The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s Animal Services and Adoption Center has temporarily relocated while construction of its new facility is underway.

The department now operates out of the OJJS Training and Educational Center (TEC Building) at 3615 E. Prien Lake Road. Signage will be placed at both locations to assist the public.
