Chalmette Animal Shelter May Lose Funding

CHALMETTE, La. -- Homeless animals may lose their shelter in Chalmette.

Some members of the National Guard have pledged $500,000 to build a new
shelter for St. Bernard Parish, but the state's humane society said those
funds may now be in jeopardy.

The Chalmette Animal Shelter failed an inspection from the Humane Society.

Representatives from the Humane Society said the old Chalmette animal
shelter has several problems, including no working electrical outlets and
shelter doors that do not work properly.

Representatives also said some of the animals are living in their own waste.
