Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter

Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter A 501c3 tax-exempt organization with the mission of supporting the Hardin County Animal Shelter. We are a 501c3 public charity!

Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter was formed in January 2014 to support the shelter by providing materials/equipment that is outside of the shelter's budget, organize and run adoption specials throughout each month and to assist the shelter in educating the community about responsible pet ownership. Donations can be made to Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter and 100% of the funds will b

e used to fulfill our mission. We have no paid employees, just volunteers willing to work for the pets of our county. All donations to our group are tax-exempt!

Please be on the lookout for a scared dog that has been lost while on rescue transport. This is NOT our transport group but we are cross-posting to spread the word since they were traveling through this area and we know for sure they must be worried sick.

We don’t have any information beyond what is in the photo. Please call the numbers listed with the photo if you spot this scared guy.

Can we talk about Adoptable Tula for a second?

Sometimes, we volunteers walk in to the shelter and a dog catches us square in the feels. Enter Tula.

This 5 y/o, 32lb beagle mix is a sweet, timid girl who needs to be close. As you can see by the photos, a full body pic is a no-go because you get anywhere in her vicinity and she is going to be inside your bubble.

This darling girl needs a safe forever home that will spoil her like the queen she is meant to be. We suspect it will be the first time she’s known that kind of life.

Be the first in line at the Hardin Co Animal Shelter 220 Peterson Dr in E’town at noon on Tuesday (2/18 - watch for potential closing due to road flooding conditions).

These photos show you the full range of Adoptable Juliette. The first pic - before - is just hanging out and not being loved on or seeing anyone. Her life is devoid of meaning.

Then the second photo - someone came into Pet Supplies Plus - and Juliette is in her happy place.

Juliette is a people dog. She adores every single person she meets. Need a best friend, someone to adore you, someone who wants to spend every moment of their time with you? This girl is your girl.

She didn’t get her forever today, but we’re sure her human has a Juliette-shaped hole in their life.

Meet her at the Hardin Co Animal Shelter 220 Peterson Dr in E’town M-Sat 12-4pm (closed 2/17 for the holiday)

Adoptable Hollywood unfortunately did not start his forever today. He made lots of new friends and finished a particularly good busy bone, but is forever family did not come.

This gorgeous 5y/o boxer/lab mix is a medium-sized guy who really just wants to be loved. He is interested in other dogs and got along with his fellow adoptable at the event, though we always encourage a meet and greet for any potential fur siblings.

A shelter kennel is not a good place for this guy, he does much better when he is out interacting with his humans. We know you would fall in love if you go by the shelter and give this guy a chance.

Join us tomorrow at Pet Supplies Plus - Elizabethtown, KY 12:30-3pm for our adoption event!

We have an all-star line up of Adoptable Juliette (yes, she was returned, more on that*) and Adoptable Hollywood.

Juliette is a 3y/o shepherd/hound mix
Hollywood is a 5y/o lab/boxer mix

Both are super glad to meet humans and other dogs. And both are SO in need of a for real forever.

*Juliette’s former adopter had cats and found that was no simpatico. No worries, Juliette is still an amazing dog, just not in a home with cats.

The puppy mill bill is back on the table for the Sen Ag Committee and would 1. Overrule our local ordinance passed by our votes and 2. Allow puppy milled dogs and cats to be sold in pet stores.

This bill only benefits backyard breeders. Hardin Co pet stores already offer pet adoptions through local shelters/rescues and reputable breeders won’t be impacted.

Please call right now and share the heck out of this so they hear us loud and clear! We defeated this last year, we can do it again!
