Budget cuts could hurt animals

Bossier city budget cuts could affect hundreds of helpless animals.

Bossier animal control holds pet adoptions for dogs and cats every Saturday. But next year, the center says it will not have the money to pay one employee to run the event.

The Saturday adoptions, give about 60 animals a home each month.

"Finding homes for these animals is important. Nobody likes putting animals down,” Mark Natale says.

Shelter workers say you can save any of these animals lives.
The center is open for adoption Monday through Friday from 10am to 4pm.

Next year, the city will look at its finances to determine if it can hold some Saturday adoptions again.
