Thanks Great American Cookie and Janelle for hanging out with us at Nulu Hallouween! 🐕🦞 We hope you find your furever home soon! Available at Louisville Metro Animal Services

Here’s what Janelle had to say about him:

Great American Cookie and I went to the NULU Halloween festival and parade. He got lots of attention and interest. So fingers crossed we have some meet and greet coming up!

He did really well with all the attention, kids and noise(bands, cars revving). I was very proud of him. He was a lobster for the parade. Everybody loved it!

Thank You Autumn Crisp, the MAS dog that came to the Pumpkin Spice 5k 🐕‍🦺🎃

*UPDATE*: Congratulations on finding your furever home!

Here’s what Autumn Crisp’s bestie had to say about him:

He ignored the people around us, more interested in sniffing the tree line. He prefers to walk on the left. He was excited to greet people when he interacting with others.

He is food motivated, gentle with taking the treat when focused.

Given allll the different types of people, kids, costumes, dogs, and other fun things he did not lunge or show aggression.

If he had his way he would probably crawl into your skin to snuggle you closer. Loves to lick your hands and face if the opportunity presented itself.

Great in the car ✅

Quick to “sit” ✅

VERY friendly ✅

3 year old & 1 year old approved ✅

Will wear a costume ✅

Happy & engaged ✅

Thanks, Chip! We are grateful for you and the donors at Menard’s helping out MAS! The shelter is so lucky to have you on their side 🐈‍⬛🐕💙

We are so grateful for our community partners!
Foster, Volunteer, and Adopter Chip organized a donation drive at Menards. He got all his buds together and collected a box full of much needed items from our wish list, plus a load of food. Not only that, but he painted the box and took photos of adoptable pets to promote.
We couldn't do what we do here without the support of our community!
