Assistance available for spaying or neutering pets & More Latest News Here – Up Jobs

In 2021, the Natchitoches Humane Society (NHS) rescued 425 animals throughout Natchitoches Parish. Of that number, 323 were sent to rescues in northern states for adoption, 43 were adopted locally and the rest are still in our care awaiting heartworm treatment and/or adoption.

As time passes, NHS is able to transport fewer and fewer animals to northern facilities. Even though they enforce spaying and neutering, they are seeing a decline in adoptions due to the number of animals coming from the south.
The NHS received two grants for $5,000 each to help residents with the cost of spaying and neutering. There is some money left and NHS would like to help as many animals as possible to cut down on the number of litters of puppies and kittens that will end up abandoned, neglected, or a drain on their owners.
