Pets

The Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center (LASCC) is asking the community to consider taking in a cat or dog this holiday season.

While the pets were saved, contents of the homes sustained major damage.

If you are looking to adopt your family's next best furry friend, then this weekend is your perfect opportunity to do so.

The missing dog's name is Sage, and she is reported to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and is 4 years old.

The cats had apparently defecated outside of their litter box and we jumping on furniture around the house.

Of course, these options only carry a tiny portion of your pet's remains into space, but it would make for a great story!

The dog was covered in parasites, including fleas and maggots, and was too weak to support itself, not even able to lift its head.

After apprehending a burglary suspect, Kano became lethargic and was rushed to an emergency animal clinic. He died a short time later in his handler's arms.

In June, the animals were all either adopted fostered and the staff was able to breathe a sigh of relief, if for only a moment. Now, they are almost full again.

Parish funds will cover the cost of the procedures, but the effort now leaves us to wonder if the people of Lafayette would welcome a similar ordinance.

Dogs who are infected with salmonella may show symptoms that include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and lethargy.

As Hanson says, "rats can't burp or fart" and as a result the gaseous mix causes the rat to...expire.

Puppies! They’re cute, but they can be a handful. If you’re bringing a bouncing baby pup into your home, you’ll want to be prepared for anything. Take a look at these puppy essentials and get ready for your new best friend!

If you've been thinking about adopting a new pet, The Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center is making it really easy for you this weekend!

That subject came up with a friend of mine recently and neither of us really had a clue if it was legal in Louisiana or not.

Lafayette has tons of caring veterinarians and veterinarian clinics. But we wanted to find the veterinarian clinics in the Lafayette area that pet owners admired most based on price, care and pet-friendliness.

The biggest responsibility of a pet owner is to keep their pet safe, healthy, and happy. Their final duty, though, may be the most difficult.

Is it a case of paranormal animal abuse or a dog freaked out because she passed a little gas?

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry urges all livestock and pet owners to take the necessary precautions to protect their animals during the freezing temperatures.
