Dear Friend of Animals,
I’m excited to tell you about an amazing matching gift opportunity — and to introduce you to two little lives you can help.
Right now, thanks to three amazing animal advocates, we have a $30,000 Spring Matching Gift Challenge! Every gift the Kentucky Humane Society receives before April 14 will be matched, dollar for dollar, until the challenge is met.
Grrr-ab your leashes and your four-legged best friend(s)! The Kentucky Humane Society’s 26th annual Waggin' Trail Walk and Festival for the Animals kicks off Sunday, May 31, at Louisville Slugger Field, 2-5 pm. There will be plenty of covered areas in case of rain! Join thousands of animal lovers and their canine companions for a fun-filled community dog walk and fundraiser.
Enjoy animal booths, food and beverage vendors and music. Fun and PAWsome activities throughout the day will keep your family and pets entertained! Lure coursing, painting with your pet, treats & delights to spoil your pooch, adoptable pets, and so much more!
BISSELL Pet Foundation (BPF) is aiming to bring holiday hope to homeless pets with its national Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope event. On Dec. 13-14, 2019, BPF will support over 110 shelters by offering reduced-fee pet adoptions – including the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) and Metro Animal Services (MAS).
During these days, KHS is reducing adoption fees on dogs to $25 and will be charging no adoption fees on cats. MAS is waiving all adoption fees both days for all cats and dogs, thanks to BPF and the non-profit, Friends of Metro Animal Services.
I wish it weren’t so, but there are animals in Kentucky who have never known true love. Animals like Tami.
A big thanks to Jeremy Bewley, DMD, DICOI, of Cornerstone Dental who donated a dental handpiece to the Kentucky Humane Society! This equipment retails for about $1,600, and we so appreciate this amazing donation!
