Pets @ Risk is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to helping animals throughout White County. The organization helps find animals that are in the pound good homes, assists those in need with spay/neuters, emergency vet services, pet food, and advocating in general for responsible pet ownership. The group meets on the first Monday of each month at 6pm at the downtown Carmi studios of WROY/WRUL. Anyone with a heart for pets is welcome to attend or join the group.
