Meet our Pet of the Week, Shoulda! He’s a 5.5-month-old Terrier mix, currently weighing in at 21 lbs, he's expected to be a pocket pittie!

Shoulda gets along great with other dogs and has enjoyed multiple playgroups, though he can be a little shy at first—he warms up quickly and absolutely loves people!

All of his siblings have found their homes, and he’s the last one left. He's been a WHS resident for 86 days now, through no fault of his own—he’s just been overlooked while other puppies were chosen. Shoulda deserves to experience the love and comfort of a home, not spend another day in the shelter.

If you’re interested in adopting Shoulda (or any of their other amazing pets), please fill out an adoption application online at warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption. You can visit them Wednesday-Thursday from 12-7 PM and Friday-Sunday from 12-4 PM at 5722 S Vann Rd, Newburgh, IN 47630.

Petting Zoos Within Driving Distance of the Tri-State

Anyone who knows me knows that I prefer animals over people most days. I tell my boyfriend all of the time that when we retire, I want a little plot of land with some cows, goats, pigs, chickens, and a whole lot of dogs. A girl can dream, right?
Sadly, since I can't have my own farm anytime soon, I guess I will settle for enjoying other people's animals, which means frequenting petting zoos and farms is pretty common for us. Luckily, I don't have to drive far to pet all the animals I can fit into a day.
From elephants to highland cattle to Clydesdales and a coatimundi, the tristate offers a wide variety of petting zoos that can be visited in a short day trip. Next thing you know, you'll be making your own list of animals to have on your own dream farm like me.
