She had a special place in the hearts of many staff members with her little bow-legged front end, and her goofy lil smile.  Belle’s new family had been in the area visiting family when they stumbled across Belle at the Pet Adoption Center in the mall.  After seeing her a couple of times, Belle’s new mom knew that she was going back to Washington D.C. with a new addition to the family.  Belle had a little trouble adjusting to her new home at first.  She was not sure what to do with people, her new brother Sammy, or anything around her. She had spent her first several years without ever being in a home, or truly loved.  That isn’t the case anymore!   She is getting very used to life as a dog, not a breeding machine.  Belle deserves all the love in the world, and she has found that in her new home!

Shelter Unveils New Cat Central Station! 

The New Albany Floyd County Animal Shelter is thrilled to announce the unveiling of our new communal cat room, The Cat Central Station! On August 21st the shelter will host an open house, with free refreshments, including grilled hot dogs. All pet lovers in the community are urged to come and see this new wondrous addition to our shelter!

 Our refurbished communal cat room will be a one of a kind place for cats in the Kentuckiana area! The unique design will feature a maze of cat ramps, scratching posts, and comfortable perching areas that have both function and beautiful form. Our manufacturer, Grant Smith, is leading the way in designing shelter cat rooms that are stress reducing and fun for both cats and people.

Don’t miss this fun filled family event featuring our communities’ adoptable felines! Our Summer of Love Cat Sale has slashed our adult shelter cats adoption fees to $10. This includes spay/neuter, initial vaccinations, microchip, and a negative Felv/FIV test.  Doors will open at 11, and visitors and adopters will be welcome until 2:30.

 ”Deal or Steal” Greentree Pet Adoption Event

Another highlight of the day will be at our Greentree Mall Pet Adoption Center with a special “Deal or Steal” Adoption event. To clear our store for an upcoming relocation, adopters will have a chance to draw for the amount their adoption will be discounted. Adopters that draw a steal card will have their cat’s adoption fee completely waived, but everyone will get a deal. The Greentree Mall Pet Adoption Center cats are currently available for a $20 adoption fee.  The Deal or Steal event is only happening at our Greentree Mall location and is sponsored by Terry Middleton’s Karate Kickboxing and Boxing.

Her new owners refused to give up on their new little family member.   Bella Jean is now happy and healthy as can be with her new family. She is a momma’s girl and loves going everywhere that her momma goes.  Bella Jean is one blessed puppy to have received such a great home!

Bella Jean
