Our goal is to place every animal who comes to us either directly into loving homes or by transferring to rescue groups for placement. Because we are also the animal control entity for Logan County that is not always possible due to receiving severely injured, sick, neglected, hit by car animals, and aggressive animals who pose a threat to the welfare of Logan County citizens.  

  • In 2020, through donations from our animal heroes we were able to treat 10 dogs for heartworms: Banjo, Al Capone, Cierra, Molly, Knox, Baby Girl, Trey, Brooks, BoBo, and Daisy. We cannot save heartworm positive dogs without continued donations from our supporters.  Please keep your dogs on preventative.  It is so much cheaper to prevent than to treat. 

  • 80% is considered no-kill. Our goal for 2021 is 90% placement which is the new standard by 2025.  We think we can do it sooner with spay/neuter surgery and owner support to prevent surrender through education regarding spay/neuter, the importance of heartworm prevention, and basic animal care including the dangers of allowing animals to roam free.
  • We only euthanize aggressive animals who cannot be safely placed in a home due to aggression toward humans/other animals, animals that are too sick/injured to cure, or as recommended by a veterinarian. 
  • We are required by KRS to hold dogs for 5 days for reclaim. We typically hold for 7 days.  We give our animals more than 8 days to settle into the shelter and with us.  We sometimes work with dogs for weeks or months in order to make them adoptable, but if they are still showing aggression after that time, we cannot place them with a home where they could be a threat to humans or other animals. 
  • Diagnostic testing such as heartworm testing(dog) or FIV-Felv testing(cats) may also determine whether they are considered treatable. Once a cat is spay/neutered FIV is rarely transmittable, but Felv is contagious to other cats.​​​
