The Vanderburgh Humane Society (VHS) currently has at least 30 dogs in their care waiting for someone to come by and make them a part of their family. While they wait for that day to come, the VHS does everything they can to make them comfortable and keep them healthy until that happens. And right now, they could use a few items to help them do that.

The shelter posted on Facebook Wednesday that they are currently running low on what they call "canine enrichment supplies." According to the post, the dogs are given a different enrichment item each day to help keep their minds active. This is what the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has to say about the importance of providing dogs enrichment products:

By allowing your dog to engage in these behaviors, you allow them to be physically, emotionally and mentally satisfied. Dogs who donโ€™t receive stimulation tend to find ways to enrich themselves, resulting in unwanted behaviors.
