The Holidays are Here!

The Holiday Season at the New Albany Animal Shelter is a busy one. Many people look to add some type of furry critter to the family. While this can be a great opportunity, it needs to be really considered as a lifetime commitment.  There are many things that also need to be considered such as cost and training.

                Please visit us or contact us if you are interested in adoptions. There are some specials that could help get an animal into your or another family’s home for Christmas.

 Christmas Dangers

                The holidays are a festive time for us and our pets. However, due to ongoing activities and constant distractions, we can easily overlook potential dangers to our four-legged family members.

                Take preventive measures to protect your pets this holiday season. Being aware of these top five dangers could save you a trip to the veterinary emergency room.

How can you not love that face? Polly is a very sweet little girl that just wants to play for a little while then snuggle up with a new family for Christmas. She is approximately 9 months old. She has already been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm tested negative. Her adoption fee is only $80! Please come see her at the New Albany Animal Shelter to make her Christmas wish come true!

Maizey is a beautiful loving girl that is looking for her forever home for Christmas. She came to the shelter as a stray earlier in the summer.  She is about 1 year old, short haired, and current on vaccinations, microchipped, Felv/FIV tested negative, and spayed! Her adoption fee is only $20! Visit her today!

Preparing for the New Baby

Your four-legged sidekick has probably figured out that something’s up. Follow our countdown to D-day and the transition will come with fewer barks (oops, we mean bumps) in the road. For many couples, a dog is their first “baby.” And chances are, your hound knows he is! Your canine will still be a cherished part of the clan when your son or daughter arrives on the scene, but your routines will shift, and that can befuddle your furry friend.

 We have a strange request…. WE NEED YOUR HELP! We use the cardboard boxes that beer cases are moved in for litter boxes at the shelter. The use of these boxes helps defray the costs of caring for cats in the shelter and the spread of disease. Now, when our population is at its highest, we cannot get the boxes we need in adequate quantities. The auction houses also use the boxes and are leaving us in a situation where we cannot care for the cats in the facility. IF you go to a liquor store, grocery store, pet store, etc. and see these type of boxes grab them for us!! The boxes are about 11″ x 17″ and used for beer cases and canned foods!
