This 3-year-old American Bulldog mix has an outgoing, laidback personality and is an oversized sweetheart! Mudflap enjoys experiencing new surroundings. During a recent foster field trip, this handsome boy enjoyed a visit to the store, playing in the backyard and sunbathing. He loves being active, chill time and cuddle sessions. All he needs is a forever home!  You can adopt Mudflap for free with our Pay It Forward Program.  Apply online at louisvilleky.gov/animalservices. You can meet Mudflap at Animal House Adoption center, Tuesday-Sunday 12-6pm. Questions can be emailed to  animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov, or call 473-PETS.

KD, FEMALE CAT 

Shy KD still has a lot to learn. She’s just six months old. KD likes quiet, darks spaces, and needs home where she has several places to hide when she’s feeling shy. KD is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption is free this month with an approved application! You can apply online at louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.  To meet this sweet, shy girl, visit Animal House Adoption Center located at 3516 Newburg Rd.
