“I am deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at Bondi Beach, an act of antisemitism that has shaken communities far beyond Australia, including here in Louisville. I fully and unequivocally condemn this hateful violence. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected. I stand with our Jewish community and reject antisemitism in all its forms.”
Renee Bryant, Executive Director of Fern Creek Highview United Ministries, attended this week’s Council meeting to accept donations from the Metro Council’s Holiday Food Drive and Kroger on behalf of the Association of Community Ministries.
It is one of the highlights of the season to experience the privilege of being a part of Shop with a Cop. Thank you LMPD!

The Christmas tree recycling program, or "Christmas for the Fishes," is an annual program that provides a great way to recycle used evergreens and support our underwater fish habitats.
Trees should be real, not artificial, and should be free of lights, garland, and decorations. Limbs, wreaths, brush or other plants will not be accepted.
Thanks for helping us improve fish habitat across the Commonwealth and remember us when you are cleaning up after the holidays.
For more information on this program visit Kentucky Fish and Wildlife

Our dog of the week is Collard Greens
This is Collard Greens the dog, not the side dish though he will stick to your side like Grandma's Sunday dinner!! 3 years old, neutered and Certified Lover Boy.
Collard Greens wants what every dog wants: to feel safe, to be loved, and to exist in peace (preferably while riding shotgun with the windows down).
He’s silly, he’s sweet, he’s got beautiful eyes, and he is SO ready for his people.
Meet Collard Greens TODAY! With NO adoption fee thanks to Friends of Metro Animal Services
Dogs over 40 pounds are always FREE. Adoptions include spay/neuter, up-to-date shots, one free training session with Micky's House, one year free membership at PG&Js dog park, and more!
Our Cat of the Week is Merry
Ms Merry is an incredibly sweet. She’s also pretty chubby- so much so that our vet recommends getting her down about 5lbs ASAP! She came to us with dreads on her back end, likely because she couldn’t keep up with her coat because of the..thickness.
Merry’s ready to spend her days doing a few mins of cardo mixed with a whole lot of breaks- can you keep up?
Meet Merry at Animal House, no adoption fee thanks to Friends of Metro Animal Services
