Warrick Humane Society prepared to open a new shelter after a temporary foster transition
Warrick Humane Society announced that its new shelter would open October 24 after a multiyear development effort. The organization sought temporary foster homes for animals during the move so staff and volunteers could learn the new facility’s cleaning and operating procedures without beginning at full occupancy.
