When coffee's optional and the dog's my only human today 🐶☕. Who needs people when you have paws and wagging tails? Don't have a dog? We do come give a happy puppy of all ages a furever home.

In my family, we grew up with loving parents who taught us the joy of giving. ❤️
They would buy us — and honestly still do — “Happy Day” gifts. Not for birthdays. Not for holidays. Just because.
A gift for a special reason of, “I thought of you today.”
A gift meant to make you smile.
I’ve carried that tradition into my adult life. I do it with my friends, and now with my Evansville Animal Care & Control family too. I’ll show up with a little something because it reminded me of them… or because I think they might need a pick-me-up.
Well today, on this cold Monday, I pulled up to my office and found a little surprise waiting for me — a bumblebee.
I’m not sure who left it.
But whoever you are… you made me smile today. 🐝💛
Thank you for spreading a little love my way. It meant more than you know.
Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the biggest warmth.

If you’re feeling down or a little lonely, I have a beautiful way to help heal your heart. ❤️🐾
Stop by Evansville Animal Care & Control (Official)
Come pass out treats.
Volunteer to walk our dogs.
Help with meet & greets.
Sit with the shy ones who just need someone to see them.
And maybe… just maybe… you’ll find your soul mutt and decide to adopt.
I can promise you this — every one of those things will help fill a hole in your heart and give you a reason to smile.
When I’m having a hard day, I walk the kennel rows. I pass out treats. I sit in the kennel with the scared ones. I talk softly. I let them lean into me.
And it changes my entire outlook on life.
There is something incredibly healing about being needed. About giving comfort. About watching a tail slowly start to wag.
If your heart feels heavy, come borrow some love from ours. We have plenty to share. 🐾💕
Shelter hours: Monday - Saturday 10 am to 5 pm

Our community never ceases to amaze me — once again, you showed up in a HUGE way! ❤️
Walking into the shelter Saturday morning, I knew we were over capacity… but I also knew I could count on YOU.
First and foremost, we could not have done this without the incredible support and generous monetary donation from the The Bryant Family. They sponsored ALL of our adoptions this weekend AND our reclaims so we could save lives and empty kennels. Because of them, barriers were removed and second chances were given.
Once we announced the $10 adoptions and free reclaims, our shelter started filling up — with people looking to adopt! Not just from Evansville, but from surrounding counties too. I had one family come up, hug me, and thank me for the reduced adoption fee. They told me they had wanted a dog for a very long time and were just waiting for the right time. That moment right there… that’s what this is all about.
Our shelter was busy in the best way possible.
Our TEAM was amazing.
Jenn and Cassie handled a line of adopters with smiles on their faces, offering guidance and tips. Our ACOs were running meet & greets, checking kennels, and microchipping nonstop. Thank you to our volunteers who always step in wherever needed. Thank you to Jamie at Specialty Pet Grooming, Doggie Daycare, and Boarding who came in to trim nails and help our pups look & feel their very best.
And a HUGE thank you to the rescues who showed up and pulled dogs to help us create even more space. Your partnership means more than you know.
Our parking lot at Evansville Animal Care & Control (Official) and even the street parking were full. Dogs were out prancing around, wagging tails, and giving it their absolute best shot to find their human.
I cannot even explain the joy in my heart or how proud I am of the teamwork and community support we witnessed.
Because of YOUR shares and YOUR support, we had:
🐾 11 — yes ELEVEN — adoptions
🐾 4 pre-adoptions
🐾 3 reclaims
🐾 3 pulled to rescue
That’s 21 dogs who will not be in the shelter. TWENTY-ONE kennels opened. TWENTY-ONE lives changed. And space made for future abandoned dogs who will need us next.
If that’s not something to be wowed by and proud of, I don’t know what is.
Again, thank you to the Bryant Family, our team, our volunteers, our adopters, the rescues who stepped up, those who showed up, and those who shared our posts.
You make my heart so full and so proud. 🐾💕
