I found a stray pet in New Orleans. Do I have to take it to the shelter, and does it cost anything?
You can either keep the animal and commit to finding its owner, or bring it to the official shelter in the parish where you found it. There is no fee to bring lost pets to the Louisiana SPCA from New Orleans or Plaquemines Parish. Get the animal scanned for a microchip, file a found report and post flyers where it was found.
