St. Charles parish shelter shifts morning public hours to improve animal care
Summary
The St. Charles Parish bridal shelter moved weekday public opening to 10 a.m. so staff can attend to animals before visitors arrive, officials said.
PARS President Jewell said the St. Charles Parish "Bridal Shelter" adjusted weekday public hours to begin opening at 10 a.m. to allow staff time each morning for cleaning, medical care and bathing of animals before the public is admitted.
Jewell said staff will still arrive at the same time as before but will use the early morning period for internal animal care. He added the shelter offers scheduled adoption appointments outside normal hours and is open one Saturday each month for public visits. Jewell said the change follows practices used in other parishes, including Lafourche and Terrebonne, and limited windows in Jefferson Parish.
Jewell did not provide staffing or budget details tied to the change during his report.
