WEEKEND FREE PET ADOPTION EVENT HUGE SUCCESS

Event made possible through Best Friends Animal Society and Bounty

Lafayette, LA – This weekend’s free dog and cat adoption event at the Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center (LASCC) was a huge success. More than five dozen animals were adopted — 31 dogs, four puppies, three cats, and 30 kittens, totaling 68 animals.

Adoption fees were waived through Best Friends Animal Society’s national event, sponsored by Bounty. “We’re thrilled to find homes for these animals, some of which have been in the shelter for a long time. Thanks to our sponsors and caring community, these animals are no longer homeless,” LASCC Supervisor Shelley Delahoussaye said. “Adopting out 68 animals makes room for 68 more, so 136 in total are saved.”

Visit LASCC’s website to view available dogs and cats that still need homes. The fee for dogs is $35, $25 for cats, and fees are waived for military veterans and senior citizens over the age of 65. Many of these animals are regularly featured on LASCC’s Facebook page as well. Pets are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.
