12:30PM update on 11/15/24 ALL DOODLE PUPPIES IN THIS PHOTO HAVE BEEN SPOKEN FOR.

We've been dilly dallyin' on our doodlin'
We're in now in our Dilly Doodlin' era but still unsure of the doodle hype. 😜😜😜

First come, first serve.
Freshly groomed and bathed, approximately 8 months old. Great with other dogs, some have pretty gnarly ear infections we're treating that will need continued care due to previous neglect. They will need brushed often and 6-8 week grooms to prevent matting.

Come get em, $1 adoptions- all pups will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.

Tina Eat the Food(F), Ma###ed Out(M), Tarvarus Ten Toes(M), Crispin Cooly(M), and San De Doo Dull (F)

Why do we ask for dog toys so often?
Because these dogs LOVE to make em squeek until they can't squeek no more!

Meridan has put laughing chickens on her wishlist.

Order shelter dogs toys online and get them sent straight to their kennels!
Okay, not really but pretty dang close! https://a.co/4pisD4z
We accept clean, gently used toys with no openings or stuffing falling out. The dogs ask the squeeker be intact, plz. 😜 Donations accepted daily, noon-6pm or left under the covered entry if we aren't open to ATTN TOYS, LMAS 3516/3528 Newburg Rd Louisville, KY 40218

Kittens stay p**ping in their carriers to and from vaccine appointments!! It's always a stinky ol' mess.

FoMa Katie shares, "POV: you 💩 in the carrier on the way home from getting vaccines and you all have to take a sink bath 🤮"

Sign up to foster and let some kittens p**p in their carrier in your car too! https://louisvilleky.gov/government/animal-services/services/foster-care

It ain't always gucci but it is Gravy Baby!!! A shy and timid girl, she prefers to melt in your lap. Your warmness is her comfort. The moment you pet her, she rolls over on her back to give you her belly.
Gravy Baby continues to make progress in her confidence at the shelter but we know she would prefer to be in a home filled with love and patience.

Gravy Baby is around 2yrs old. She prefers a home with kids 5yrs and up and wants to meet her new doggy friends by walking with them on leash before just being set free in the home. We can help you with that here at Animal House.
Gravy Baby's adoption fee is $1 until November 22nd. She will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption.
Ask us about fostering to adopt!!!

Back in August these two pups were confiscated. When asked the pups names, Officers were told "girl 1 and girl 2."
Since then, they've gained weight, some confidence, lost the parasites, and given names Tawny &Buffy.

Their FoMa shares, "Tawny and Buffy love being outside and their favorite game is keep away. After a pretty rough start in life, they can still be a little nervous of somethings but are getting braver everyday. They have enjoyed going on walks and love chewies and treats.
These two look like giants in the pics, but that's because their heads are about three sizes too big for their bodies. They are actually a couple of short stacks. They are on the lookout for their happily ever after."

Tawny is a light brown brindle with a white strip down her head and a white muzzle with freckles. Buffy is a blue brindle with some white on her chest. They are both 7 months old. They are spayed, vaccinated, microchipped. Their adoption fees are $1 each until November 30th.

Big thank you to their Foster Mama's Lu & Pam.

"A community cat looks to have been set on fire!" Words we never want to read or hear from our caretakers. Ofc Vance responded to the call and found a beautiful orange, ear-tipped cat with a "charred tail and inflamed skin around." The caretaker who called him in had never seen him prior to that day.
Our vet staff has been treating his tail and made the decision we need to amputate.

Lucky Rabbit's Foot is his name now. He is getting his tail amputated today.
He is incredibly sweet . He proudly shows you how well he's taken care of his tail while waits, backing himself up on me to get it closer to my face LOL- cats, man.

Whatever happened, we know he is a lucky cat to be seen by a caretaker in Louisville and brought to our shelter.

Send LRF good vibes for his surgery and healing today!

Lucky Rabbit's Foot will be available for adoption shortly after his amputation. If you're interested in learning more about Lucky Rabbit's Foot, email us [email protected]

Our Story

In October 2019, the Louisville Metro Animal Services Animal Care Complex relocated to 3528 Newburg Rd, replacing the outdated Manslick facilty that opened in 1966, and combined all metro animal-related services on one campus. On average, the LMAS Shelter receives an average of more than 7,500 animals annually. Thousands enter the shelter as a result of service requests from the community, the public turning in strays and many are surrendered by their owners for a variety of reasons.

The new home of LMAS is located next to our Animal House Adoption Center at 3516 Newburg Road where you can visit daily to meet adoptable pets. LMAS offers free and donation-based adoptions, and the largest selection of adoptable pets in the region. The Pay It Forward Program makes it possible for LMAS to waive adoption fees for ertain shelters. Approved adopters can adopt any cat, 6 months and older or adult dog that weighs 40 lbs. for free. Every adoption includes spay/neuter, microchi and vaccinations.

View adoptable pets at Animal House daily from 12-6pm, no appointment necessary. If you can’t find a new, furry friend at Animal House, visit the shelter next door to meet more adoptable pets.

LMAS also offers periodic low-cost Rabies vaccination clinics, microchipping for $25 and pet licensing services. Visit our website for more information: louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.
