October is nationally recognized as Domestic
Violence Awareness & Prevention Month
a time to celebrate survivors, honor those who have died, raise
awareness, and confirm our commitment to preventing intimate partner violence
in our community.
This year we are including our furry friends in Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Did you know that 68% of women experiencing domestic
violence also reported their partner was violent towards their animals?
We are featuring our Safe Haven Program through our partnership with the
Kentucky Humane Society all month long. The Safe Haven Program offers
safe foster homes for pets of domestic violence survivors who are in need of
shelter.
Learn more about our Safe
Haven program on our website or visit www.khs.com. We have free posters, flyers and an info card you can download and print to
help bring awareness to pets affected by domestic violence.

Louisville is now a Nextdoor city. You'll soon be able to find
city information related to your specific neighborhood on the website at www.nextdoor.com
or on the company's mobile application. It creates private social networks
for conversations within neighborhoods that cannot be seen by other areas,
and allows the city to direct information to those neighborhoods. Metro
Police was the first city department to use the service to deliver targeted
information. Public Works and other departments will soon follow. In the
meantime, Louisville residents can register at Nextdoor to join the
conversations that may already be going on among their neighbors.
