The shelter is asking anyone not in an immediate crisis to keep healthy pets in their homes. Animals with severe medical needs, injuries or pose a safety risk to people and pets in the home are an exception.<\/p>\n<p>The Adoption Center will reopen once the \u201cstay at home\u201d order is lifted April 8. Essential staff will still be reporting to the shelter to care for the animals. At this time we do not need emergency fosters to house animals. We will work with staff and current fosters if animals need to move into foster homes for space.<\/p>\n<p>The business office will still be open during normal hours 11 a.m. \u2013 6 p.m. Monday \u2013 Friday with limited access to the public. Animal Control Officers will still be available to respond to emergency calls reported to 427-1244 option 1 or 449-3000 on weekends and after hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/isp\/t20251111-ISP.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"From left to right: Troopers Chase Pfefferkorn, Eric Mitchel, Bryce Kukelhan, and Caleb Wooldridge.
