Foster-to-Adopt Event at Warrick Humane Society – July 10–15
Newburgh, Indiana – Warrick Humane Society is inviting the community to participate in a special Foster-to-Adopt Event from Thursday, July 10 through Tuesday, July 15, giving families the opportunity to find their new best friend while giving dogs a much-needed break from the shelter.
During this event, any dog or puppy over 4 months old (who is up to date on veterinary care) is eligible for a foster-to-adopt trial. This short-term foster allows potential adopters to bring a dog home for a few days to see if they’re a good fit before committing to adoption. If they choose to adopt by July 15, they’ll receive 50% off the adoption fee.
How It Works:
• Fill out an adoption application in person or online at warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption
• Bring home a foster dog starting July 10
• WHS can help provide any necessary care items
• Decide by July 15 whether to adopt or return
• Adopt and receive 50% off the adoption fee
Shelter Hours:
• Wednesday–Thursday: 12 PM – 7 PM
• Friday–Sunday: 12 PM – 4 PM
This event gives dogs a chance to rest, recharge, and show their personalities outside the shelter setting—and
Otters drop road trip finale in Washington
Washington quickly got the scoring going in the first with a three-run home run. Braden Scott, the starter for the night, worked around it and ended the inning strong with a strikeout.
With the score at 3-0 in the top of the second, the Otters responded. Logan Brown put down a perfect bunt up the right side of the infield to score a run and reach for an RBI single.
Scott worked great on the other end of the ball as well. He pitched a scoreless second and third and got up to three strikeouts on the day.
In the home half of the fourth, Washington scored twice thanks to a solo home run and an error to extend their lead 5-1. Scott shook off that inning and worked through the sixth.
In the top of the seventh, Evansville would score for the second time. Again, it was L. Brown with a single, this time up the middle to collect his second RBI of the night, making the score 5-2.
Scott’s night on the mound concluded after seven innings, picking up eight strikeouts and four earned runs allowed.
The Wild Things were able to close it out and finish the game by a score of 5-2.
L. Brown finished 2-for-4 with two RBI singles.
The Otters are back home tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m CT against the long-time rival Gateway Grizzlies for Pirate Night, sponsored by Ascension and CAPE.
Beware of scam callers impersonating local police, warns Attorney General Todd Rokita
Fraudsters impersonating local police are calling would-be victims to demand payment of supposed “fines,” according to Attorney General Todd Rokita, and they are threatening arrest if the supposed fines are not paid immediately. Further, these perpetrators are tricking caller ID into displaying phone numbers actually associated with local law enforcement.
“Scammers are always getting increasingly more sophisticated in their techniques,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They might use the names of actual officers or police departments in their attempts to make you think they’re in law enforcement, but it’s all a ruse. Just remember that real officers wouldn’t call you on the phone and threaten to arrest you if you hang up without paying.”
This scam is occurring not just in Indiana but nationwide. Advancements in technology allow scammers inside and outside of the country to target essentially anyone. That is why staying vigilant is so important.
As the Federal Trade Commission recently noted, some of these scam callers say they’ve confiscated a package with your name on it. They might say it’s filled with money, illegal drugs or weapons. To avoid being arrested, they might say, you must send cash, deposit money at a Bitcoin ATM, buy gift cards and give them the numbers, or send money over a payment app like Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo.
When would-be victims pause long enough to think about the oddity of such demands, they realize that real law enforcement officers would not operate in this manner. Sometimes, though, panic and manufactured pressure overrides rational thought.
Anyone receiving these kinds of calls should simply hang up.
If you can’t help wondering whether the call is legitimate, then contact the local police agency using a website or phone number you know belongs to them.
