Helping Animals Left Orphaned, Inc. H.A.L.O. is a not profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to saving homeless shelter dogs. Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing.

What We Do: In addition to rescuing animals at imminent risk of being euthanized, H.A.L.O. also works closely with affiliate rescues to save as many death row animals as possible by offering pledges for vetting, medical care, transportation services, supplies, temporary fostercare, emergency respite, networking and other services. Why We’re Important: Each year, approximately 2.7 million healthy,

adoptable animals are euthanized. Numbers this large are often difficult to conceptualize but its eye-opening statistics like this that inspire us to rescue animals. We liken our small organization to the young man in the Starfish parable and believe until there are none, save one.

“One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”. The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?” The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”

How We Impact the Community: We help families find livelong companion animals and promote responsible pet ownership by ensuring all of our animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. We are not only advocates against animal abuse, but are also advocates against domestic abuse. Our passions for people and paws have us working diligently to secure adequate funding, space and resources to provide temporary care of animals for families that are fleeing domestic violence.

I owe everyone an apology. I promised I would post an adoptable dog every day. You have no idea how busy it is here. Plus, every day there is an unforeseen problem that must be solved. By the end of the day, I am too exhausted to do anything. I will try to do better.
This is today's dog. Her name is Lemon Drop. She is a spayed female, mixed breed, and the sweetest girl. She loves attention and loves to play. She is energetic but not out of control. She is 1 1/2 years old.

Tonight, we want to share a very common for not only us, but rescues around the country right now. We are DESPERATELY seeking new foster homes!

We currently have three dogs in boarding right now, and Nadine has been sitting on our wait list awaiting a foster offer for over a year now.

As we have posted about before, we had to make the very difficult decision to close our intake just over a month ago, meaning we cannot commit to ANYMORE dogs until we can recruit some Fosters and raise some money to care for our many medical cases (in addition to the cost of general care)!

Lately, we have received a few generous donations to help us get back on our feet and pay down our growing medical bills as we pay for Gucci and Euclid’s ongoing heartworm treatment. This also allows us to pay for boarding for our current rescue dogs lacking foster homes.

However, our biggest holdback to reopening intake is the severe lack of available foster homes. We are a completely foster-based organization, meaning we do not have a kennel or permanent location in which we can house dogs. Without fosters, we do not have a rescue. It is not helpful to the dogs we pull into rescue to take them from a shelter just to move them to a boarding kennel, and is not something we can afford long-term, either.

If you have ever considered opening your home to a foster dog, we really need long-term fosters for our dogs in boarding. Nibs, Peaches, and Joel all need committed, long term fosters, and we cannot save another dog from a shelter or otherwise until these three have a foster home or adopter.

If you’d like to learn more about any of our dogs, they are all listed in our website and PetFinder. Fostering is FREE, as we provide all vetting, food, a crate, a collar, leash, and even toys/treats as they are donated to us! If you’d like to open your home to a dog in need, you can apply to foster through the link in our bio!

LMAS was saved from euthanizing animals for the first time in 5 years because our community stepped up to adopt and foster. We have open kennels but just like summer, our struggle is not over. WE NEED MORE FOSTER HOMES FOR LARGE BREED DOGS. This need will not end this week, or next. It's never ending. Here's insight from our foster coordinator, Stephanie Jackson...

"Summers keep shelter employees in a constant state of panic, pivot, 0.04 second breath, panic, cry, scream, pivot, cry, argue, beg, Panic. Panic. Panic."

"Snacks and smiles can only go so far when every day there is a pit in your stomach knowing you could come in and today be the day a shelter pet you love is at risk.

We are overflowing with large dogs and desperately need folks to open their minds to fostering large dogs.

Yes, your apartment is the perfect size for a large breed dog. Is there a couch? Patch of grass outside somewhere? You can do it. You can do anything!

Yes, your dog or cat may give you the stink eye for a few days. You can do it. You can do anything!

Yes, you will fall in love and it will be hard to let them go. You can let go.
You can also not let go and keep them. That's okay too. You can do anything.

Yes, we will ask you to keep them another day or two because a hoarding case came in and we are out of space again. You can do it.

Yes, most of our population appears to be "bully breed" dogs. They are good dogs.
Yes, most of the cats we have are sick, broken, scared. They are good cats.

Yes, the kittens will need to be in foster for a month longer because our surgery schedule is full.

You can do it. You can do anything!

We will provide crates, leash/collar/harness, food, toys, vet care. We provide dog/dog introduction information, behavior assistance, emergency care. We are here to support you through the challenges.

It's a long Kentucky summer. Our pleas won't stop. We do not want to euthanize for space.

What are we to do with all these large dogs if our community doesn't step in to foster and adopt? We ebb and flow. We aren’t heroes. We are bleeding hearts fighting to solve a problem we did not create. We know we can’t fix it, but we will kick and scream as we continue to claw a pathway.

Help your communities homeless pets."

Give a warm welcome to Petey! This American Pit Bull Terrier mix is as goofy as they come. 60-pound Petey arrived at the Kentucky Humane Society after a rural shelter ran out of room. We could tell that he was an absolute good boy that just needed a second chance! Upon arriving, we quickly discovered Petey was deaf. Sometimes that happens with white pitties, so we weren't very surprised. However, we also found a grade 6 heart murmur. That was a bit unexpected! Our medical team ran tests and determined that Petey has a congenital defect called VSD, which is causing the murmur. Petey is coping very well and acts like a normal, friendly, excited one-year-old. But it's important for his new family to follow-up with their veterinarian so that the defect can be monitored as Petey grows. This sweet guy hasn't let his diagnosis stop him from enjoying life. He loves hiking and exploring and has been a great "date" dog. He likes the company of other dogs and will chase and play. Petey's also been learning things like how to settle in a crate and has learned some basic behaviors. His adoption includes a supplemented training session with a private trainer. All he's missing is a family to join him! Petey is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his shots.
