Change In Adoption Hours!

Beginning Saturday, April 19, 2008, the New Albany Floyd County Animal Control and Shelter will revise its Saturday adoption hours. The animals will be available for adoptions from 11 – 2:30 on Saturdays. In addition, the shelter will be closed completely on Saturdays for six weeks in the summer beginning July 5th and reopening on August 16th,2008. Last summer it was found that adoptions dropped significantly from the facility in the summer months. NAFC Animal Shelter will be increasing its use of their off site adoption vehicle, so watch for the "Wags and Whiskers Wagon" visiting your community with animals for adoption. Adoptable animals can still be viewed on weekends at the local pet stores, at the Pet Adoption Center at Greentree Mall, and always on the website

Can't come to the shelter? We can come to your event!

The "WAGS N' WHISKERS WAGON" is our mobile off-site adoption vehicle. Outfitted to be self contained it can come to your event with adoptable animals. This vehicle gets booked quickly and is available to most any event but events in Floyd County, IN get priority. With its great graphics and paint job we think it really stands out and "barks" it's a real crowd pleaser. For more information please contact Theresa Stilger at (812) 948-5355.

We Have Affordable Dog Training Classes

Classes will be held every Sunday evening for 6 weeks from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and 7:30 to 8:30. Classes are limited to the first 10 paid applicants and begin with a people only class.

We are doing an "Extreme Kennel Makeover"

Our municipal animal shelter is very unique in that it does not set time limits for adoptable animals to be placed in homes. As a result, it is important that their stay be as comfortable and loving as possible. In response to this challenge, we are initiating our “Extreme Kennel Makeover” campaign. Each adoptable kennel or cage can be sponsored by an individual or business. The sponsorship will allow the kennel or cage to be outfitrted with an indestructible, custom built bed or shelf for cats; dog or cat toys; stainless steel bowls; and training tools for the dogs. A permanent dedication or memorial sign will be designed for each kennel or cage with the sponsors information.
Contact us and ask to speak with Theresa or David, the cost is $300.00 per kennel (SORRY, NO MORE KENNELS) just cat condos at $150.00 per cat cage to establish your sponsorship. Only limited numbers of sponsorships are available, so set up yours today! Call 812-948-5355 for more information.
Thanks to ASHI for their help with this project!
