In the meantime, these babies are safe—warm, cozy, and being bottle-fed by our team.

This morning, we received a call from a concerned citizen about a dog that appeared to have been hit by a car on Blazer Parkway. When our officer arrived, she believed the husky was actually coming out of a seizure and had not been injured in a vehicle accident.

The husky was safely brought back to the shelter for care. Shortly after, his owner called and confirmed that her dog, Kenai, experiences seizures and is on medication. Our team was then able to reunite the pair.

After quite the scare, we’re happy to report that Kenai is doing well and is back home where he belongs!

Case Update: Rosemary Ave Puppy

Last month, our officers responded to a welfare check on Rosemary Ave. Upon arrival, the puppy was found tied outside with no access to water or shelter. Most concerning was that the tether had become tangled around both a board and the puppy’s leg, leaving him unable to move and with a swollen limb.

The puppy was immediately removed from the home, brought to the shelter for care, and the owner was cited. We are happy to report that the owner has since been found guilty of the local cruelty to animals ordinance — and even better, this sweet pup has already found a new, loving home!

We want to thank the community members who speak up when they see neglect. You are the eyes and ears that help us protect Fayette County’s animals.

📞 If you witness animal cruelty or neglect, please call our dispatcher at 859-255-9033.

Ghost’s story is a reminder for us all…

Just because a dog is found loose, doesn’t mean they were dumped. Ghost had been missing since last November. The person who found him assumed he’d been abandoned and kept him, never filing a found report or checking for an owner.

Months later, Ghost was picked up running loose again and brought to the shelter. This time, he was scanned for a microchip—and his owner got the call she never thought would come. The reunion was absolutely beautiful.

Always file a found report and get pets scanned for a microchip. You never know what family might be searching.

Need a chip? We offer low-cost microchips for just $26.50. Stop by anytime between 12–2:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
