  Cat of the Week:
One Eyed Ollie is ready for a furever home! Before coming to the shelter poor Ollie’s eye was injured, so it had to be removed. Ollie was placed with a foster family until he healed and ready to be adopted.
He’s a shy kitten and according to our vet staff, ‘spicy’, so there won’t be any dull moments this 5-month-old. One Eyed Ollie’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter, thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. Ollie’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Ollie is friendly with other cats and dog testing is available by request. For more info about Ollie, call 502-473-PETS. Meet One Eyed Ollie at Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily. To view all adoptable cats at LMAS, click here.

Dog of the Week:
A teenage goofball with lots of personality, that’s what was on CK Dexter Haven’s field trip report. He had a blast spending a day outside of the shelter which included visiting a park and a pet store. He was a very good boy during his outing and proved he’s a tug-o-war champ. CK’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter and included is one-year free membership to Club K9 Dog Bar. Ck is an approximately one-year-old American Staffordshire mix who weighs 54 lbs. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. CK gets along great with other dogs, but he needs a cat-free home. For more info about CK, email animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov. Meet CK Dexter Haven from at Animal House Adoption Center (3516 Newburg Road). . To view all adoptable dogs at LMAS, click here.
