They don't really appreciate that, if its yours try finding it a home. If not call animal control or the shelter and see what they reccomend.

Isn’t there a leash law in our town? What do I do if someone has a dog who continues to come onto my property? I keep my dog on a lead. What do I do when they do not?

Thank you for asking, Dion. If it is supplies, you can drop them off during our business hours, weekdays from 10:30 to 4:30. If it is monetary, it can either me mailed in or dropped off. We will issue you a receipt and the money is applied towards our vet bills to help save the sick, injured and neglected pets in Shelby County. Thank you.

I got my sweet little kitten from a litter that was born at the shelter. They charged $30 cash only and it covered her spay which was pre scheduled. It all depends on the situation, but that was my experience :)

If an animal Pictured on your Facebook is no longer there, does it mean that they have been adopted? I ask because I have been following 4 kittens and now all 4 are not there. I hoping that means they have been adopted to good homes.

Theresa Brown | Dec 3, 2021
Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter | Jan 2, 2022

The only reason they would not be on our facebook page is if they got adopted or perhaps their owner was found. I say this since we do not euthanize for space. Please call the shelter at 317-392-5127 if you have any further questions about our pets, policies or procedures. Thank you for following our page, we appreciate it.

When is the spay and neuter clinic going to b? And how much to get a cat done?

Alberta Blake | Oct 29, 2021

Sorry, I don't know anything about that.

There is a raccoon on my deck before sundown. I thought they only came out at night. What should I do?

Barbara Lake | Oct 29, 2021
Jessica Lee | Oct 29, 2021

They are typically around from dusk to dawn so I wouldn't be to concerned. If you see them in the middle of the day then I would notify animal control because they could have a disease and could potentially be dangerous.

You need to contact the shelter. They use a vet in Shelbyville for their adoptions that need spay or neutered. I am sure they can help you find a place.
