Kentucky Humane Society’s Safe Haven Program

We love pets here! And we know many survivors seeking shelter have pets that also need a safe place to stay. Thanks to our partnership with the Kentucky Humane Society, we offer foster homes for four-legged family members through our Safe Haven program.
