The Floyd County Animal Shelter met with the Humane Society Wednesday, July 27th to discuss fundraising ideas, ways to improve the shelter, and animal control measures to help reduce the stray population. One of the things that we want to look at is what we can do to improve. We know we need a new building, but we also are looking at, do we need maybe a county ordinance to beef up a county ordinance? What kind of policies do we need to make sure that we have in place? And that was one thing that Mr. Blevins that was here today with the Humane Society, he's the state director for the Humane Society, one of the things that he could do, some ideas that he could give us, because I think it helps to know what's going on in other counties. You know, we've got a lot of great folks doing great work in other counties, and if we can just kind of see what they're doing, kind of, you know, don't reinvent the wheel, it's already there, and trying to get some ideas that way. The shelter has raised $200,000 for a new building and recently raised $17,000 with their Rainbow Bridge 5K. Plans are currently in place for the new shelter that will have a larger capacity and upgraded facilities. We are working on some, we've got some ideas for some upcoming fundraisers. We have some wonderful people on our board and on our fundraising committee, and we are throwing about some ideas for something this fall that we would like to do a big community event. We have a lot of things that we want to do as far as like some additional 5Ks, maybe a black cat run in the fall, possibly we've talked about doing a fur ball or a black cat ball, just something different for the community that they would enjoy and just to bring attention to the needs that we have at the shelter.
