Joseph St. Also visit Southern Indiana Save a Pet's site for listings of animals available at other Southern Indiana Shelters.
Needs list for Salem Animal Shelter-There has been a freeze on our budget for the last two years. Also some costly repairs and maintance has used up a lot of our budget. We all know the animals need fed, therefore that is what is donated the most often. We definately appreciate the food and do need donations of food, however it takes much more to operate the shelter and our money for even simple supplies such as light bulbs is gone.
