Here is Rosie- a beautiful shepherd mix. She’s good with other dogs and a very nice girl that is getting overlooked for too long. We hope you all can help us share Rosie!
Â
Rosie spent two months at the shelter without a break. Volunteer AnnaMaria changed that today with Rosie’s first field trip adventure!
“ She easily hopped into my vehicle. Did well on the car ride. We walked a trail in Clarksville, Indiana and she did well on the leash with no pulling. She knows sit and down commands. She’s very affectionate and loves to be pet. She enjoyed a pup cup just before dropping her off. Hope this girl finds her forever home soon ”
Â
Rosie is around 4-ys old, keeps her kennel clean, and does well with other dogs on leash.
Rosie is hopeful you’ll see her pretty face & fall in love.

 Save birds this fall: Participate in the Lights Out Louisville program!
You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S. due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings?
With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a local conservation program sponsored by the Louisville Audubon Society aims to change that. The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it:
This September and October, simply do what you can to reduce artificial light at night. It’s as easy as turning off nonessential lights both indoors and outside and closing blinds, shades, or curtains between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. during these months.
By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest fall-migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys. —With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time! Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org/go-lights-out/ for more tips on how you can save migrating birds or to learn more.
If you decide to go Lights Out, you can help Louisville Audubon track the program’s impact across our city: Simply fill out a short form as a resident/homeowner, or on behalf of your business or a commercial facility you own/operate. It takes less than 1 minute, and it costs nothing. Business and commercial supporters will be promoted on the Lights Out Louisville website and on social media.
You can find both forms at www.lightsoutlouisville.org/go-lights-out/.
The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for choosing to go Lights Out!
     
The Friends of the Louisville Zoo is thrilled to announce tickets for their newest fundraising event — Skelebration — are now on sale! This exclusive after-hours 21+ Halloween extravaganza is set for October 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. and promises to immerse attendees in a night at the Zoo that will quickly become their new favorite fall event!
“The Friends of the Zoo is such an amazing partner that helps ensure our Zoo remains a top destination for families across the region,” said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg.  “This new event should be incredibly popular and creates a unique opportunity for adults to enjoy how our Zoo pulls out all the stops for Halloween.”
Skelebration will provide plenty of treats, and a couple tricks, too. As adults set out on the traditional Boo at the Zoo Halloween route, they will have the opportunity to “trick-or-treat” from station to station indulging in specialty food and beverage tastings, a signature cocktail and mocktail, beer, wine, and festive treats. Some party-goers may even stop along the way to do a little dancing at the Cosmic Disco!
For those brave Skelebration guests, a visit to the spider house may offer a few spine-tingling surprises, while those looking for something a little more traditional can take a spin on the Zoo’s carousel or pose for photos with their favorite costumed characters. Guests are encouraged to wear their own costumes as well. Details about a costume contest will be unveiled on the Zoo’s website soon.
Skelebration will also offer additional opportunities to support the Zoo where guests can take home an extra special treat of their own via a bourbon pull and silent auction. Proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit special projects and capital needs of the Louisville Zoo.
Early bird tickets are $75 per person now through September 14. Tickets will increase to $90 the week of the event. For more information about Skelebration and to purchase tickets, visit louisvillezoo.org/skelebration.Â
