Christmas in the Shelter is No Place to Be!
Ever considered being a foster parent for the shelter? We are looking for foster parents for our adoptable animals to give them the chance to experience the Christmas holiday in a home. Call the shelter to get more info about making a difference in a shelter pet's life this holiday season.

Jingle Bell Boarding
Animals adopted after December 20th can be held at the shelter for Christmas Eve pickup. There will be a fee of $5.00 per day.

We’re asking everyone to open their heart and/or home to a homeless pet this holiday season. Last year, a new world adoption record with 491,612 adoptions was set, 232 adopted from NAFC AnimalShelter.
Iams Home 4 the Holidays has set a goal this year to place 1 million, orphaned animals into happy and loving homes this holiday season, we hope that over 300 will be from the NAFC Animal Shelter.

We now are offering Free Pet Loss and Support Resources!

Through education, support and information, Gail Heller with Chance's Spot assists the public in understanding that the grief suffered when a dearly loved pet is lost is a heartfelt example of how genuine the human-animal bond can be. New Albany Floyd County Animal Control and Shelter understands this as well and is going to offer our Pet Loss Education and Support Group meeting on Wednesday, January 21st 2009 in the Greentree Mall community room, from 7pm to 8pm.

The group is free and open to pet caregivers, veterinarians and staff, or anyone that has lost a pet. This meeting will be the 3rd Wednesday of every month, for more information or give us a call!

These classes will now include one evening without your pet for a Pet First Aid Class. This class is taught by Sara Beavin a certified Pet First Aid Trainer with the American Red Cross. The class will give you basic pet First Aid you can do at home for your animal and a basic pet First Aid Kit that you can put together. Classes will be held every Sunday evening for 7 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. The classes are $60.00 for the general public. BUT! If you have adopted your pet from the NAFC Animal Control and Shelter the cost for classes is only $20.00!
NEW! Advanced Classes also available for those that have been to our basic class. Call for more information.

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!
