My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I'm Grandpa Joe, and I'm excited to share my story with you. After spending nearly 8 years with my adopters, I've come back to find a new home that's just right for me. I might be a bit older, but don't let that fool you-I've still got plenty of spunk!

I'm a laid-back fellow who loves curling up on my cozy pillow and blanket, catching some TV time. There's nothing quite like a leisurely stroll in the backyard, where I keep a watchful eye on pesky birds that dare to visit!

I'd thrive in a calm home without kids, and I'd prefer to share my space with dogs my size or smaller. Bigger pups can be just a bit too much for me! I do have a Heart Murmur, but my wonderful vet assured me that with some daily meds (which I happily devour in cheese!), I can manage just fine. Plus, I'm working on getting my skin back to its best with a little help from those meds.

Go meet their pets

Animals in our foster program are in homes, not in the shelter.

If you are interested in meeting our animals please email to make an appointment for a day and time that works best for you.

We are usually at Petsmart on Burkhardt on Saturdays from 9am-3pm, but watch our Facebook page and website to find out where we'll be this weekend!

More about this rescue

A.C.A. is a network of foster homes, an entity formed to help animals from Evansville Vanderburgh Animal Care and Control. Most of the animals in our foster care program have all come directly from EVACC.

We choose to pull from EVACC because of the thousands of great animals that come through the shelter each year. Thousands of cats and dogs (and some chickens, horses, and small furries) are relinquished to the shelter each year. Some are given up by owners, victims of hard times, or new living circumstances. A larger portion have come in as strays, found on the streets of Evansville, held for 7 days at the shelter for an owner to reclaim them, and then given a very short period of time in which to find an adoptive home before the kennel is needed again for the next animal that comes in.
