Jacqie is our Kennel Manager. She is the one who makes sure all the dogs and cats in the shelter are properly taken care of. Originally from Indiana, she traveled to Chicago where she received her Culinary degree. How did she end up with animals?? Your bet is as good as mine. She has been with the humane society for a year and a half now and sometimes brings her dog, Diesel, to work. |

Who We Are
The St. Tammany Humane Society is the only non-profit animal sheltering and welfare organization serving St. Tammany parish, and as such, we rely primarily on the assistance of the community we serve to care for the more than 1,000 orphaned pets that enter our shelter each year.
We offer a variety of services and have developed several programs to give these companion animals a second chance and a new leash on life.
Please take some time to dig in to the site and see what we’ve got to wag our tail about.
