Some jobs stay at work. Animal shelter work has a way of following you home. 💛

Our Behavior Coordinator, Alyssa, was headed home with her foster kittens (who were already providing a full soundtrack of backseat meows) when she suddenly heard… another meow. The only problem? It wasn’t coming from the backseat. It was coming from the hood of her car.

Naturally, this realization happened while sitting in the Taco Bell drive-thru.

Shoutout to the amazing team at Taco Bell on Leestown Road for helping to entertain and care for Alyssa’s foster kittens while she waited for help, because this quickly turned into a full-blown kitten rescue mission. Despite it being after hours, Vinny from Vinny’s Mobile Tire and Brake Repair jumped into action and happily came to the rescue, safely removing the tiny stowaway from under the hood. He did it completely free of charge — his only concern was helping the kitten.

Now we just have one important question left: should this little hitchhiker be named Vinny… or Cheesy Gordita Crunch? 🤔

We’re incredibly thankful for a community that always comes together to help all creatures, great and small. Sometimes it takes a village… and sometimes that village includes foster kittens, Taco Bell employees, and a mechanic willing to save the day. 🐾

Yesterday was incredible, y'all—We're thrilled to report that 45 LHS animals went home! 👏🥰

And yet, out of all those adoptions, our long-term boy Jon B. is still here waiting...

Frankly, we think 🎶 They Don't Know 🎶 what they're missing with this guy.

Jon B. is a handsome tuxedo gentleman who has been patiently waiting well over a month for a family of his own. He's got that cool, calm demeanor, but underneath it all is an affectionate guy who's ready to give someone his heart.

It's also Adopt a Cat Month, sponsored by Nancy Barron & Associates Inc., Investments—what better time to bring home Someone to Love? 😉

Jon B. is Calling On You... Come meet this lover boy at our Malcomb Campus today!

Happy tears for our boy, Franklin. 🥹

When Franklin first came into our care, his origins would have given him every reason not to trust, not to heal, and not to thrive.

Instead, he did all three.

Surrounded by love and support from his foster family, our team, volunteers, and every person who rooted for him along the way, Franklin made a truly miraculous turnaround. He gained strength and confidence, discovered the joy of toys and treats, and let his goofy, lovable personality shine.

And after waiting nearly a month on the adoptions floor for his person to find him, yesterday, Franklin finally went HOME.

While we'll miss his goofy grins and those oversized paw handshakes, there is no greater joy than seeing a dog who has overcome so much get the happy ending he deserves.

Please join us in wishing Franklin and his new dad a lifetime of love, adventures, and all the happiness ahead. We couldn't be more proud of you, sweet boy! Your next chapter is just beginning. 💙

A new bombshell has entered the villa… 💘🌴.. er, the EAC.

Meet Sincere, a 1-year-old Terrier mix who's officially entered his "looking for love" era.

He's cute, he's got charm, and while he's still settling in and figuring out the vibes, we think this little guy has major main-character potential.

Sincere claims he isn't here for the drama—he's here for a genuine connection, cozy naps, and someone to couple up with for life. Could you be the one turning his head?

Just stop by our Everyday Adoption Center and meet this handsome boy for yourself— No recoupling ceremonies required. 💕

Over 100 days. 💔

That's how long our girl Meerkat has been waiting for someone to finally say, "You're coming home with me."

Meerkat is a 1-year-old Pittie mix with the prettiest brown-and-white coat, a wiggly body, and enough silly energy to keep you smiling. She's the kind of dog who greets life with curious enthusiasm and isn't afraid to show off her goofy side.

One of our volunteers put it perfectly: "She's as sweet as she is cute." And as you can see—she's pretty darn cute.

She's had people stop by, say hello, and even show interest, but somehow she's still here, patiently waiting for her person.

Maybe that person is you.

Come meet Meerkat at our Malcomb Campus and see why it's hard not to love her. Her happily ever after is long overdue.

🎶 Her name is Lola… she was a showgirl…🎶

Well, maybe more of a shy girl. This gorgeous 7-year-old German Shepherd mix may not be dancing under spotlights, but she does have a heart full of love waiting for the right person to discover it.

Lola is quite timid and will need a patient, understanding adopter willing to give her the time and space she needs to feel safe. But once she knows she can trust you, we're confident her personality will shine through, and she'll settle beautifully into a home of her own. We think she's absolutely worth it. 💜

Ready to help Lola write her next verse? She may not be a showgirl, but she could be the star of your home. Meet her at our Malcomb Campus on Old Frankfort Pike, open from 1-6 PM today.
