Dog Training Classes are Registering Now
The next session will be starting on October 7th! – sign-up now!
One of the top reasons families relinquish their dogs to a shelter is due to behavior issues. The New Albany Floyd County Animal Control and Shelter recognizes this and is now offering affordable dog training classes for our adopters. This 8 week course includes basic obedience, beginning agility and one evening for a Pet First Aid Class  taught by Sara Beavin, a certified Pet First Aid Trainer with the American Red Cross. Classes will be held on Sunday evening for 8 weeks from 6:00pm to 7:00pm at Hillside in Floyds Knobs, IN! The classes are $20.00 if you have adopted your pet from the NAFC Animal Control and Shelter.
Stop by the shelter and register for class or for more information call 948-5355. The first class is an orientation and will include a class on “Bonding Through Massage” for you and your dog to enjoy. We will address collars, leashes, rules, and do paperwork. Please bring your dog, paperwork, proper collar and leash, and $20 cash!Â
See our Dog Training Page for more information and available forms.

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 28th 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!
