The coldest weather of the season is on its way to the Louisville area. With single-digit temperatures and sub-zero windchill predicted over the next several days, The Arrow Fund, Inc., a local animal protection group, and Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) announces a partnership to provide potentially life-saving straw for those animals that cannot be brought inside or provided with heavily insulated and/or heated shelter. The Arrow Fund purchased and donated the straw currently being distributed to the public for free until supply runs out at the LMAS Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter located at 3528 Newburg Road.

“A dog or cat left outdoors in this extremely cold weather will suffer tremendously and most likely die without proper, well-insulated shelter. Properly placed straw can help protect both cats and dogs from hypothermia, frostbite, and death,” said Jessica Brotzge, president of The Arrow Fund.
“A simple wooden doghouse or a plastic Igloo-type house is not going to protect your pet, “she warned. “The strategic placement of straw inside a doghouse or cat shelter can make the difference between life and death.”
“Not every pet can be kept inside so it is important to provide adequate shelter with proper protection from the elements,” said Ashley Book, interim director of LMAS. “By providing straw for pet owners who need it, we are fulfilling our mission to serve the citizens of Louisville and ensure the humane treatment of domesticated animals.”
Pet owners can pick up straw Monday – Saturday from 12-6 p.m. at the LMAS Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter (3528 Newburg Road).
Cold weather tips include:
- Do not keep pet outside for long periods of time
- Shelter floor should be off the ground (to minimize heat loss into the ground) with thick, dry bedding such as straw (not blankets)
- Position shelter doors away from winds
- Space heaters and heat lamps should be avoided because of the risk of burns or fire
Heated pet mats should be used with caution because they also are capable of causing burns

Auto Theft in the 7th Division have gone up the past couple weeks. This time of year we usually see an increase in auto thefts due to people leaving their cars running in the colder weather. |
LMPD's 7th division wants to remind you that while it is tempting to warm up cars on a cold morning or run into the gas station really quick while leaving the car running, these opportunities are quickly capitalized on by those looking for cars to steal. We are currently organizing some details in the 7th to address these issues, but the officers can’t be everywhere and need help getting the message out.
1. DO NOT leave running cars unattended!
2. LOCK your doors.
3. REMOVE keys and valuables from your cars.
Thank you all for your support and assistance in keeping our neighborhoods safe!
- A local consumer contacted BBB saying he received a call from a scam artist posing as LG&E, saying his electric was going to be cut off in 30 minutes unless he went to a kiosk near his home and paid cash. At the same time, the consumer’s wife got on the phone with LG&E directly, only to find out it was a scam. Don’t fall for it!
- In another utility scam, a local consumer reported getting a call from a scam artist posing as the Louisville Water Company, advising that she was past-due on her water bill and her water would be turned off in 30 minutes if she did not purchase a MoneyPak, load $100 on the card, and call back with the card information for payment.

3. BBB Scam Tracker reports show that several local consumers have received phone calls from what seem to be local banks offering personal loans. They say the bank offers the loan, then asks for payment upfront for insurance, closing costs, and taxes for the IRS. Don’t fall for it. It is a scam!
4. Don’t fall for debt collection scams! Several local consumers reported to BBB Scam Tracker that they received calls from “Easy Cash” saying they owed money. The callers asked for personal information, including social security numbers. Hang up!
5. Realtors are reporting to BBB that scammers who are posing as owners of listed properties are contacting contractors to paint/remove trees from vacant properties listed on the MLS. Scammers want banking account numbers to wire payment for the job.
6. Consumers who are waiting for Covid-19 vaccines report they are receiving calls from scammers who pretend to be an “agent” with the “Vaccination Distribution Committee,” saying they are calling to talk about getting your vaccine “now before the general public.” The scammer asks for personal information. Don’t fall for it.
7. BBB Warns – do NOT post your COVID-19 vaccination card on social media! While you would like to share the good news, it could also put you at risk for identity theft. The card has your full name, birthday, and where you got your vaccine, allowing scammers to take the information, or use it to help create fake vaccination cards and sell them.
8. Don’t fall for a spoofed email that appears to be from your friend or colleague! An email came into BBB from a colleague, saying he was away visiting his friend’s daughter, who tested positive for coronavirus, and is in isolation. While away, he needs your help getting a Google Play Gift Card for his niece, whose birthday he is going to miss because he is out of town.
9. If you have a concealed weapon carry permit, beware of texts and email messages saying your permit needs to be changed or updated. Scammers are using the tactic to gain information on gun owners and/or to steal money for supposed amendments. Don’t click on any links!
10. It’s February, and love is in the air, but beware of romance scams! If your potential love interest postpones meeting you in person, asks you to send them money, or only wants to chat by email or text, you may be dealing with a scammer instead of a new love.
