Friends of Ruston Animal Control

ADOPT; FOSTER; VOLUNTEER

Everyone has an opportunity to save a life! Looking to add a member to your family? Check your local Animal Shelter, Adopt don’t buy! Can’t adopt, but want to help? Check out your facilities fostering opportunities! Unable to foster, that’s okay too! Volunteer; all animals love walks, playing ball, climbing in your lap just for some one on one. Unable to volunteer, again, not a problem, Just a simple “share” of a post goes a long way. Want to help in other ways but unsure of how? Here are a few things that are ALWAYS needed: Laundry Detergents, Bleach, Leashes, Collars, Blankets, Towels...

The Animal Control Department supports the humane treatment of animals inside the Ruston city limits, through operation of the Ruston Animal Shelter, educational programs, and enforcement of City and State laws.

Ruston Animal Control officers investigate cruelty cases as well as complaints about barking dogs, aggressive animals, livestock running at-large, or other nuisance animals inside the city limits. Live humane traps are available at no cost for use by Ruston residents. Animal Control officers check these traps and tend to impound animals on weekday mornings. Animal Control staff also removes dead animals from roads inside Ruston.
