A Ray of Sunshine in Dog Form

Our pet of the week – SUMMER – is ready to warm your heart all year long! She’s available for adoption at It Takes a Village. Before I tell you anything else about SUMMER, you should know that her adoption fee is fully sponsored (that means she’s FREE)!

This gorgeous 2-year-old Collie mix may have started life as a stray in Daviess County, but she’s left those lonely days behind and is now overflowing with love, energy, and tail wags.

The Perfect Adventure or Snuggle Buddy

SUMMER weighs in at 61 pounds of pure sweetness, and is that perfect combo of playful buddy and cuddle bug. She’s down for an outdoor adventure or a Netflix-and-snuggle night!

SUMMER is a ray of sunshine for anyone lucky enough to meet her. You can find her at ITV’s Daviess County, KY location. Apply now at ITVrescue.org.

Thanks to our Pet of The Week Sponsor: Tri-State Equine & Pet Supply

You don’t have to own a horse to shop at Tri-State Equine & Pet Supply. Locally owned and operated, Tri-State Equine & Pet Supply has the area's best selection of dog food and supplies at the best prices. Tri-State Equine & Pet Supply is located at 3300 Interstate Drive, right off Burkhardt near Lynch.

All the animals at It Takes a Village are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, and treated if necessary.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT-A-DOG Program. A quick fill form and a copy of your photo ID will allow you to spend time with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day-dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
