Story
Millie came to us as a stray so we do not have any background information on her. She is a little timid but quick to warm up. We have introduced her to another female dog at the shelter and she did well but she was very focused on the dog and we would want a slow introduction to other dogs in the home. She has not been cat tested.

Story
Her name is Joy and she is great with kids, cats, and dogs. She is about 4 years old. She will come with toys, crate, and collar. She does know some commands like sit and stay. She does need certain foods and can use a probiotic but we haven't found one that works. She has allergies. We can't afford her anymore since I'm the only income in the home.

Story
Nova is a hefty girl who is good at escaping. She will need a diligent home - one who`s willing to go outside with her during potty breaks! Nova has an adventuresome spirit...she was never taught that the grass is not always greener on the other side! Nova loves people, loves her daily walks, and is just a joy to be around!You must have an approved adoption application on file before coming to meet the animals.It can take up to 7 business days for the application to be processed and approved. We will notify you once the process is complete, by phone or email.Incomplete applications will delay the process and may not be processed.Dog adoptions are $100 and includes the spay/neuter, microchip & Rabies Vaccines.Submission of the adoption application is not a guarantee that the animal you are applying for will be available to you. We do not hold dogs during the application process; the animal could be adopted by a previously approved adopter or pulled by a rescue group. The reason why we do not hold animals during the adoption process is this: to help keep our euthanasia rates down. The Daviess County Animal Shelter does not participate in the Managed Intake movement; we are still an open door facility. We are required to take in ANY animal (from a Daviess County resident), regardless of how full the shelter may be or the health or temperament of the animal being surrendered. When an animal has the opportunity to be adopted or go to rescue, we have to do so to keep kennel space available. We take in dozens of animals nearly each and every day. (Sometimes A LOT more, sometimes less.)We believe it is in the best interest of all animals to keep an open door mentality – unwanted animals need an immediate place of shelter and protection, and the Daviess County Animal Care & Control is dedicated to providing such a life saving service for the furry & feathered companions of our county.

Story
Athena is a beautiful female pit bull terrier mix, weighing around 40 pounds. While her exact age is unknown, this lovely girl has been at the shelter twice. She was first surrendered in February 2024 due to her owner moving, then adopted in April 2024. Unfortunately, she was returned to the shelter on October 30, 2024, because she didn’t get along with the other female dog in her home. Athena has lived indoors but needs a patient owner to help her with potty training. A smart girl, Athena has already learned commands like `sit` and `kennel.` If you`re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little guidance, Athena may be the perfect match for you!

Story
He’s anxiously waiting for his home, sweet home! Muttley Crue is a charming adult male Pit Bull Terrier mix, weighing around 55 pounds. Sadly, this is his second stay at the shelter—he first arrived on August 5, 2024, as a stray, was adopted, and then returned on November 18, 2024, due to mismatched expectations. With his sweetest face and an adorable brown spot around one eye, Muttley Crue is not just a pretty face but also a gentle spirit. He’s easy to walk and thrives on being close to people and has been known to do well with kids. If you’re looking for a loving companion to brighten your days, come set Muttley Crue free and bring him to your sweet home—he’s ready to be your newest best friend!This pup has a sponsored adoption fee, meaning you can bring him home neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated at no cost to you!

Story
This beautiful girl is searching for her perfect match—the Stitch to her Lilo. Lilo is a charming female American Pit Bull Terrier, with her age still a mystery, and she weighs around 31 pounds. She arrived at the shelter on August 13, 2024, along with two other dogs due to her previous owner’s personal circumstances—not because of anything she did. Lilo has lived with other dogs before, but can be dog selective so a meet and greet is always recommended to ensure a great fit with any resident pets. Think Lilo could be your new best friend? There’s no better time than now to open your heart and let Lilo say `Aloha!` to her forever home.This pup has a sponsored adoption fee, meaning you can bring her home spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated at no cost to you!
