Evansville, Indiana – The Evansville Animal Care & Control (EACC) shelter is highlighting a special adoption candidate this week: Maya, a calm, timid dog who thrives in a relaxed household. The shelter encourages families who enjoy quiet evenings at home to consider giving Maya a permanent home.
About Maya
Maya is described as a sweet‑tempered canine who prefers to sit on the couch, watch television, and receive affection. She is not an active, high‑energy dog; instead, she enjoys a low‑key lifestyle and would do best with owners who share that pace.
What EACC Recommends
Jenn Book, a spokesperson for Evansville Animal Care & Control, says Maya would be perfect for families that lead a calm lifestyle with minimal activity. “She needs a lot of love and would be a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys a quiet home,” Book explained.
In addition to Maya, the shelter currently has many other dogs and cats awaiting adoption. Prospective adopters are invited to visit the facility, meet the animals, and find a pet that fits their household.
Foster and Volunteer Opportunities
For those unable to commit to a lifelong adoption, EACC is actively seeking foster homes. Fosters provide temporary care, helping animals adjust to a home environment while they await permanent placement.
The shelter also welcomes volunteers to walk dogs, socialize cats, and assist with daily operations. Volunteers play a vital role in keeping the animals healthy, happy, and ready for adoption.
Supporting the Shelter
As the holiday season approaches, EACC encourages community members to support the shelter through donations. Items such as dog beds, food, toys, and monetary contributions are always needed to maintain a comfortable environment for the animals.
Anyone interested in adopting Maya or another pet, fostering, or volunteering can contact Evansville Animal Care & Control through their website or by calling the shelter directly.
How to Get Involved
- Visit the shelter to meet Maya and other adoptable animals.
- Apply to become a foster caregiver for dogs or cats.
- Volunteer to walk dogs, play with cats, or assist with shelter duties.
- Donate supplies like dog beds, blankets, food, or make a monetary contribution.
By supporting EACC, residents help ensure that animals like Maya find loving, permanent homes and receive the care they deserve.
