Communication
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Out mission is to build a no kill Louisville, where no adoptable animal is euthanized because of resources, space, or economics. Animals are put down in our city shelters due to lack of space. Our work is geared to getting those adoptable animals out of the shelter, into foster care, until they can be adopted, thus giving space for new animals to enter the shelter without putting the currently housed animals at risk.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Pet Food Bank
Providing free pet food to low or no income families to keep their pets at home and out of our shelters.
Foster/Adoption Program
We pull homeless animals that are at risk of euthanasia from shelters and place them info foster care until they are adopted to forever homes.
Fixing the Future
When grants or donations are available, we will offer low cost or free spay/neuter surgeries for low or no income families. Fixing unaltered animals prevents unwanted litters and reduces the amount of animals that are surrendered to shelters.

We communicate well, are committed to seeing our goals through, and are dedicated to the life saving work. Our volunteers offer a variety of skills which help us continue successful programs to save more animals lives.
