Angie Robert has given and done so much for the St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter. She has been there for well over ten years. Robert has served as director for many years now. She even got a brand new shelter built. Everything she has done was for the better of the parish animals. Because of Robert, the shelter became ranked top 4 in the state. Many people have offered her jobs with the ASPCA and such, but all these years, she has denied any job offerings because she put her blood, sweat, and tears into St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter. It's where her heart lies. Angie has been director as an appointed position by President V.J. St. Pierre for the past 8 years. Now, a new president is stepping in. Larry Cochran decided to NOT rehire Angie Robert with no reason given. Angie is MORE than qualified. Her office walls are even filled with all kinds of certificates and credentials. She has outstanding recommendations. So why was she not hired? Odds are, they will NEVER find anyone more suited for the job then Angie Robert. I don't know if this petition will be able to do any good, but it's worth a shot to get Angie Robert her job back where she belongs. It's for the good of the shelter and the animals.

This hurts my heart to hear. I've worked many years with bark in the park and have loved every second of it. I always see her there with a smile on her face helping out in any way possible. It wouldn't be the same without her.
There is no good reason for firing. Angie. Please reconsider. Angie is very qualified and deserving of this position. I have a wonderful pet that I adopted from the shelter 2 years ago..
The Parish should be supporting a Director that is moving their animal shelter into the 21st Century with best practices. Politicians come and go....Professionals should stay where they are needed and valued.
I urge you to retain the services of Angie Robert as the Director of St. Charles Parish Animal Control. This is not a trivial position and is very important to the community. We need her leadership to continue the progress that has been made at the Shelter!
Mr Cochran, I voted for you and would hope that you will right this... fix what's broken not what's not. Angie is a huge asset to this community, the shelter and it's success. Why would you want to change something that'sworking? (scratching my head on this one.)
I support Mrs. Orgeron and believe she truely has a caring heart for all living things. if you need a reference please feel free to contact me.

I am a St.Charles resident and homeowner. I have been to the shelter and have found it to be one of the cleanest and we'll run shelters in the area. Shame on our new Parish President for playing political flavors to friends.
