October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

Shelter Celebrates with Month Long Dogtoberfest

 The New Albany Floyd County Animal Shelter is partnering with several area organizations to celebrate  October’s national designation as “Adopt A Shelter Dog Month” by holding a month long Dogtoberfest Celebration. The kickoff will be part of New Albany’s Live At Five on Friday, September 28^th in downtown New Albany. Music will be provided by Wax Factory, a local pop/rock band, and food and drink will be provided by area vendors. Our Dogtoberfest Partner, The Exchange, will be there with Beer Cheese samples.  The Shelter will be attending with the Wags and Whiskers Wagon between 5 and 7PM with adoptable animals in tow.

 Dogtoberfest Color Changing Drink Mugs will be available for purchase for $10 at Live at Five, at The Exchange and at The Floyd County Animal Rescue League’s Harvest Homecoming Booth. Steins taken to The Exchange, will be good for a free soft drink and 50% off any appetizer.

 With every dog adoption throughout the month, families will receive a coupon for a free hotdog from D.P. Up Dogs, a Buy 1 Get 1 Movie Rental at Family Video, a Free Mini Blizzard from DQ, and our awesome Dogtoberfest Color Changing Drink Mugs redeemable at The Exchange! Each dog adopting family will also be entered in a weekly prize drawing!

 Watch for The New Albany Animal Shelter in the Harvest Homecoming Parade featuring a “Weiner Walk” of adoptable dogs in honor of Dogtoberfest!
