NEW ALBANY  FLOYD COUNTY

ANIMAL CONTROL AUTHORITY MEETING

At NACF Animal Shelter 215 W. Market St. New Albany, IN 47150

Due to the continuing public health emergency, Governor Holcomb’s Executive Orders 20-04 and 20-09, as well as guidance from Indiana’s Public Access Counselor, the New Albany Floyd County Animal Control Authority meeting regularly scheduled for April 16th, 2020 is cancelled.

Authority President, Susan Rosenbarger reports that she has been in contact with David Hall, Shelter Director regarding any needs the shelter may have.  David Hall reports that the shelter is in good shape and has no immediate needs requiring the Authority’s attention at this time.

The Authority is able to meet if the need arises, but will continue to limit meetings during this public health emergency as public access is limited.  

Due to the COVID-19 virus, the NAFC Animal Shelter is operating on limited staff currently. We are continuing to provide the best possible services we can to members of our community and provide the best care to the homeless animals in our shelter. We have changed procedures to provide services online and curbside. If you have a question or concern, please call us at 812-948-5355 or send an email to nafcanimalshelter@yahoo.com or nafcanimalcontrol@gmail.com.

We will continue to keep our website and Facebook page current with information and updates. Please visit our Adoptable Pets to view all available animals up for adoption and if you are missing a pet, you can view all stray animals currently at the animal shelter under Lost and Found Pets in Custody.

In response to the COVID-19 precautions…

NAFCACA Board Meeting (3/19)- cancelled
Pets Alive Transport – rescheduled (owners will be notified with details)
Volunteer Orientation (3/26) – cancelled

At the NAFC Animal Shelter, we pride ourselves on cleanliness and our disease protocols to maintain the health of the animals in our care. It is now time for us to consider the health of our customers and staff with COVID-19 spreading through the nation.

Temporarily, we are suspending our volunteer program to help prevent any potential spreading of any viruses. We, as always, appreciate the desire to help and hope to see our volunteers again soon. Maybe you could volunteer your time by fostering some of our adoptable animals during this time when we feel we may have a slump in adoptions.

We also suggest that our customers call the shelter and ask questions prior to coming down. We can answer questions about our adoptable animals, spay/neuter services, dog park memberships, surrenders and much more. We dont want anyone to possibly make two trips.

Please continue to take precautions to keep yourself and family healthy. We are dedicated to keeping our website and facebook updated as we progress through this time.
