Many animal shelters across the wabash valley have closed due to covid-19 concerns.

However..the "parke-vermillion county humane society" has stayed "open" through it all.

Shelter manager "brenda boatright" says the shelter has taken in close to 40 animals from terre haute since their shelter decided to close.

They now have close to 100 animals in house.

She says foster homes and adoption homes are extremely helpful during this pandemic.

She believes their shelter needs to continue to be there for animals amid so much uncertainty.

"in the meantime, somebody has got to take care of the animals.

So we're not changing our protocols when it comes to taking in or getting out adopting animals.

We're just going along like we've always done.

Animals need us, we take them.

That's what we do."

The humane society is taking donations for various pet foods.
