GREAT NEWS!!! 2 more years!!!!! Thank you Judge Reed, Prosecutors Office, our Animal Control Officers & everyone who fights for animal rights! Burko’s probation was revoked and She was sentenced to 2 more years - on top of the 4 years that Warrick sentenced her for animal abuse. If you see something - say something.
🚨 BE THE VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS 🚨
Please join us today at 11:00 AM at the Vanderburgh County Courthouse and fill the courtroom as Shannon Burko faces the judge for violating her probation stemming from her 2023 animal cruelty case.
In that case, the State requested the maximum sentence of four years, but Burko was placed on probation. One of the conditions of that probation was that she was not to own animals. As we all know, she was recently found guilty of additional animal abuse while still on probation.
According to testimony, the neglect was so severe that deputies could smell the odor coming from inside the home while standing in the street. The home was reportedly filled with urine, feces, and deceased dogs. Evidence presented included a German Shepherd found dead in a kennel with bags of dog food nearby, a decapitated dog, a dog missing a paw that was still alive, and a dog limb found in a hallway.
Today, we ask the court system to hold her accountable and deliver justice for these innocent animals.
Please show up. Please stand together. Please be the voice for those who could not speak for themselves.
Justice for the voiceless starts with us. Hope to see you at 11 am!

💕 Ginny Loved Her Special Snuggle Time Last Night! 💕
If you’re looking for a sweetheart, Ginny is your girl. This loving pup was found as a stray wearing a harness that was too small, which caused some hair loss. Despite everything, she is full of love and ready for her second chance.
✨ Adoption fee reduced to just $10! ✨
Please help us find Ginny the forever home she deserves. Share, tag a friend, or stop by and meet this amazing girl. ❤️🐾

I’m not going to lie... this morning was tough, and yes, I shed a few tears.
You see, I’m used to walking into the shelter every morning and seeing those white ears — one drooping — and that big smile peeking over the kennel rails waiting for me. Lorraine would spot me from across the room, and I’d always blow her a kiss.
Then, during my morning rounds with treats in hand, I’d stop to check on Perry, trying to comfort that sweet soul who always looked so sad and defeated. I’d end my rounds at our big happy boy Bear’s kennel, where he would be begging for treats and wagging that tail.
Don’t get me wrong — I am beyond happy for all of them. They finally got what we wanted for them all along: loving homes. But after being part of my daily routine for so long, I miss them.
Tonight, as I made my rounds, I noticed how things have already changed. We moved Ginny into Kennel #2, and I couldn’t resist climbing in with her and giving her the special “Missy treatment.” (Video coming soon!)
Sky was moved into Perry’s old spot, and she was so excited to see me. I’ve been tucking her in at night since she arrived, and she greeted me like an old friend.
And in Bear’s old kennel sits Meredith. This sweet girl has already learned that treats are part of my nightly routine and was more than happy to accept a few, beg a little & receive even more.
One thing I’ve learned working at a shelter is that our hearts somehow keep making room. We celebrate every adoption, every happy ending, and every empty kennel. But that doesn’t mean we don’t miss the ones who leave paw prints on our hearts along the way.
Tonight the shelter feels a little different, but my heart is full knowing Lorraine, Perry, and Bear are exactly where they were always meant to be — home. ❤️🐾

🚨 CALL TO ACTION: PACK THE COURTROOM FOR THE VOICELESS 🚨
Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9th at 11:00 AM, we are asking animal lovers, rescuers, advocates, and members of our community to join us at the Vanderburgh County Courthouse and stand up for the animals who could not stand up for themselves.
Many of us will never forget the horrific conditions investigators found in this case. Innocent dogs were allegedly left to suffer, starve, and die. The details are heartbreaking and serve as a reminder of why animal cruelty must be taken seriously.
We believe our community deserves to be heard. We want our court system to know that animal welfare matters, that cruelty matters, and that the lives of these animals mattered.
This is not just about anger. It is about accountability. It is about showing that our community expects justice for animals who suffered and ensuring that cases involving neglect and cruelty are treated with the seriousness they deserve. Just like Warrick County did!
If you have ever rescued an animal, fostered a pet, volunteered, donated, adopted, or simply believe animals deserve compassion and protection, please consider joining us.
📍 Vanderburgh County Courthouse📅 Tuesday, June 9⏰ 11:00 AM
Let's fill the courtroom and be the voice for the voiceless.
Together, we can show that our community will not look away when animals suffer.

‼️ 🚨 🐾 Come on Pet Families - use common sense!! 🐾 🚨 ‼️
☀️ NEVER Leave Your Pet in a Hot Car ☀️
Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise dangerously fast. In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a car can increase by 20 degrees or more, putting your pet at risk for heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage, and even death.
🚗 Cracking the windows is not enough to keep your pet safe.
⚠️ Signs of heat stroke include:• Excessive panting• Drooling• Bright red gums• Weakness or stumbling• Vomiting• Collapse
If you see a pet in distress inside a hot vehicle, call 911 immediately.
🐶 Remember: If it's too hot for you to sit in a parked car, it's too hot for your pet too.
The safest place for your furry friend on hot days is at home in a cool, comfortable environment.
❤️ Because every tail has a story, let's make sure they stay safe to tell it.
