Saving lives in Grant Parish
Last year, hundreds of thousands of loving pets, like the ones here in Grant Parish, were killed in shelters around the country, just because they didn’t have safe places to call home.
We’re teaming up with caring community members like you to change that.
The Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office is excited to announce a new partnership with Best Friends to save the lives of homeless dogs in our area. Best Friends Animal Society is working to make communities all over the country happier and healthier for pets and their people, including right here in Grant Parish.
Right now, we’re focusing our efforts on helping dogs around Grant Parish through adoptions, fostering, transport of dogs to safety and local advocacy efforts. Whether you want to open your home to a foster pet or work on changing local laws to help pets, we’d love for you to join us.


Adopt to help save lives
When you adopt an animal who’s been patiently waiting for a place to call home, you’re not only saving a life.

Volunteer to help save lives
Volunteers — passionate, caring people like you — are the heartbeat of our organization here in Grant Parish.

Foster: open your heart and home
When you foster a dog in Grant Parish, you’re not only providing a safe and loving place for a pet to learn and grow, you’re helping to make room for more animals in the shelter.
