The First Pet Adoption Day in Amite, LA was a Success
The first adoption event at Walmart on September 20, 2008 was a success with a total of ten homeless pets being adopted. It was sponsored by Purina and Tangi Humane. The members of four local pet rescue groups and two animal rescuers brought pets for adoption or just showed up to help and support local animals in need.
Adopted!
Tami, a animal rescuer from St. Helena found a home for one kitten and an adult dog. Tami still has a special needs dog that needs a home with a family that willing to love a dog with handicaps. He is a blue eyed mutt and is deaf and partially blind, but he deserves a loving home too.
Coco - Adopted Too!
Dana Burris brought two abandoned female dogs that she and her husband found on the side of the road west of Independence. One found a new home. One huge dog at the pet adoption day was a fifteen foot tall dog that Fran Kraus of AARF brought to attract traffic. He behaved him self most of the day until the wind caused him to nod a little. Then a summer shower gave him a bath near the end of the event.

It was a joy to participate in a parish-wide joint effort to find great homes for deserving pets. I look forward to working together on other important aspects of pet care, such as bringing a low-cost spay/neuter van to the rural areas of our parish on a regular basis. I encourage EVERYONE to be responsible pet owners by spaying/neutering their pets, and supporting their local no-kill animal shelters. Together, we can accomplish great things.
