Featured Pet Of The Week

"BELLA" is my name.

Isn't my coloring gorgeous?
That's because I'm a Catahoula Leopard Dog.
I'm a sweet, friendly PUPPY.
I like to be close to you.
I get spooked easily, but will out-grow that when I have my furever home.
I'm 8 months old and weigh 50 lbs, so I'm going to be a big dog.
But you can overlook my size because I'm gentle.
I need a home soon.

I'm "ROXANNE".

I'm a long-haired brown tabby cat.
I came to the shelter with my babies.
Now they are weaned and we're all ready to find homes of our own.

~*~*~ NEW ACORN FUND ~*~*~
Please help the acorn fund grow!!   

A new Acorn Fund with the Community Foundation of Madison & Jefferson County named "Friends of the Jefferson County Animal Shelter Endowment" has been started by an animal shelter supporter. An Acorn Fund allows someone to start an endowment with less than the $5000 minimum, and add to it in a reasonable amount of time until it reaches the $5000 goal. After that goal has been reached, GRANTS CAN BE MADE DIRECTLY TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER! Anyone can add any amount to this fund at any time. Contact the Community Foundation at 265-3327 or e-mail: jeffcom@cfmjc.org for more information.

POSTER DOG FOR MICROCHIPPING
   "HANDSOME" aka "CARTER'

I know that I am quite the good looking guy,
which is why the shelter named me Handsome.
What they didn't know was that my REAL NAME is Carter
and that my home is in KENTUCKY.
I went for a ride one day with a STRANGER
and ended up lost and abandoned in INDIANA.
Luckily, even though noone adopted me
a special person gave me a foster home.
5 MONTHS later, a friend of my mom saw me on this website.
Mom came and took me back home!!!
If I had been MICROCHIPPED, I could have gone back home right away.

THE MORAL OF MY STORY: Please microchip your pets!!!
We'll come back home much sooner that way.
I really liked my foster mom & dad, but I'm happy to be back home!

"BU"--THE SHELTER CAT
NOT available for adoption   

I hang out here and make sure things go smoothly.
I get my head scratches.
I get kitty treats.
I get loved on.
I love to help fill out paperwork!
I also try to re-assure all of the new residents, and let them know they are going to be safe & warm now.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
   

Dogs come to the shelter with sad stories that they can't tell us.
The only way we know is because they are shy & fearful of people.
These dogs need a safe place to learn that all people aren't scarey
and that they can trust us.
However, the shelter is often not the environment they respond to.
These special dogs need a foster home.
Won't you please consider opening your heart and home to them.
This is not an adoption.
Just a temporary home until they recuperate from their past.
