Happy Tail Feature Story: Scotty
Scotty the Scottish Fold
Scotty was one of several animals taken in by animal control on a hoarding case. He had spent his entire life in a cage, and was very shy. After staying in the shelter for a month and a half, he found his forever home.!He has since come out of his shell, and his new family says he has become one of the most loving cats they have ever known.
Happy Tail Feature Story: Freddie

Freddie is a Springer Spaniel that suffers from a serious disease called Addison’s Disease. When his previous adopter was unable to care for him, Ridgeview Animal Hospital contacted us. He was placed in our breed rescue program through the Floyd County Animal Rescue League. FCARL agreed to sponsor his adoption and found English Springer Rescue America, who agreed to place him.
Freddie is now in his new forever home, has his medication stabilized, and is thriving in his new environment.
GOOOO Freddie!
Shelter Success Story!
Ship is a beautiful orange tabby cat that came into the shelter last April. After about 6 months of waiting for a forever home, this beautiful cat began to withdraw from us. We housed her in the large communal cat area trying to keep her as comfortable as possible, as many cats take a long time to find the purr-fect home.
Ship was one of the 12 Strays of Christmas, but we still weren’t able to place Ship even as a free cat. She hid all the time, and really didn’t seem to want to face the world. After 11 months, a local veterinarian finally adopted Ship. She is coming out of her shell again, and fulfilling her promise of love!
Puppy Mill Lhasa Apsos Need Homes!
The New Albany Floyd County Animal Shelter has taken in a group of puppy mill dogs that are in various stages of assessment/adoptability. The Lhasas range in age from 18 months to 4 years in age. We will be accepting applications for the 1st 2 dogs of the group tomorrow at noon on a 1st come 1st served basis. They will not be ready to leave until we have the results of their heartworm tests tomorrow afternoon.
More Lhasas will be available next week and in the future as they begin to recover from their puppy mill lifestyle. If you are interested in these dogs, make sure that you read the info on the website about rehabilitating a puppy mill dog before you apply to adopt one. These are special needs dogs, and interested adopters need to be informed!
