HELP US-HELP THE ANIMALS
Help Us Build a New Shelter
The Jefferson County Animal Shelter is raising private donor funds to help build a new animal shelter, and we urgently need your support.
A Powerful Community Collaboration
This project is a collaboration between Ivy Tech College and the Jefferson County Animal Shelter. Ivy Tech’s Veterinary Nursing Program is seeking a long-term solution to meet its facility needs after previous plans at Hanover College will no longer be moving forward. At the same time, the Jefferson County Animal Shelter is in dire need of a new building. United, this project helps both organizations achieve their goals while strengthening animal care and education in our community.
