, and are microchipped. Anyone who can foster a dog even for a few weeks, can come to the adoption event or call Susan at 860-685-1966 or Chris at 914-720-6888.
