Over at the Vermilion County Animal Shelter they’ve had a lot more to be concerned about over the last couple weeks than just chasing down escaped emus. They happen to have a lot of dogs and cats available for adoption. Ann Puzey from the shelter says, this is usually a busy time of year for cats. But this time around, it’s both. Sometimes residents bring in animals they can no longer care for, but other times, they just leave them behind.
AUDIO: Right now we usually just have an influx of cats; typically each year, with the breeding season ending. But this year it seems like we have an uptick on dogs as well

Puzey reminds you, getting a dog or cat from the Vermilion County Animal Shelter not only helps an animal that needs a home, but you have advantages going through the shelter as well.
AUDIO: The first round shots, spayed and neutered, microchip, free health exam, and a little treat bag.
