Oh yeah it is Derby week and the Thoroughbreds reign but sadly so many dogs at Louisville Metro Animal Services are sitting on death row simply because of the severe overcrowding at the shelter. Foster families or adopters desperately needed.
Once the Kentucky Derby is over you can head on down to Georgetown, Kentucky on Sunday, May 5, and visit the retired thoroughbred racehorses at Old Friends Equine's 9th Annual Homecoming event.
The Kentucky Horse Park's premiere event begins today with dressage which continues through tomorrow. Saturday brings cross country jumping with amazing Rolex horses jumping obstacles that are works of art. The event ends Sunday with the stadium jumping phase.
The portrait of many shelter dogs jump out at you with their soulful presence at the non-profit An Act of Dog in Mellwood Arts Center. You are awed by the amazing talent of artist Mark Barone. All of these dogs were euthanized at animal shelters. This is the reason that An Act of Dog exists, to prevent other dogs from their sad fate.
Please consider adopting a shelter animal for your next pet and save a life. Here is this weeks featured urgent adoptable pets at Metro Animal Servces.
Sadly the Equine Rescue League of Southern Indiana has lost the use of the land they operate on and was suppose to have all horses removed off of the property days ago. There are still four older horses in desperate need of new homes.
Local animal shelters are dreading spring, why? Because that means a influx of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens that cause overcrowding so some pets will get euthanized to make room. We feature this weeks adoptable pets in need.
