GRAWL (Green River Animal Welfare League, Inc.)  is a non-profit, all volunteer organization originally  formed in 2003 to bring a much-needed animal shelter  to Adair, Metcalfe, and Russell Counties.  GRAWL’s purpose is to educate and inform pet  owners about the importance of spaying and neutering,  and the humane ways to care for their pets. Events are being planned for the future; look for  announcements of upcoming events. ADOPT AN OLDER ANIMAL Puppies and kittens are certainly cute, and they grow up  rapidly. Then what? Not every household is the right place for a young  animal. They shed, chew on things, claw things, and  need to be housebroken. Young animals are amazingly  energetic and play a lot; an  older animal will tend to  sleep more than a younger animal will. Living with an  animal takes some adjusting. All animals need human  companionship.  You must have the time and patience to devote to their  training for animals to become good, well-behaved pets.   Older animals, however, may have already been  housebroken, spayed or neutered and leash trained.  They need to comfort and love of a stable home and lots  of tender loving care. In return, your affection and  devotion to them will be returned ten fold. Older  animals make wonderful companions!
