In August 2008, there were 98 cats and 37 dogs turned over to the shelter — a total of 135. That number this year was down to 63, less than half. While fewer animals going to meet their too-common fate at the animal shelter should come as welcome news, this development might not be as positive as it seems.

Adoptive pet owners will now be required to pay for medical services for spaying and neutering their animals. However, the shelter will offer vouchers worth $50 to help subsidize the cost as long as owners use a Lafourche veterinarian. Cost to spay and neuter pets depends on an animal's type and size, but it can exceed $100.

But we have to start doing something.   -Kelli Toups

The dogs, formerly owned by Anthony and Sari Lee Watson, will be moved to three separate animal rescue sites in Georgia sometime next week, said Kelly Toups, the Lafourche Animal Shelter's clerk. "It will be less dogs to care for and they're going to be going to a rescue rather than us having to euthanize them," Toups said. The Watsons were charged with 22 counts of simple cruelty to animals for allegedly abandoning their dogs and three rabbits.
