Kentucky doesn't have an official emergency disaster plan for animals?

CritterCauses — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:51:23 GMT

I read on another forum recently that KY does not yet have an official disaster plan in place pertaining to animals...do any of you that live in KY know if this is in fact the case? Seems a bit odd to me considering the huge horse industry there, not to mention farming and pets. If KY doesn't have a plan in the works, this would be a great project for someone there to take on to ensure that an official plan for animals in disasters gets implemented. I'm in Mississippi but have dozens of relatives all over KY so I've asked some of them to check into it & urge officials to include a plan for animals in disasters.

Just joined the network today. I'm in Radcliff. Our shelter was closed due to financial fraud, so we are sort of at a loss for resources. There is a cat shelter in Vine Grove, but they are full. Woodland Wildlife has taken in a number of cats, but their group is FeLuk positive. The pound is tiny and underfunded, so cats have a very short lifespan if taken there. I have too many cats, and I need to find a safe place for them. (I never planned on more than two at a time, but I'm a sucker for a hard luck story.) That said, I have a pickup that can be used for transport in decent weather if anyone needs help moving critters. I also have several carriers, but only small (cat-size) ones.

safe homes for cats needed

xyj2694 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:08:55 GMT

Is there any place in central Kentucky that is willing to take cats? I need to place cats in a safe home or shelter, but most are considered unadoptable. Every no-kill place I have contacted so far has turned me down. I love my littles, but I am broke. Suggestions?

It has been a few months since this need was posted. Does this dog still need a home?

Two St. Bernards need a home

Susan_Russell — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:08:05 GMT

We rescued two male St. Bernard dogs after watching them for three years tied out on chains with little shelter and no vet care. We have provided vet care and a temporary foster home for these guys.

They tested heartworm postive and are currently being treated.

I just need a place for them to recover/heal preferably a quite environment, and to be placed with a forever home they so much deserve. If you can help place in foster care, I can hold until such time but can not keep indefintely. Any help in getting the word out is greatly appreciated, these boys are great dogs with wonderful personalities that need a second chance.They seem to get along with other dogs and childern, not too much on cats.

Promoting Black Pet Adoptions in October

Rhodora Black — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:59:43 GMT

Hi,

I know of a central Kentucky shelter that is promoting the adoption of black dogs and cats during the month of October. I know there is debate about whether black dogs/cats are more at risk for violence during Halloween, but it still strikes me as a bad idea. Are there any articles you could share with me on the subject?

All the best...

STAR Shelter in KY Needs Help

This is Morehead, KY, rural eastern KY
CROSSPOST PLEASE!!!

Where to even begin? Jan, Sue and myself are in deep and overwhelmed. We
cannot keep up. In the past few days I forget how many puppies have been
dumped on roadways or left in boxes at the pound. It has never been this
bad. Dogs are pouring in like crazy. We have no space left. Jan is at
her wits end, I can't hold a thought or keep up with just the emails,
Sue is scrambling like a madwoman trying to keep up with STAR and
university band. We are dicussing the end of STAR. 3 tired women cannot
keep it up at this pace. I don't even know if the website is fully UTD.
http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY251.html

We had 8 parvo pups at the pound so they went to the vet and so far 3
have died and the rest are still being treated and the bill is climbing
very quickly. Because the pound has to empty now due to parvo, they
cannot intake any dogs so the dogs are getting dumped on the roadways
instead. Instead of wating until the pound can empty and reopen, they
choose to dump the poor dogs. The pound has to shut down to sanitize
every square inch. The dogs at the pound now are safe from parvo. They
have been vaccinated long enough. But they still have to move out. Add
to the problem that our dog warden, Jimmy, who is an essential part of
our team, is out now due to shoulder surgery.

STAR is drowning in vet bills, transport costs, boarding costs and dogs.
To help with STAR which is a 501c3 you can mail checks made out to STAR

paypal to sdcreasap@roadrunner.com (roadrunner.com) or use the ChipIn's
on the home page of the site. www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY251.html

Outside of STAR I have 2 lovely young beagles that were almost hit by
cars and picked up. They are spayed, UTD, HW neg, dewormed, frontlined
and need a place to go and I desperately need donations to cover their
vet bill. Belle, the younger of the 2 had a bad bout of gastroenteritis
that mimiced parvo but the parvo test was neg. She has finished her meds
and is doing great. We had $150 for them and still owe $529. You can
call the Morehead Vet Clinic at 606-780-7387 or mail checks to The
Morehead Vet Clinic, 103 Bartlett Drive, Morehead, KY 40351 or paypal to
me at juliatat@yahoo.com (yahoo.com) to help the beags. Pics of them can
be seen here

We need help. We need it fast. Before the 3 of us wind up being
blubbering piles of jelly. Prayers and good thoughts are most welcome
too. We need every bit of help we can get at this point.

Can You Help?

Is there anyone in the Kentucky Forum in or near Butler County? I'm looking for rescue groups or foster homes in that area.

Thanks,

Re: Introductions...Again

dlbbel — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:19:20 GMT

Hi,

I just joined the Kentucky Network, as well as Indiana. We live in Bloomington, IN, but have a second family place just outside Morgantown, KY, in Butler County.

But speaking of urgent needs, are there any known rescue groups, foster folks, or any members of this forum near Butler County? We have a female, sweet-as-sugar, 2 year old American Terrier showing up at the family place who needs a good home; if she has one now it isn't much of one.

But before that, she needs a foster home right now while she's in heat so she can immediately be spayed afterward. We've already found homes for her first batch of pups earlier this year, so we don't want it to get to that point again. But with a 3 1/2 trip back to Bloomington, it would be easiest if a new and better life could be found for her in KY.

Thanks for any help,

Danielle

Hey All!

Just wanted to pop in here and let you all know I'm still around. I am the manager of the Kentucky forums. I have been MIA for a while, but only due to helping our local shelter, etc.

I'm in Shelbyville, KY. Where is everyone else from? Let's get some discussion going rather than just announcing urgent needs. I know there are urgent needs, but we need to network as well.

PLEASE CROSSPOST!
but please NOT to Craigslist or similar sites!
The SAVE Center is overflowing with dogs and cats! We have to do something as there are too many dogs/cats for this small space.
The vet will be coming on Thursday 7/2/09 unless we are able to move many of them to rescues. If you can help, please email Jenise for DOGS at smithszoo62@ yahoo.com or Sandy for CATS hilerycody@windstre am.net (please do not call and leave a message with a volunteer)
Currently, we have 90+ dogs/puppies and over 100 cats/kittens!
Please note: if you have not worked with us previously, you need to go through the approval process:
Please send your vet(s) contact info
Brief statement about your spay/neuter policies
Website link and brief listof other shelters that you have worked with
The animals listed are just the tip of the iceberg! There are new dogs/cats that have not been posted on Petfinder yet.
http://www.petfinde r.com/shelterSea rch/shelterSearc h.cgi?shelterid= KY289&sort=Identifier&preview=1

If you can help, please let us know right away. Messages are checked every few hours. We must have commitments by 9am on Thursday. Please do not ask us to hold dogs for extended periods of time, we are not able to do that.
Discounted vetting is available for approved rescues. **Health Cert. requests need address info
Transportation is usually available to Lexington or Louisville , however, that is the best we can offer at this time.

Thank you,

Subject: [blinddogs-rescue] Blind Dog in W.KY hi-kill shelter

Our shelter that we work with currently has a dog that is in need of placement. He is blind, looks to be congenital, young yellow lab, under a year, unneutered, on the smaller side, good with people and likes his stuffed toy. Can learn his surroundings and is comfortable in the kennel. Will walk on a harness or leash. Responds well to voice reassurance to acclimate himself. Needs placement Immediately as he is also HW+ and we are at capacity to overflowing. Murray Calloway Animal Shelter is a hi-kill shelter, open admission that gives 5 days for strays and no hold on owner surrender. Duffy is past his 5 days and we need a plan for him soon or he will need to be euthanized due to his challenges and also space. Please email at paws2consider@yahoo.com or call me at 270-293-5544 if you can help. We have flown pets via volunteer pilots and may be able to arrange transport.
