Happy Tails Story: Update on Holly a Puppy Mill Rescue

Hope living her new identity as Abby!
Hi,
We are the Winn family and adopted Hope right before Christmas.  We have changed her name to Abby.  She is a loving and gentle spirit and we love her with all our hearts.  She was shy and quite timid at first, but now loves playing in the yard, chasing her sister cats, and going for car rides.  We cannot imagine our life without her.
  
Now for a little bit about our experience.  We had heard on WHAS11 news about the raid on the puppy mill and the dogs confiscated.  I cried at the thought of the dogs and what they had been through.  We had talked about getting a dog before and my one ironclad rule was that had to be a rescue.  We decided this was a perfect fit for us.  We followed the dogs’ progress on FB and your web site, and we were very impressed with the care and medical treatment all were receiving at your facility.  The day we brought her home was wonderful.  you would never have known where  she had been.  We were told that no one involved with Hope had ever heard her bark.  After a few days, a neighbor knocked on the door, and surprise!!!!  she had a voice!!!
We will be forever grateful to every single person who made it possible for us to bring Abby (Hope) into or family.  We are including several pictures so you can see how well she is doing.

Animal shelter program is reducing the number of   unwanted cats, dogs

While the goal of most businesses is to grow, The New Albany-Floyd County Animal Shelter is delighted to report that its business has declined by 25 percent over the last three years.

“Our dream is to have no stock,” shelter director David Hall said.

Animal Care Coordinator Theresa Stilger agreed saying, “We want to go out of business, but that will never happen.”

Visitors to the facility in downtown New Albany are greeted by a large banner proclaiming, “Save Thousands of Lives! Spay Neuter Adopt.”Stilger said she believes the reduction in their intake numbers is a direct result of the shelter’s “Fix Your Critter Day” low-cost spay/neuter program.
