Hurricane Katrina completely devastated our community. Out of the destruction and heartbreak, we have had one unexpected benefit: We have volunteers helping us from around the country, but more are needed!

The St. Bernard Parish Animal Shelter and our Friends of the Animal Shelter are committed to preventing the births of unwanted pets and to find new homes for unwanted and discarded pets that are healthy and behaviorally sound as well as those that are "near adoptable" but need some medical care.
