1. Effective 1-1-2009, 4 Paws Rescue Inc will become a foster only rescue until a permanent rescue shelter is built, please call ahead to make an appointment to see the animals that are for adoption. The adoption fee for all our animals is $50.00. This includes a spay/neuter certificate and the dogs first rabies shot. This is to be done with a veterinarian that agrees to the 4 Paws fee schedule.

2. Everyone is a volunteer at 4 Paws Rescue, so please be patient when sending e-mails or leaving phone messages. WE WILL respond to you as soon as we can.

3. Please understand that we can not guarantee the health of any adopted animal. Although we vaccinate our adoptable animals, kennel cough and worms can be common in stray animals. We ask that you take your adopted pet to the vet within 7 days from adoption.

4. It is also a law in Louisiana that any animal adopted from a rescue/shelter MUST be spayed or neutered. 4 Paws Rescue provides the spay/neuter certificate at the time of the adoption, so you can have this done. Please don't break the law or help contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. If we do not receive the spay/neuter certificate back from the vet by the date on your certificate, WE WILL be calling you.
