For many years, all dogs and cats in the city of New Albany have been required to be licensed with the New Albany Animal Shelter, this is outlined in our city ordinances. We are excited to announce that those licenses can now be completed online! Visit the New Albany Public Portal to license a new pet or renew an existing license. Licensing not only ensures compliance with New Albany city ordinances—it also protects your pet! Any dog or cat found with a license tag on their collar can have owners contacted, ensuring your pet gets home safe!

You can also use your license to get access to the New Albany Dog Park located at 1935 Budd Road – New Albany, IN 47150. You can find information about getting a membership on their website (New Albany Dog Park!)

Licenses are to be renewed annually, unless your pet has a Lifetime License.  Fees vary, depending on whether your pet has been spayed or neutered.  To issue your pet a license, we will need a copy of your current rabies certificate.

Save a life by adopting a shelter pet!

We’re excited to announce that BISSELL Pet Foundation‘s Spring National #EmptyTheShelters reduced-fee adoption event will be coming to our shelter from July 5th – July 19th. You can adopt a spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped pet for a reduced adoption fee thanks to sponsorship from the Bissell Pet Foundation.

Our nation’s animal shelters are facing a capacity crisis and need your help now to get pets from shelter kennels into the couches of loving homes.

Did you know New Albany has a premiere dog park? Located along Highway 111 and Budd Rd, the New Albany Dog Park is the place for you and your dog to enjoy the outdoors! This multi-acre, members only, off-leash dog park has plenty of open space for your pooch to run and play. The park features swings, gazebos, benches, water spigots, wooded areas, a separate agility course, and much more. There are also two large play areas where the dogs are separated by weight, so that the smaller dogs will have a less intimidating environment to run and play with their friends.

You are looking for a new furry friend and companion? This coming Saturday, March 23rd, is National Puppy and Cuddly Kitten Day! Visit our Adoptable Animal pages to see if we have a playful puppy or cuddly kitten that might be the perfect match for your home and family! Also consider adopting an adult or older pet instead of a young one. Many adult animals still have lots of puppy/kitten energy and playfulness and have already outgrown the “growing pains” behaviors of a young puppy or kitten!
