I know they have very little space, but that doesn't excuse the fact that my eyes were burning in the office from the ammonia. They should be hosing down and sanitizing the place. The poor dog I adopted was so foul with the smell of urine. So, I decided to foster the dog because I didn't want to bring him back! He had an aggressive bark and ended up biting a child. I had to bring him back even though I didn't want to. The staff acted extremely rude to me when I did. Then, I actually had to pay them $50 to take the foster dog back! I left, crying my eyes out. That place is messed up...

No one explained to me what that meant; no one told me that my kitten had a serious, contagious illness that would affect him for the rest of his life. I am not a veterinarian. I am just someone who wants to love a cat. If someone had taken a moment to explain what "FeLV+" meant, to clarify that it was feline leukemia, that it could shorten his life, and that it could endanger my other cat, I would have been able to make a fully informed decision about how to protect him and my home. Instead, I found out what it meant only after falling in love with him. After I had already brought him home. After I watched him get sick, I was terrified, not knowing what was happening or how to help him at first. I don't regret adopting him -- not for a second. He is part of my family now, and he is deeply loved. However, the way his condition was communicated caused an enormous amount of unnecessary heartbreak and fear that could have been avoided with a simple, honest conversation. Please prioritize speaking clearly about health conditions like FeLV for the sake of future cats and adopters. A simple explanation could spare someone else from confusion, guilt, or loss and give cats like mine the extra protection and understanding they deserve from the start. This is the first review I've ever left, and I feel wrong going lower because Ducky is still alive, and my older cat is vaccinated. Ducky has a chance with me, and I'm grateful it's me who gets to love him. Pics: The darker cat is Ducky, before and after he was sick/hospitalized.

I've never been so disappointed trying to adopt an animal. I reached out to the Nelson County…read moreAnimal Shelter through every possible method -- Facebook, their website form, email, and phone -- and after three days, no one had even bothered to review my application or follow up. It's honestly unacceptable for a shelter that claims to want to help animals find homes. When I finally managed to speak to someone, the woman I talked to was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. Rather than offering any help or understanding, she made me feel like I was wasting her time. I mentioned that their website and google search clearly says they're open on Saturdays by appointment, and she flat-out told me that Saturdays are not an option -- with zero explanation and an attitude that was shockingly rude for someone representing an animal shelter. Their limited hours -- only a few hours Monday through Friday -- make it almost impossible for anyone with a job to adopt. Add the lack of communication, slow response time, and unprofessional behavior, and it's no wonder so many animals are still waiting for homes. It's heartbreaking, because the animals here deserve so much better than this kind of disorganization and attitude. If the staff can't manage basic courtesy or responsiveness, how are they supposed to help the animals in their care find loving families? I truly hope they take this feedback seriously and make real improvements, because right now, it feels like they're standing in the way of adoptions, not helping them happen.

I thought she needed immediate attention because I thought she had a UTI, if I had known she didn't need immediate attention, I would of crated her and took her to the vet the next day, I also didn't have the funds at the moment, but everyone has to work to get those funds! They came and got the Yorkie and now are telling me I have to apply to get her back! The whole time I talked to the lady at the shelter, she assured me I would get her back if she wasn't chipped or claimed. First come first served. I am the first one to want that baby girl! I guess someone has a family member who wants her! Do not trust these people. If You find an abandoned animal, you take it to get scanned for a chip and post on Facebook about it. Do not turn them over to these people! I will never trust them again! Shame on the A holes working down there!

We have a cat who was dumped on or near our property a few winters ago. She's an amazing, loving cat who has been trained to serve as a service companion to Sexy Beast (who is allergic to dogs). She is soft and fluffy and sweet and I can not for the life of me figure out what sort of jackass would dump a kitten in the woods during a freezing winter. We have a cat who was adopted from the Kentucky Humane Society. She was surrendered by someone who had too many cats and wanted her to have an indoor home. Thank you, whoever you are. She's a beautiful, loving fluffball and I think she may have actually rendered me human. NAFC Animal Shelter is a top notch facility. The staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care about the welfare of the animals in their charge. The facility is clean and well organized. There is an application process for adoptions. It is painless and helps to ensure that the adopted animals are not being relocated to another crappy situation. Just bring a valid drivers license or photo identification with your correct address. If you already have pets at home, bring current up to date vaccination records for them. Bring proof of home ownership or a current lease (with a contact number for the landlord) and a pet deposit receipt. You can download a copy of the application on the NAFC Animal Shelter website and fill it out before you head over to meet the critters. There are no residency restrictions for adoption and adoptions can be competed the same day. The cost of caring for unwanted animals is significant. The adoption fees help to offset those costs. Each animal is spayed or neutered and receives at least one course of vaccinations, worming, Felv/FIV or Heartworm test, and treatment for fleas. Microchipping is also included in the adoption fee. There's the cost of food and bedding and kennels and cleaning supplies and clerical supplies and laundry and on and on. So, those nominal adoption fees are a full-on bargain. The fees are: Canines: $80.00 Felines under 4 pounds: $60.00 Felines 4 pounds and over: $20.00 You can surrender an unwanted animal during regular hours and must complete some paperwork to help NAFC Animal Shelter facilitate re-homing. Not all cats play well with each other and not all dogs are great with children. These tidbits of information go a long way when looking for a home for a companion animal. You must be a Floyd County, Indiana resident to surrender an animal. NAFC Animal Shelter does euthanize animals. It is a last resort but it does happen. Animals who are too aggressive or sick to be adopted, sadly, are euthanized. Right this minute, NAFCAS is helping with the rescue of 68 Chihuahuas and Chinese Crested dogs who were rescued from a home in Paducah, Kentucky. They'll be assessed by a vet and then adopted out or sent to other rescues or shelters to help with the placements. If you happen to be in need of a little love and loyalty, please consider adopting. If you'd like to help but can't make room in your home for a pet, donations are always welcome. You can donate money directly through the website (http://www.nafcanimalshelter.org/) or drop off your donations. There is always a need for cash (obviously) but towels, blankets, and soap (dish, hand, and laundry) are appreciated. You can also volunteer to help. Just give the shelter a call to find out how.

He has been the best dog I've ever had. Couldn't ask for a better temperament. I just wanted to let you know the results from his exam and bloodwork. His vet says all his joints are in great shape, and he has a really nice low resting heart rate. She also says he has a remarkable set of lab results. Everything was perfect and in fact, impressive for an older dog, more like a dog half his age. I really just wanted to let you know how great he is doing and that we appreciate all the hard work you put into raising healthy dogs. FYI, we did get a second puppy from you when Molly and Noah were bred again. She's doing awesome also. Thanks!!

I visited the East Campus of the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) to see if there was a need for volunteers to help with the animals. I had been scarred by visits to animal shelters in my past and had some trepidation about what to expect, but WOW, I was amazed. This location of the KHS is located on Lyndon Lane. The space was small but bright, and impeccably clean and odor-free. The cat's kennels had their own space, away from the dogs, with a closed door to minimize the noise from the dogs. There were dogs of every size and age kept in well-maintained and clean kennels. The staff were super friendly and gave me information about volunteer opportunities and the wealth of services offered by KHS in addition to adoption services (spay/neuter clinic, pet retention services, food bank and so much more). Their love for the dogs and cats was immediately evident. I urge folks to adopt not shop, and can highly recommend this branch of the KHS to begin your search for your new furry friend! This location is open 7 days a week for adoptions (11-5:30 M-F and 11-4: 30 on Sat and Sun).
