Baton Rouge (September 12, 2008) - The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry said the Bossier Animal Control Shelter on Old Shed Road in Bossier City has opened and will only shelter pets whose owners have critical transportation needs.

LDAF animal health officials said the shelter has the potential to house up to 400 pets if necessary but is reserved for pets whose owners could not evacuate on their own

Reports claiming the Bossier Animal Control Shelter is being used as anything but a shelter for pets with critical transportation needs are false.
