Support Your Local Spay and Neuter Clinic!

We can do this but NOT without YOUR help!

25 Hoarder Dogs Need Your Help! On Friday, July 23 the Bullitt County Shelter received a call from a concerned neighbor about a 77 year old woman. She stated that the woman had lost her husband 2-3 years ago and had started collecting dogs to feel the void. This elderly lady had fallen and was taken to the hospital with a broken leg two days ago, leaving her "babies" unattended in a trailer with no AC, no open windows and no way to get food or water. The Animal Control Officer went to the home to check on the welfare of these dogs. The trailer she was living in was not fit for a roach to live in to say the least, but inside we found 27 dogs, one of which was already dead and had been for a few days. It appeared as if she had placed the dead dog inside a yellow plastic bag like those found at the Dollar General Store. It's poor little body already bloated with signs of cannibalism on it's throat and genital area. There were four puppies that were in pretty poor condition so they were rushed to the vet while the other dogs were to pull out dog after dog.  They were all taken to the Shelter.  One of the babies did not make it. Hilltop Haven helped pull these dogs and bathed, groomed and treated all of them for fleas.  The picture to the right shows what condition they were in.  This is one of the dogs' coat that was so matted it came off in one piece. All the dogs have been checked by Dr. Stone and are headed to rescues but will need their rabies vaccinations and a Health Certificate.  Needless to say, this does not come without costs.   Additional Pictures of Sarver Hoarder Dogs Injured Pup Needs Surgery! In a separate incident, a 5 week old Pit/Bull Mastiff pup fell off of a two story balcony and broke her leg.  Surgery for this baby is approximately $300.00.       You can see in the picture how twisted her leg is.  This little girl also needs your help.         Her brother, Zeus lived in the same apartment complex.  With your help, once the little girl has her surgery and is healthy enough, both of them will be going to rescue.         Please help these innocent dogs receive the care they need!

LOW COST   SPAY AND NEUTER COMES TO BULLITT COUNTY!

HOPE for Pets, through a partnership with the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS), is offering a proactive solution to the pet overpopulation crisis in Bullitt County.

The new KHS “S.N.I.P. Clinic” opened February 5, 2007.  The facility, located at 2445 Crittenden Drive, is dedicated entirely to spay/neuter efforts for members of the community who otherwise could not afford to sterilize their pets. HOPE for Pets, as a Regional Transport Partner for the Kentucky Humane Society,  helps provide affordable spay/neuter surgeries and will assist in the scheduling and transport of owned pets.  HOPE for Pets provides this service on the fourth Thursday of each month.  County licenses are also available to purchase.

To find out more about our Regional Transport Partnership Program and the S.N.I.P. Program, click here.

To insure safe transport of the pets, we are in need of  the hard plastic "airline" style carriers.  If you would like to donate a carrier or the money to purchase one,  please email or call us at the number listed below.  All donations are appreciated!

For questions, to see if you qualify or to schedule an appointment,  call (502) 955-3586 or email SpayNeuter@hopeforpets.org.  A volunteer will return your call within 24 hours.

Why spay and neuter your pets?  The Kentucky Humane Society says it best, “they’re just not going to do it themselves.”
