1. Caddo Parish Animal Services requires potential adopters to be at least 18 years of age and provide proper identification.

2. It is required by Law that all animals adopted from Caddo Parish Animal Services be either SPAYED or NEUTERED. With all the animals that must be euthanized day after day because there are not enough responsible homes for them, this requirement will help reduce the pet overpopulation crisis that exists in our community.

3. No animal will be adopted out as MOUSERS, GUARD or WATCH DOGS or for any purpose other than companion animals.

4. The fee for adoption is $50.00, cash only.

5. Once adoption is approved the animal must be immediately transported to a veterinarian for a thorough examination. Caddo Parish Animal Services attempts to insure that all pets offered for adoption are healthy; however, an animal may be incubating a disease while at the shelter and not show clinical signs until after it is adopted and taken home.

6. A refund will be given only if your veterinarian diagnoses your animal as having a physical, medical or behavioral problem.

Note: Caddo Parish Animal Services has the right to refuse adoption to any individual based on that individual's qualifications.
