The GRADD Community Collaboration for Children (CCC) regional network will present two free parenting workshops — “Stop Defiance and Disrespect: Eliminate Power Struggles and Sibling Fights” — on April 10 and 11.

Noted national behavioral consultant Kirk Martin and his son Casey will share first-hand experiences, humor and practical advice for both parents and children.

They will address topics such as getting kids off video games without a fight and creating stress-free mornings, homework times and bedtimes.

The Daviess County Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers who can walk dogs in the afternoon and evening hours. This helps the dogs greatly. You can do it according to YOUR schedule and as much or as little as you want. The staff can show you how to get started!

3/5/2013....We must hurry in order to save these dogs! They are all currently on the euthanasia list at Daviess County Animal Control in Owensboro.  All of these dogs have been here a VERY long time and we have not had any interest in them and/or no approved homes have come forward.

We feel that every one of these dogs deserves a chance to live but our shelter is very full despite how hard we work to get them homes and rescues. It is truly heartbreaking and we are asking for your help in sharing these precious dogs so that we can they may have a chance at life and not be put to death in a cold, heartless shelter.
