page if you are looking for a certain
type of animal from the many wonderful
animal rescues we have
listed.
Are you looking for a
companion for your pet? or how about a
companion, gift or present for
yourself? Visit your local
animal shelter or rescue today!
There are many animals looking for and
needing a loving home
today. In many shelters
across the country over 75% of the
animals are euthanized because there
are not enough homes for them.
Please research the
breed before you buy or adopt, you'll
be glad you did! All
domestic birds, cats, dogs, ferrets,
horses, rabbits and more have a story
to tell. Please give them the time
that they deserve. They didn't ask to
be left behind. They are looking
for that forever loving
home. Help the pet
overpopulation, animal shelters and
rescuers by spaying/neutering
your pets!!

Each day 10,000
humans are born in the U.S. - and
each day 70,000 puppies and kittens
are born. As long as these birth
rates exist, there will never be
enough homes for all the
animals. Each year, in this
country alone, millions of healthy,
adoptable cats and dogs are killed
because there are not enough homes
for them all. An estimated 15
million dogs and cats must be killed
each year in this country because no
one wants them. They are abandoned,
abused, neglected, and unknown by
many people. Many people
don't realize they can find a good
pet at their local shelter or animal
rescue.
These animals have
originally come from a variety of
sources such as (but not limited
to): puppy (pet) mills, pet stores,
backyard breeders and people who no
longer have time for them or didn't
realize what all was involved in
taking care of that kind of
pet. You will find puppies,
kittens, adult cats, trained dogs,
small animals, big animals, birds
and more. They are available
for adoption at your local shelter
or animal rescue group, right
now! In many cases there is
absolutely nothing wrong with these
animals. The previous owners
just could not keep them for
whatever reasons. Many people
don't understand that having a pet
is a life commitment for the life of
that animal. Some people can
no longer keep their pets, due to
life changing issues in their own
lives. Help save a life and
adopt a pet today. Many
animals don't have much time.
Visit your local animal shelter or
rescue today!
Some of you are
probably saying that the animal
shelters/rescues are too strict
about adopting their pets.
These organizations CARE
about their animals and want to make
sure that all animals are going to a
good forever home! There are
reasons why they have rules and
restrictions. They are not in
it for the money. They are in
it for the animals and future
parents(owner's) best interest.
This is a directory
of Animal Shelters and Animal
Control Agencies throughout
Kentucky. The listings are in
alphabetical order by City or
County. If you can not
find the Shelter or Animal Control
agency, try looking under Animal Rescues.
If you still can not find what you
are looking for, please suggest
the shelter or animal control agency
to us.
Please note that not
all of the US organizations or
individuals are registered 501(3)(c)
nonprofits. If they claim 501(c)(3)
or 501(c)(3) pending & it's
important to you or you have doubts
about the organization, you can

Urgent notices are

room in the shelter by adopting a
loving pet today! This is only
a small listing of animals needing
help now, please contact your local
shelter on how you can
help. Not all shelters
list their pets as URGENT!
Also, help the pet overpopulation by
spaying/neutering your pets so that
their offspring don't end up getting
abused, neglected or on Death
Row.
Catahoula
Rescue - We are a national 501c3 rescue that
place Catahoula Leopard Dogs with
people like you who can help change
their lives forever. We need you.
These dogs come from high kill
shelters and we do our best to save
them all, but because of
overpopulation and back yard
breeders, we will never be able to
keep up. We need donations,
volunteers and Foster Homes! Monday’s
Dogs is a weekly newsletter that
showcases Catahoulas that need help.
They are all considered URGENT;
some of them will die THIS
WEEK if nobody steps forward to help them.

Mayfield, KY Mayfield/Graves
County Animal Shelter - Our major concern continues to be the
large number of unwanted animals in
our city and county. We are often
asked if we are a no kill shelter
and the answer is always "No,
but we would love to be". The
truth is that there are simply more
animals than there are homes for
them. We grieve for each and every
animal that is euthanized in our
shelter. Until pet owners take the
responsibility to insure that
animals do not continue to produce
unwanted litters of puppies and
kittens, the number of animals will
continue to grow much faster that
the number of homes available for
them. We urge all pet owners to spay
or neuter your pets and if you are
looking for a pet for your family,
please consider saving one from a
shelter. View some of the
animals we have for adoption HERE.
