SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. — Over in Sullivan County shelters all across the Wabash Valley partnered up on Saturday for the Southwestern Indiana Adoption Event. The event provided the opportunity for local shelters and rescues to help animals find their forever homes. Today, six shelters and rescues from around the area teamed up at the Sullivan County 4-h fairgrounds to provide discounted fees, vaccinations and same day take home for those wanting a new furry friend. Organizers of the event say often times people may choose not to go to a shelter so having an event like this makes the experience better. 'What is the actual temperament of the dog. Cause dogs that can handle this kind of environment tend to be a little more people friendly. They're easier to work with and things like that, so it's a good time for people to see what the dog might really be like,' said Swaim. If you missed out on the event, there are still plenty of dogs and cat waiting to be adopted from shelters and rescues across the area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Local uptick in solitary bees around the Wabash Valley
WABASH VALLEY (WTWO/WAWV) — With the warming temperatures and consistent rainfall, areas around the Wabash Valley have seen an uptick in solitary bees. Good news, solitary bees do not sting. 'People calm down, especially when they find out that solitary bees don't like to sting,' said Tabba Flinn with the Purdue Extension – Vigo County. Although, these specific types of insects do not produce honey. Rather, solitary bee's main purpose is to bring pollen from flower to flower and pollinate fruits and vegetable plants. 'Our solitary bees are really important pollinators. They're actually better at pollinating than our commercial honeybees are,' said Flinn. 'They're really important for our food systems in understanding their biology and when they're active.' Late spring, until early summer is the most active time period for solitary bees. This time of year, you may see colonies, or tunnels near your yard or garden. Good news, the bees are only active for another month before they migrate. Moving forward, if you have any questions or concerns about the bees, you can contact Purdue Extension – Vigo County anytime. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
