“All Dogs Go to Heaven”

Hello all My name is De'Angelo. I've been a animal lover since a young boy. I grew up in a rural country town where I had to use my imagination and take advantage of the outdoors. That's when I began to love dogs. I've owned an American Pitbull Terrier whom is still dear to my heart. I do frequently dog sit and board a friendly German Shepherd, Pomeranian, and a Miniature Poodle. I'll be walking in Louisiana. I'm elated & looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful companion.

Dog Boarding in Monroe

With millions of homeless animals in the United States alone, there are shelters all over the country filled with potential pets looking for permanent homes. In Monroe, Louisiana, there are only a couple of animal shelters to provide care for the homeless pets in the area.

The Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter is one of only two animal shelters in Monroe that accept dogs. As a government entity, the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter receives most of its animals through the Department of Animal Control for the area. The shelter takes in hundreds of animals a year, including farm animals such as goats and pigs. The facility was built using donations and money from the parish and still runs off of money from the same sources. Dogs and puppies cost an $80 adoption fee, while cats and kittens are $70.

The Humane Society Adoption Center of Monroe works hard to rescue and care for as many homeless animals as they have the resources for. This means that the shelter is almost always full of animals looking for a loving home. All animals that come through the doors of the Humane Society Adoption Center of Monroe are vaccinated and checked for parasites. The shelter tries to find permanent homes for all of the animals it cares for, which means that many potential pets are brought to community events in the hopes of finding a new home.

If you are looking for a new pet in the Monroe, Louisiana, area, contact one of these two shelters to see if you can find the perfect addition to your home.
