Sorry for the long post, but I can’t stay silent anymore.

Please stop calling EACC “the pound.”
Please stop calling my team “dog catchers.”
And please stop saying that we “kill dogs.”

Those words hurt—because they erase the compassion, heartbreak, and dedication that lives inside these walls every single day.

I have held and cried with men and women as they hand over their sick or dying furbaby. I’ve felt their hands shake. I’ve heard their voices crack as they ask us to humanely euthanize their best friend—their family. I’ve watched my team wrap their arms around these grieving souls and promise their beloved pet will not suffer and will not be alone.

We are the ones who make the calls no one ever wants to receive—telling families that their furbaby was hit by a car and didn’t make it. Those calls stay with us.

I’ve watched my Animal Control Officers load their trucks with blankets, food, and supplies to help people experiencing homelessness—because compassion doesn’t stop at animals. I’ve watched my team lean on each other after removing animals from neglect, carrying the weight of what they’ve seen long after the shift ends.

I’ve watched them sit on kennel floors, talking softly to scared animals. I’ve watched them love, advocate, and fight for every single life in our care.

I’ve watched my team spring into action when we are full—calling rescues, staying late, doing whatever it takes to create space and save lives. I’ve seen a family form here, bound together by heartbreak, hope, and an unshakable love for animals.

I take calls at all hours of the night from my ACOs asking if they can help an injured or sick animal—and I never hesitate. I gladly give them permission, because helping animals is not just our job—it’s who we are.

I have never been more proud of a team in my life.

If you want to understand what we do, my door is open. I’ll gladly give you a tour, answer your questions, and show you how you can be part of the solution—through adopting, volunteering, fostering, or simply choosing kindness.

At EACC, we believe in dignity, compassion, and care.
And we will always be proud to say:

We are putting the care back in Evansville Animal Care & Control.
