While we have several no-kill animal rescue organizations in town, they tend to remain crowded. Found pets are taken to Animal Control and Care in Evansville and cared for until their owners come to claim them. However, the owners often don’t show up, and when the center gets full, the dogs that have been there for a long time are euthanized.
City-County Observer is teaming up with other animal lovers to help find loving homes for these pets. We’re establishing a fund to assist with adoption and reclaiming fees for those who can’t afford them. We’ll also devote space on our website to sharing weekly photos of some dogs currently waiting to be adopted at Animal Control and Care.
