The Sabine Animal Shelter is experiencing a huge influx of animals at the shelter this month.

Humane Society President Jackie Conyer said much of the problem is caused by people not having their cats and dogs neutered or spayed. Conyer said, “We are getting more kittens and puppies than we’ve ever experienced before. If people would only spay/ neuter, these numbers could be greatly reduced.”

Conyer also said microchipping dogs and cats with owner contact information could reduce the large number of animals ending up at the shelter. The Sabine Animal Shelter will microchip and register animals for only $10 per animal if the owners will bring them in for the microchipping process. Local veterinarians also can microchip animals.

The document was shared on social media and prompted parents and concerned residents on different sides of the issue to contact schools.

(The Center Square) – As COVID-19 cases rise in Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards and the state Department of Health announced numbers of confirmed cases and hospitalizations on Tuesday that haven’t been seen since the beginning of the pandemic last year.

The news comes amid updated state public safety guidance and delegated authorities to local government leaders and school districts regarding mask mandates.

Edwards said 6,797 new COVID-19 cases were reported on Monday, which represents the highest single-day case count since Jan. 6. And 1,390 residents were hospitalized, he said. Only three other single-day hospitalization totals were larger and all of them occurred in March 2020.

“To see this current rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations is becoming increasingly scary,” Edwards said.

Jeremie Ryan has been named principal of Many Junior High School.
