The Kentucky Humane Society is full on large dogs and adult cats and is asking the public to help KHS free up more space for needy pets.

To encourage adoptions, KHS is running a "Big Is Beautiful" adoption special: adoption fees for all dogs 40 pounds or more are 50% off and cats age one year or more are $20 May 15-31. Learn more

There's still time to sign up for this year's Waggin' Trail! 

Your participation is important to us. Every pledge helps us with our lifesaving mission. The walk will be held at Beckley Creek Park of The Parklands of Floyds Fork (PDF). There are three walks to choose from: our 5k Waggin' Trail, a 1.7 mile Canine Course and a 0.7 mile Puppy Promenade.

Don't want to walk? Why not sign up to take a cat nap on Saturday? Your friends and family can still pledge for you.

From now until May 16, for every $100 you raise in pledges, your name will go in a drawing for an iPad Mini. In addition, we have some great prizes for those who raise money.

• Raise $125 - $299 and receive a KHS dispenser for "necessary bags" for when your dog has to go (bonus - the first batch of bags are included)
• Raise $300 - $499 and receive the dispenser PLUS an official KHS baseball cap
• Raise $500 or more and receive the KHS dispenser, KHS baseball cap PLUS a KHS umbrella

Thanks to everyone who gave to support Shadow and Daisy. Daisy is healthy, has adjusted to her life as a three-legged cat and is now up for adoption. Shadow continues in foster care and is doing wonderfully. The veterinarian is very pleased with her progress and expects it to continue. More on Daisy and Shadow.

Without your support, we could not offer the care such pets need. Thank you for your help in making Daisy's and Shadow's lives better. There are still dogs and cats out there with emergency medical problems who need your help. Donate now.

Hill's Pet Nutrition joined forces with Louisville Public Media (LPM) to support the Kentucky Humane Society. For every pledge made to LPM during its spring sponsorship drive, Hill's Pet Nutrition donated one pound of pet food to KHS. Hill's rounded the amount donated to 3,000 pounds of food. 

Thanks so much to Hill's and to LPM for partnering to help us with our lifesaving mission!
