Vernon Parish Animal Shelter is a governmental agency under the Vernon Parish Police Jury. We are the agency responsible for
enforcing Vernon Parish Ordinance #4, as well as parish and state animal cruelty laws. We accept stray dogs and cats, as well
as unwanted pets from parish residents. The legal holding period for a stray animal at our facility is 3 -5 days. If the animal
is not reclaimed by its owner, title to the animal reverts to the Animal Shelter. At the time, a determination is made on
whether the animal will be humanely euthanized or made available for adoption. Owner surrendered pets have no legal holding
period at our shelter. Please consider all options before relinquishing your pet to us.
Adopting a friendYou
must be 18 years of age or older to adopt an animal. Adoptions are made on a first-come, first-serve basis. We are unable
to hold an animal for you. Our adoption fee is $2.00 for every day the animal has been at our shelter. In accordance with
State Law RS 3:2472, a legally binding adoption contract requires the adopter to take their new pet to a licensed veterinarian
within 72 hours of adoption for a complete Health Check. Rabies vaccination and Spay/Neuter is required. Proof of compliance
must be returned to the Animal Shelter. Come Visit Us!Our hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday -
