This team is doing the absolute best they can with limited resources and manpower. I appreciate their professionalism, their caring concern for the animals and their prompt service. Before you complain please donate, volunteer and/or foster first. Great job BCAC!!!

I recently brought in a stray feral kitten that appeared to be smaller than it’s siblings and sick. The mother cat had not been caring for it, and I had not seen her return for two days. I was genuinely concerned that the kitten would not survive without help, so I brought it to the shelter hoping it would receive the care it needed. I understand that animal shelters are often busy and deal with difficult situations every day, and I appreciate the work they do for animals in our community. However, I was disappointed by the way I was treated by one of the employees. Instead of showing compassion or understanding for the situation, the employee came across as rude and dismissive. Surrendering an animal, especially one that is sick and vulnerable, is already an emotional experience. A little kindness and professionalism would have made a significant difference. I hope management will address customer service concerns so that people trying to help animals in need feel supported rather than discouraged. My concern remains for the kitten, and I sincerely hope it received the care it needed.

BCAS Protected a Negligent Owner, Not the Animal Today, I brought in a dog that has roamed our neighborhood for FOUR years with no collar, no microchip, no vet care, unaltered, and having already produced a litter. She has ear mites, chronic itchy skin and vulva, overgrown toenails, swollen lymph nodes, and a head tilt, and undoubtedly has heart worms. At this rate, she will likely die young from either pyometra, otoacariasis, or heartworm disease, but not before continuing to add to the over capacity in shelters locally. Despite this, the intake coordinator determined she was very well taken care of, and her entire basis for ruling this as acceptable care was that the dog appeared to be well fed. That is not what the law says. Louisiana R.S. § 14:102.1(A)(1)(c) lists proper food, proper shelter, AND proper veterinary care as separate, independent obligations- meeting one does not excuse failing the others. R.S. § 14:102 defines proper veterinary care as care sufficient to prevent unnecessary suffering. Enforcing these laws is supposedly BCAS's own stated mission. Feeding a dog is the bare minimum of ownership. The law demands far more. The coordinator's unbothered dismissal of ev

Everyone was friendly and helpful. They readily introduced me to the dog i came to see and even suggested meeting a different dog that would mesh better. I ended up adopting the second dog that day. The application process was fast and simple. The building smelled and looked clean.

Some of my animals have been adopted from the Bossier Animal Shelter! Millie. Black Lab/Border Collie! She is a happy healthy loving girl! Loves her balls and loves to run! The shelter allowed us to play with her and even bring our small dog to make sure they would get along! Thanks for helping us make the right fit!
