The shelter opened today on a 2 hour delay. We will be here today until 5pm, so stop by if you are interested in adopting a new pet!

Due to the snow emergency the shelter will be closed today, February 16th. In addition the Spay Neuter transport scheduled for Tuesday, February 17th has been CANCELLED. We will let you know as soon as possible when we have it rescheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Norman is finally ready to go home! He has been at the shelter for several months while he was being treated for heartworms. He is a 7 year old male puggle. Norman can be a little rough with other dogs sometimes, so meet and greets are recommended. He is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered! His adoption fee is only $80.  Come see him at the New Albany Animal Shelter. He has waited for love long enough!

Our wish list is available, and those items are always needed. However, we really NEED cat collars right now!

Also, we always need volunteers! February’s Orientation will be held on March 5th at 6:00pm because of our floors being redone!

February’s Newsletter is now available! There is some very important information in it about humane legislation, spay and neuter, and shelter closings - so please read it!  Here is a sneak peak, but the whole things can be found under the “About Our Shelter” tab above.

Shelter Fix Up

Beginning the last week of February, the shelter will be preparing for some updates.   The shelter will be getting new floors and some paint! To prepare, there will be a lot of moving furniture and animals, as well as taking up tiles. We will be closed February 26th – the 28th as the floors are being laid and are drying. Don’t worry! Animals will still be taken care of offsite. We may need a few fosters, too! If you are interested in fostering or volunteering to help move furniture and lift floors, please contact us. (812)948-5355.

Spay Now or Stay Stupid

Spring is almost upon us and we can’t wait! However, that also means we are only 6 weeks away from kitten season.  Kitten season is the time of year where thousands of cats and kittens begin flooding shelters nationwide. There are many cats and kittens already without homes, let’s not add to the problem of overpopulation! Other than assisting with pet overpopulation, there are so many reasons to get your pet altered. Animals that are fixed are less likely to have health issues such as testicular, uterine, or breast cancer. It can also help with some behavior problems – marking, aggression, territorial issues, escaping, etc.
