The purpose of the Pets In Need Society (PINS) is prevention of cruelty to animals, to relieve the suffering of animals, and to advance humane education. PINS volunteers and fundraisers raised enough money in our first two years of existence to put an addition on the Meade County Animal Shelter and renovate the entire facility. 

Our current goal is to reduce the number of unwanted animals through an aggressive Spay/Neuter Program. Working closely with the veterinary clinics in Meade County, PINS helps owners and adopters who need financial assistance to spay and neuter their pets. Effective January 1, 2009, PINS will pay $25 toward cat and $40 toward dog spays and neuters. The owners pay the rest; except PINS will continue pay full cost for neutering Shelter adoptees. If you're interested in assistance with a spay or neuter, call the PINS voice mail number (422-3838) and a volunteer will call back.

Check out the Happy Tales link, featuring success stories from the Meade County Animal Shelter. If you have adoption stories that you'd like to share, please email the webmaster your tale and pictures.

The PINS motto is, "Together we can make a difference!"
