Our Mission is to improve the health and welfare of animals in Powell County, KY by providing direct and indirect support to the animals and the staff who care for them at the Pound.
We are a group of animal lovers dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals. We coordinate with the Powell County Dog Pound to place as many animals as possible in temporary foster care so that we can arrange for rescue. Our generous volunteers provide a home setting where the pets can experience love, warmth and comfort while being socialized, trained in basic obediance as well as housebreaking.
We believe that education regarding pet ownership and it's responsibilities are an important part of what we do and why we do it. We promote spaying and neutering of companion animals rather than breeding your pet or buying from a puppy store or backyard breeders. We are always looking for responsible foster homes to help us start these wonderful animals on their path to a forever home.
