Christian County Animal Control has seen consistent rates of their animals being adopted.  With that, they still have plenty in their shelter for those interested in adopting one.  They look to lead potential pet parents through an easy process and encourage community members – whether interested in adopting or not – to assist their cause in protecting the animals they work with. 

The cost to adopt a dog is $125, with cats costing just $40.  Dwanna Kelmel and Sam Abbott say there are extra steps to ensure the right pet ends up in the right home. 

The Animal Control agency always accepts volunteers to help with tasks such as cleaning and walking dogs.  They also accept donations and have a variety of needs. 

Agency staff brought in a number of changes in the last year.  They primarily include new kennels for the dogs and cats. 

Working in animal control comes with unpredictable circumstances, which is something that Abbott and Kelmel both enjoy. 

More information on Christian County Animal Control is on their Facebook page.
