We envision the day when all citizens, their property and their neighborhoods will be safe from the dangers and nuisances of irresponsible pet ownership. We envision the day when animals will not suffer because of human abuse, neglect or ignorance; and that every pet born will be assured of a good home and care all it's natural life.

In keeping with our vision, our mission is to balance the health, safety and welfare needs of people and animals in St. Tammany Parish by:

• Protecting the rights of people from dangers and nuisances caused by uncontrolled animals.
  
• Ensuring the legal protection of animals from mistreatment.
  
• Promoting, motivating and enforcing responsible pet ownership.
