FCARL is thrilled to announce Wendy Byrn as the new Director of the New Albany Animal Shelter! Wendy has many years of veterinary medicine experience and a passion for animal welfare and we are excited to see many positive changes under her leadership!

WELCOME WENDY:

The City of New Albany is pleased to introduce our newest Animal Shelter Director, Wendy Byrn! Wendy began with the City of New Albany shortly after longtime shelter director David Hall announced his retirement, and she has hit the ground running.

Wendy is a southern Indiana native that grew up on a small, local farm. Her father was a thoroughbred blacksmith, so she spent many of her younger years at farms and surrounded by horses.

She started working at a veterinary clinic early in her career, and spent several years there before moving into an animal welfare position. After some time, she returned to veterinary medicine, but she always had the goal of working with and leading an animal shelter.

“I felt like I could do more to help animals and people in a shelter than at a veterinary clinic,” stated Ms. Byrn. “These shelter animals are of a much higher need than the typical animal in a home, and I wanted to help where I could have the most impact. I’m thrilled to be here at the City of New Albany and look forward to serving in this new role.”

“Wendy is a great addition to the City of New Albany, and her expertise and care for animals will be a huge benefit to the people of our River City,” stated Mayor Jeff Gahan.

UPDATE: FOSTER HAS BEEN FOUND!!

We would like everyone to meet Pete!

We picked up Pete in the Silver Hills neighborhood after having multiple reports of him wandering around, and the public’s concern of his physical condition. When he came in he was shut down and scared of everyone around who greeted him. We have been working with him, and even though he is still scared and reserved, we are now able to walk him outside! He’s also put on a few pounds since being here, which is fantastic! We believe that it would be in Pete's best interest if he went to a foster home to continue to warm up to people and come out of his shell a bit more. Pete would need a quiet home, preferably with no children, and no other animals. We would like someone who is familiar with the breed, and able to give the time, love and commitment he so desperately needs. If you're interested in fostering please fill out a foster application on our website!

PEANUT BUTTER DOG BISCUITS

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup peanut butter (make sure that it doesn’t contain Xylitol)
3/4 cup milk

Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together peanut butter and milk until well combined and smooth.
Fold the peanut butter/milk mixture into dry ingredients and mix well to a soft dough.
You can just turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly.
Roll dough out to 3/8 – 1/4 ” thick; cut into pieces 1-2”

Place 1/2” apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Store cooled biscuits in the freezer.

You can use any cookie cutter shape to make the biscuits, it doesn’t have to be in the typical dog/bone shape although that is perfectly fine. We need small, medium, and large biscuits so feel free to make one size or a variety of sizes.
