Last Thursday, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department and Lexington Animal Care & Control partnered to host a rabies clinic at Douglas Park!

We’re happy to share that over 100 pets received their rabies vaccine at the clinic.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped keep our pets — and our community — safe and healthy!

One-week-old puppies were allegedly abandoned, in a box, outside an apartment complex the evening of September 6.

If we find out who is responsible, we will file criminal charges.

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

If you have any information about who abandoned them, please contact our cruelty investigator at 859-255-9033 extension 229.

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!
