Community pride plays role at Dixie Highway business expo

This is a crucial time in the reinvention of southwest Louisville’s Dixie Highway Corridor, the 11-mile stretch that is trying to transform from hodge-podge to a cohesive and customer-friendly business environment. 

“The corridor is very important for south Louisville, obviously we’re invested in the concrete, but you have to have the people, the businesses, to reinforce that,” said Louisville Metro council member David Yates, whose 25th District includes southwest.

Adopt A Pet of the Week

Meeco

Meeco is four-year-old Dachshund Mix with a wonderful personality.  Spend a bit of time with him and you will fall in love.  Meeco’s calm, loving demeanor shines.  He gets along well with other dogs and people of all ages.  Meeco walks well on a leash and definitely enjoys treats, but instead of begging, he sits patiently showing just how amazing he is.  If you are looking for a low maintenance, lifelong companion, make sure to visit this little angel at the Animal House Adoption Center, 3516 Newburg Road, or call Metro Animal Services for more information at 502-473-7387.  Don’t forget to check out Meeco’s friends at www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices, for more information.

Channum

Channim is a sweet guy! He loves to look out the windows at the beautiful scenery and play with toys. Channum is looking for his forever home.  Could you be the perfect match for Channum?

For more information, visit us at Animal House Adoption Center, 3516 Newburg Road, or contact LMAS at (502) 473-PETS (7387).  Don’t forget to visit our website to see other adoptable animals:   www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices .
