Daviess County Fiscal Court is considering defunding our animal shelter. This decision, led by Janie Marksberry and Charlie Castlen, will leave funding for our shelter up in the air and will be damaging to both the animals of Daviess County and the generous employees who have dedicated their careers to help the innocent animals in our community.

This change in policy will mean our shelter is no longer guaranteed operational funding from the county which means the quality of care and the amount of animals saved will be at risk.

Contact our county officials today to inform them you are AGAINST defunding the shelter!

Be responsible. Several low income programs available. If you can't afford a vet, don't get a pet.

I would like to remind you that it’s the time of year to see turtles crossing our roads. Please give them a brake and if possible help move them along. I'm not asking you to jeopardize your safety but if you can, please help. Make sure you nudge them in the direction they were headed or your help could have been in vain. Please whatever you do DO Not remove the turtle from the area in which you found it . Simply move the turtle safely off the road in the same direction in which it was traveling .
Turtles everywhere thank you. 🐢💚

Such a shame. These dogs saved the lives of the soldiers who abandoned them.

Military dogs were left behind in Afghanistan and put at risk of death and abuse. Animal organizations are raising money to save them.

Those who know me, knows that any animal melts my heart. Wildlife thats scared, losing their homes, injured, alone. Even some pets being left behind. UC Davis vet school and wildlife disaster teams are doing a great job helping all of God's creatures during this time. T-shirt fundraising donations to support these programs.

The Wildlife Disaster Network is just one group that patrols burn areas looking for critters that need their help
