The adoption fees at the St. John Parish Animal Shelter are $75.00. The fees pay for Spay/Neuter, rabies and basic vaccinations, Heartworm check and micro-chipping. The vaccinations and spay/neuter are required by the state prior to the release of any animal from a shelter. The micro-chipping will make sure the owner is in compliance with state law for identification required on an animal. Tags and tattoos also bring the animal in compliance, but tags can be lost, removed or stolen and tattoos have higher health risks. Note that micro-chipping does not remove the requirement that rabies tags be attached to a collar on the animal.
The Shelter is now offering micro-chipping to the public for a charge of $15, which includes registration. The micro-chipping will be available at the shelter between the hours of 1 P.M. and 3 P.M. Tuesday through Saturday, with the exception of holidays.
