🐾⭐️Good night tonight from Gwen! 🥱🥱
At only three months old, she is the perfect age to start teaching tricks and learning all of her best Doggo skills.🦮🎾🍖
We know that she would thrive better in a home with love than sitting here in a kennel, wondering about her future? 🥺

Could you help us to help Gwen tonight by sharing this post? 🥰

If interested, we would love ❤️to have you to come meet her. You can fill out an application online you can give us a call ☎️for any questions you may have. 😍

Heyyy friends!
As the holidays are approaching we always try our very best to include all our shelter animals in holidays. We are asking for items to create a thanksgiving dinner for all our cats and dogs. We have around 60 cats and 80-90 dogs as of right now. These numbers fluctuate!

Our dinner will be held on November 26th, so we need these items before or on November 25th. (Anything left over will be used for our scheduled Christmas meal for them as well.)

The Leitchfield Animal Shelter will be CLOSED this day, (it’s a Tuesday 😉) but our staff will be having a Friendsgiving and making this special treat for our pets as they deserve it as well as the rest of us. 🍗🥔🥐🌽🫑🍗

🍂 Fall in Love with Payson! 🍂

Meet Payson, a sweet and lovable girl who is ready to find her forever home! She is 7 months old and believe to be a heeler mix.
🍁 This gorgeous girl is enjoying the crisp fall air while frolicking in the leaves — but she’s dreaming of the warmth of a family to call her own.

Payson is:

✅ Housebroken
✅ Crate trained
✅ Great with dogs, cats, and kids of all ages!

She’s the perfect addition to any home, with a loving, gentle personality that’s ready to bring joy to your family. Whether it’s cozying up on chilly evenings or playing in the backyard during the day, Payson will be right there by your side.

If you’re looking for a furry friend who is great with everyone, has the perfect temperament, and is ready to settle into a home just in time for the holidays, Payson is the one for you! 🐾

Payson is currently living in a foster home so please call ahead to schedule a meet and greet that works best for you and her foster.

🐾 Meet Rollie – The Brave 3-Legged Wonder Dog 🐾

This is Rollie, a BIG hearted boy who just turned 3 years old in September! 💙 He's a Great Dane mix with three legs, but don’t let that fool you – Rollie gets around just fine and loves life to the fullest! 🐾

Rollie’s journey hasn’t been easy. He lost his leg after being shot when he was younger, but that hasn’t stopped him from being a loving and playful pup. He was once deeply loved by his owner, but after a heartbreaking situation, Rollie ended up abandoned in October when his owner’s ex took over his care. For a month, Rollie was left to roam from house to house, until he finally ended up at Leitchfield Animal Shelter, where he’s now safe and ready for his forever home.

This gentle giant is all about love, but he doesn’t always realize just how big he is! He can play a little rough with smaller animals, so he’d do best in a home with bigger, more tolerant dogs. Don’t worry, he’s got a heart of gold and is a total cuddler with his humans. 🥰

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s full of energy, affection, and resilience, Rollie might just be the perfect fit for you! He’s got plenty of life left to live, and all he needs is a family that will love and care for him forever.

Rollie is ready to meet you!

Contact the Leitchfield Animal Shelter at 270-230-8839 for more information or to set up a meet and greet! 🏡✨

💙 Please help us spread the word by sharing this post. Let’s find Rollie the loving home he deserves!

🐾 He’s been through so much, but his future is still bright – with your love, it can be even brighter!

Hey guys! My name is Cold Brew🥶☕️
I’ve been working on some new poses for my petfinder profile. Do you think this makes me look even cuter? I hear some people like silly goofy cats so I thought I’d try upside down🤪

Check me & my friends out, I got lots of them!
las.petfinder.com
P.s. we are fixed!

If you wanna take one of us home, you can put your application in at leitchfieldanimalshelter.com & my peasants - OOPS, I mean caretakers will get in contact with ya! 😬🤭

UPDATE: *Pending Adoption*
As Honey Bee closes her eyes, she imagines a familiar figure approaching, a gentle hand reaching out to her with that unmistakable warmth she so longs for. The sound of a comforting voice rings in her ears, and she envisions herself running across a sunlit field, her tail wagging in joy.☀️

But as she opens her eyes, revealing her surroundings, the harsh reality of where she is brings back the memories of losing her beloved owner. She desperately wishes the memories of what her life once was and what it could still be, turns back into reality. The hope of a new family swells within her—a hope that perhaps today will be the day she finds a gentle soul willing to give her a chance. With a deep breath, Honey stands, ready to greet the world, even if it means carrying the weight of her memories with her.🐾💭

Honey Bee is a spayed female. Our best guess is that she is a Lab mix who is a little over one year old. She is fully grown, weighing in around 45lb. Honey loves other dogs and all people she meets. 🍯🐝

Belladonna is 15 years old and recently found herself with us after the death of her forever human. Although she is 15, she is still wanting to live life to her fullest. Being a mostly outside dog - she really isn’t enjoying the shelter right now. Please help us find this senior girl a home!

‼️‼️warning ‼️‼️ We were notified of a possible vicious intake! We were getting prepared and when Todd pulled up with this, we laughed! Meet Courage a little pup who thinks he is bigger than he is. We would love to find a foster or adopter soon to let him know “it’s okay to be a kid!” He is about 2 months old and he is part lion and part velociraptor! Apply today!

Terrific Tuesday comes from Jorren! Please take a second to watch his video! He is a 6 month old, 35 pound bestest boy! We found out this weekend how truly smart this guy is! He will sit but is very treat motivated and will learn new tricks easily. He definitely wants to please a human. If he makes you smile, please consider sharing!

UPDATE: Adopted!! Meet Adventure! This boy is proof why we we that every home needs a lab! At 1.5 years he has perfected loyalty, obedience, and cleaning his bowl. All he wants is love and acceptance with a touch of affection. He weighs about 65 pounds but it is all legs and tail. Please don’t just scroll by without helping him. He just ask for a share or a like 👍, maybe a ❤️. Just a second of your time! Come meet Adventure and go for a walk! Today is supposed to be beautiful 😍

Ringworm isn’t fun but I don’t want to be stuck in the cage! Will someone foster me or adopt me and help me get all cleared up? I’m tiny but have a big heart (and maybe a big attitude too)

Feeling lucky 🎰🍀?? Maybe you don’t realize how lucky 🍀you are!!! You have one Pike!! A 10 month old doggo with a heart ❤️the size of New York! He is very loving, playful, and affectionate! You need to come meet him this weekend! Please don’t let Pike down! 🥹
