Applegate Lane Controlled Burn

Metro Government has established a website with information on the proposed controlled burn on Applegate Lane.  The EPA visited the house this week and all options are continuing to be accessed. 

The website contains a list of common questions Metro Government has been receiving about this situation, and it will continue to be updated as more information becomes available. That webpage can be found at: Applegate Safety Information.

"Dogust" Adoption Special

Dogust
LMAS

Metro Animal Services is committed to saving more lives by making every effort to find homes for our adoptable pets. When you adopt from LMAS, you will be rescuing a homeless pet from your community. LMAS has found homes for thousands of pets through free and donation-based adoption programs. 

LMAS adoptions are far less expensive than purchasing a pet from a breeder or other animal organizations. Our adoption package is worth at least $500 in savings. Spay/neuter surgery, microchip and up-to-date vaccinations are always included.

Choose from the largest selection of adoptable pets in the region. Meet our adoptable pets at Animal House Adoption Center. You can also visit one of our satellite locations: PetSmart (Outer Loop) and Lucky Cat Cafe & Lounge. LMAS also offers pet adoptions at community events throughout the year.  

LMAS Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter:
 3528 Newburg Road Louisville, KY 40218
 Monday – Saturday: 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
 Closed Sundays and some holidays.

BBB August Hot Topics

1. A consumer reported an adoption scam to BBB, stating that they paid over $1,000 for adoption services that were never provided, and that they did not receive a refund. They later learned the “agent” they were consulting with was not actually employed by an adoption agency. BBB advises consumers to research adoption agencies thoroughly, and to seek help from attorneys specializing in adoption if necessary.

BBB
  1. A consumer reported a scam call to BBB in which the caller claimed to represent the consumer’s health insurance company. The scammer requested personal information from the consumer. BBB advises consumers to be cautious with any unsolicited calls. Do not give out personal information; hang up and contact your insurance company directly to verify if the call is legitimate.
     
  2. BBB received a report of a Geek Squad invoice scam from a consumer. Invoice scams attempt to scare consumers into thinking they have been charged a large amount for a service or item they did not purchase; when the consumer calls the number on the fake invoice, a scammer then attempts to steal their personal or financial information. If you receive a suspicious invoice, do not call the number listed. Check your bank account or credit card statement for any unknown charges.
     
  3. A consumer reported receiving a scam text claiming to come from a lottery winner interested in sharing their winnings. This is a scam. Do not click on any links in unsolicited text messages, and do not give out your personal or financial information.
     
  4. A consumer was scammed by a fake Dick’s Sporting Goods website advertising a sale on Stanley cups. BBB warns consumers to be wary of ads for popular products when the price seems too good to be true. Rather than clicking on ads, visit the store’s website directly.
     
  5. A consumer reported a grant scam involving Facebook Messenger to BBB. The consumer received a message on Facebook stating that they were eligible for an $80,000 grant if they sent $500 via gift card. BBB reminds consumers that any loan, grant, or cash prize that requires an upfront payment is very likely a scam.
     
  6. A consumer reported a puppy scam to BBB. The consumer was later blocked by the seller. BBB advises consumers to always view a pet in person before purchasing, check a breeder’s reviews and credentials, and always pay with a credit card.
     
  7. BBB has received several reports from consumers involving employment scams. One red flag the scams share is that a scammer pretending to be a recruiter asks the victim to download an app to conduct an interview. BBB warns job-hunting consumers to research companies first and to be wary of unusual interview tactics.
     
  8. BBB continues to receive reports of scammers claiming to represent Publishers Clearing House. As a reminder, Publishers Clearing House does not contact their sweepstakes winners by phone or text, and any sweepstakes that demands a fee upfront in order to claim a prize is a scam.
     
  9. A business owner reported a vanity award scam to BBB. If you are alerted that you or your company is the recipient of an award, research the organization before accepting. Scammers will try to get victims to pay for meaningless plaques or trophies in this scam.
