Big Sky CARES (formerly Big Sky Ranch/CATNIP Foundation)

Northshore Humane Society is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue and community veterinary clinic headquartered in Covington, LA. We are an independent, non-governmental charity that does not receive any tax funds

We actively look into allegations of cruelty in our parish, and the majority of the animals we have available for adoption have come from those investigations.

The Animal Shelter offers unwanted or stray animals a clean, safe place to stay. All year long, we have a large selection of animals available for adoption.

The shelter doesn't take up stray animals from the parish, accept donations, or accept owner surrenders. Dogs are the only animals served by the shelter.

The Office of Animal Control homes and cares for animals picked up by Animal Control Officers as well as those animals brought to the animal shelter by private residents.

The St. John the Baptist Parish Animal Shelter provides services for companion animals owned by parishioners, and Friends of the SJAS is here to help them.
