Delilah's back in business

Delilah’s pet shop is open for business after a fire burned down its building last week.

The business has set up shop at 1040 W. 17th St, pet shop owner Karene Kidwell said. This location is only temporary as the new pet shop will be located at West 11th Street and College Avenue in a former walk-in clinic.

Kidwell said her top priority was getting nutritional supplements ordered so her customers would be taken care of. Kidwell also said she has food to sell at the 17th Street location, but there are no animals.

All of the animals rescued from the fire were taken to Arlington Veterinary Clinic to be checked out and then were taken to the Howl ‘N Dog Inn in Nashville, Ind.

Karen Tice, owner of the Inn and a friend of Kidwell, offered to care for the animals so that Kidwell could get back on her feet.

Of the animals that were rescued, only three remain. The rest were sold. Tice has 2 beagles, 1 black cat and 1 pekingese.
