Adopters Needed At Overpopulated City Pound
Adoption day planned at TCS Saturday
The Lawrenceburg City Pound is overrun with occupants these days, and officials are inviting anyone who can to adopt an animal.
With around thirty dogs being housed at the facility at the current time, the overpopulation is creating difficulties as far as caring for the animals is concerned.
In an effort to assist the department, officials with Tractor Supply Company on North Locust Avenue have agreed to allow an adoption day to be held on their parking lot. The business will allow officials to use their kennels to hold the dogs throughout the day. Officials are urging residents to come by and consider adopting a dog, in the hopes of saving the lives of many of the animals.
The Adoption Day will get underway at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, August 28, and officials expect it will continue until around 1:00 p.m. An adoption fee of $25 will be charged, however adopters can recoup that cost by providing the department with proof of vaccination and spay/neuter procedure.
