Councilman Hudson wishes you a very Merry Christmas!
Have a happy and safe holiday season.
In response to the staggering rise in the number of pets seeking loving homes this holiday season, Louisville Metro Animal Services, #YourCityShelter, is delighted to announce the extension of free adoptions through the end of December 2023. The decision comes as the shelter faces an alarming surge of additional animals, highlighting the critical need to find homes for these animals and alleviate the strain on the shelter system.
Louisville Metro Animal Services recognizes the urgency of addressing this crisis and is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of these animals. By extending the free adoptions, the shelter aims to encourage community members to open their hearts and homes to a new furry friend during this season of hope.
“We adopted 112 dogs and 48 cats during Bissell Pet Foundations' Empty the Shelters Holiday Hope Event. In those two weeks, we took in 162 dogs,” says Director Book. “The continuation of our free adoptions is a crucial step in finding loving homes for these animals and ensuring that they have the chance to experience the joy of a family.”
Free adoptions include spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and a microchip. Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter to get matched with a new furry friend.
#Yourcityshelter is calling on the community to spread the word, volunteer their time, and consider adopting a homeless dog or cat in need. By working together, we can make a significant impact and give these animals the chance for a brighter future.
