WHY JOIN US?

Floyd County Animal Rescue League is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to the animals of Floyd County, Indiana. 

The purpose of the virtual 5k is to raise funds to help us help the animals! We want to continue to help people get their companion animals spayed and neutered to stop unwanted litters being born, we want to be there to help an animal with an urgent medical need receive veterinary care and we want to continue to work towards getting as many community cats fixed as we can! Funds raised will also help the animals who find themselves at the New Albany Floyd County Animal Shelter through no fault of their own receive care that goes above and beyond what a shelter can normally do.

The pandemic has shifted the way we fundraise. Most of our previous fundraisers were in-person events but with all of these being postponed or cancelled, our donations were down by 40% in 2020, but the need to help the animals of Floyd County has only increased over the past year.
