Playing and caring for the lost and forgotten dogs of Beauregard Parish. That’s how Deputy Krista West starts and ends her day seven days a week.
“It’s been my mission since I took over this position to find every dog a home and fight for every single one that comes through,” West said.
But conditions at the parish’s current animal control facility are anything but ideal.
“Our conditions are crude at best, you know,” Beauregard Parish Sheriff Mark Herford said. “We do the best we can with what we had.”
