The Vanderburgh Humane Society sent 32 cats and kittens and six dogs to shelters in the Chicago area Wednesday.
It’s the latest effort to reduce overcrowding and euthanizing at the local shelter.
Society Director Kendall Paul says the agencies in Chicago have the space and demand for the animals, which she describes as “healthy, wonderful, and very adoptable.”
But she says the trips are costly. Paul says the Humane Society is seeking donations to help cover the preparation and transportation costs. The society has even launched an online GoFundMe campaign.
