It Takes a Village No-Kill Rescue

Evansville Animal Control is urgently seeking assistance to open up more kennels and avoid making difficult decisions regarding the fate of innocent animals. The essential support that they need can be provided through foster homes, which offer temporary refuge for these furry friends until they find their forever families.
If you can help please complete a foster application at itvrescue.org. You MUST take your dog to meet any potential foster dog.
Time is of essence as EACC is full.
