Shelter Support
Mission Statement: This organization funds and oversees the Adoptions Program at the
Shelter, provides spay/neuter for shelter animals and low-cost spay/neuter
surgeries for low income pet owners, offers behavioral modification
and training information to help keep pets in their homes, offers humane
education materials and visits to local schools, and pet therapy visits
to nursing homes
Spay/Neuter: Two
programs designed to help owners who cannot afford regular prices
for spay/neuter surgery. Our programs are intended for people on
public assistance, disability, social security, or temporarily stressed
financially. We also will help caretakers of feral cat colonies,
or people who have out-of-control populations ("barn cats"),
or other special circumstances. Cats - Spay/neuter surgery
is done at our weekly clinic in Bardstown by veterinarians who
come over from Versailles. The surgeries cost us approximately
$25 for females and $15 for males, and we ask for a donation to
cover expenses. Dogs - Our organization
received grant money from the DJ&T Foundation in California
so that we can offer vouchers to help with the cost of surgery
at a private veterinary clinic. These vouchers are honored by
all Bardstown veterinarians and by some clinics in surrounding
counties.
