This girl NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!!!

Currently, she is at the vet and we are trying to figure out why she is lethargic and her gums are pale.

She has tested negative for heart worm & Lyme and the parasite/tick panel. She is microchipped, however the owner on the microchip states they gave her to someone else about 3 years ago. Without an owner, we know nothing about her age or any medical conditions.

IF YOU ARE HER OWNER or know who the owner is please pm our FB page or call 812-446-5126 with any information.

Problem 2: IF this girl's owner is not found, SHE WILL NEED A FOSTER in a home without cats or dogs (or a foster who can keep her isolated from their dog).

CCHS IS FULL - we have 100 dogs & 74 cats IN our facility. WE OUR OVERCAPACITY! We responded to a call on Sun., where we took in 7 severely neglected animals on top of the 24 other animal intakes so far this July.

PLEASE HELP US FIND THIS GIRL'S OWNER or become her FOSTER until an owner is found or she is adopted out.

🦆🦅 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAYS 🦅🦆GET the LEAD OUT🦅🦆

Do you fish??? Did you know ONE sinker is all it takes to kill a loon- they can eat a fish that has broken a line and ingested the sinker or has attached tackle that the loon ingests with the fish. Or they might mistake lead weights for the small stones that they normally eat to aid in digestion. Loons and other wildlife can be entangled, injured, and even killed by eating line. Love a loon by using non-lead tackle. AND if your fishing spot doesn't have a line collection bin, pack out your line.

Lead is still commonly used in ammunition for hunting upland game birds, small mammals, and large game animals, as well as in fishing tackle. Wild birds, such as mourning doves, bald eagles, California condors, raptors and loons, can die from the ingestion of one lead shot, bullet fragment, or sinker. According to a recent study on loon mortality, nearly half of adult loons found sick or dead during the breeding season in New England were diagnosed with confirmed or suspected lead poisoning from ingestion of lead fishing weights. Recent regulations in some states have restricted the use of lead ammunition on certain upland game hunting areas, as well as lead fishing tackle in areas frequented by common loons and trumpeter swans. A variety of alternatives to lead are available for use in hunting, shooting sports, and fishing activities.

Species reported to have been poisoned by eating lead fishing weights include trumpeter swans, brown pelicans, common loons and other waterbirds. These birds may ingest sinkers attached to broken fishing line in hooked fish or may pick them up as grit. The use or sale of lead fishing tackle is restricted in national parks and wildlife areas in Canada. Restrictions also have been implemented in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and in several U.S. National Wildlife Refuges and National Parks.

🐕💥"Now I'm gettin' older and everything's in full swing. Now I'm gettin' bolder, boy, you gotta do that thing. Used to walk along with the rest, got something all my own. Oh, baby, you got a little something. Darlin' you got a little something new. Got a little something new."💥🐕 CHANTILLY(Squirrel Nut Zippers, Got My Own Thing Now)

Chantilly has been a CCHS resident 5 years and 4 months. She would really love to be in a home!

CHANTILLY is an 9 year old mixed breed taken in as a stray with Lace on 3/5/20. This goofy girl is a fan of rump and belly rubs, being talked to and is what I call a good walker with 3 modes. Mode 1 is fantastic and smooth. Mode 2 is when one has to tug repeatedly to get her to walk instead of smelling a spot for too long. Mode 3 is when Chantilly is pulling you because there's another dog present. She's a sweetie who laid down for lovings, randomly sat on her own, then stayed for a while. Chantilly is not good with strangers, but once she warms up to you, she loves treats and belly rubs. She does best with female humans and prefers male dogs. She is spayed, current on shots, treated with monthly heart worm and flea preventive and microchipped.

Chantilly's adoption fee has been sponsored. If you're interested in adopting her, please fill out an online adoption application by clicking this link: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=zr1647&method=online_form_html&formid=26.
