The Calcasieu Parish Department of Animal Services & Adoption Center assumes a unique position in the community - combining the activities of a law enforcement agency which protects people and their interests, a public health agency which protects people from the dangers and diseases of animals, and of a humane agency which is expected to protect animals.
