HELP CREATE A NEW STORY.

By donating to the Spirit Fund you too can create a happy ending!

 

     BEFORE you finish reading this, sadly, 14 dogs and cats will take their final breath in U.S. animal shelters.  Even more heartbreaking, by year’s end, approximately 4 million more innocent animals will suffer the same unthinkable fate.

That is, unless they find safe haven in a no-kill shelter like Louisville’s Animal Care Society. Here, our entire reason for being is to end the barbaric practice of euthanization by placing every homeless dog and cat we receive into the care of kind souls who will cherish their unconditional love.

You need only see the pictures above and below to appreciate how dedicated we are to our mission. Because as hard as it is to believe, these two photographs are of the same dog–a terrier mix named Betsy.

When we found Betsy, she was cold and wet, rail thin and severely malnourished, wandering aimlessly through the streets of Eastern Kentucky.

We think she somehow managed to survive each day by taking refuge in abandoned buildings and under parked cars, scrounging up occasional scraps of food. Even worse, was the obvious long-term physical abuse Betsy suffered at the hands of people too cruel for words.

Treatment left her afraid of men, quick movements, people’s feet, televisions, ceiling fans, stairs and loud voices. In fact, she was so fearful of people at the shelter, her name while living there was ShyAnne.

Betsy’s life changed forever when an ACS volunteer who relocates dogs from Eastern Kentucky to our shelter, saw past her horrific physical appearance and rescued her from an uncertain future.

After being nursed back to health with plenty of TLC made possible by heartfelt donations from people like you, Betsy was adopted into a loving home where she has since blossomed into a confident, charming, prized pooch, anyone would be proud to call their own.

Unfortunately, her story isn’t unique. Your generosity is the only hope that countless more former ACS residents will go on to enjoy their best years much like Betsy, living happily ever AFTER.
