Letter from Lori
Dear Friends,
In March, the Kentucky Humane Society team gathered at the University of Louisville
Rauch Planetarium to celebrate the lifesaving achievements of our staff.
Every day, our compassionate team saves and improves lives. From our kennel
attendants who provide daily care for the animals to our adoption counselors, from
our Pet Resorts staff to our veterinary teams, from our fundraising folks to our Pet Help
Line staff: everyone at KHS is dedicated to helping animals and the people who love
them.
At this celebration, we unveiled our new core values,
which I want to share with you. Core values are
the fundamental beliefs that our staff live by
every day. These guiding principles highlight
what the Kentucky Humane Society stands
for.

Fern Creek Pet Resort is an ASPCA ‘Way Station’
If your dog or cat is a client of the Kentucky Humane Society’s Fern
Creek Pet Resort, chances are you’ve seen a big white and orange
transport vehicle emblazoned with the ASPCA logo in the driveway.
In March 2017, Fern Creek Pet Resort became an overnight way
station for the ASPCA’s WaterShed Animal Fund Rescue Ride.
Each week, up to 80 lucky shelter dogs spend a night in a separate
building at the Pet Resort before continuing their journey to shelters
where excited families are waiting to adopt them. These dogs are
transported by the ASPCA from overcrowded animal shelters in
Mississippi, Alabama and surrounding states to shelters in Wisconsin
and beyond.
“Our staff is thrilled to be a part of saving lives,” says Cheyenne
Utley, Fern Creek Pet Resort Manager. “Not only do the revenues
from boarding, grooming and day care from our clients help
shelter animals at KHS, but we are also caring for shelter dogs
who – without this program – may never have been given a second
chance.” U Fern Creek Pet Resort Manager Cheyenne Utley helps with a dog
preparing to rest at the way station.

Louisville Health Kick Festival Helped Shelter Pets
We want to thank Hwang’s Martial Arts for letting us partner with
them at the 2018 Louisville Health Kick Festival in April. The event
raised almost $37,000 for the Kentucky Humane Society!
We want to say a big thank you and congratulations to all the
students who raised money for us. Over 500 students participated
in the event, and many received a puppy pizza party to thank them
for their great work raising support for our animals.
We also want to thank Grandmaster Hwang and his family for
their support of KHS and the Louisville community. This event not
only helped KHS, it also provided resources to the community
about healthy living. President and CEO Lori Redmon brings a puppy

Grants
KHS Gets New Transport Van
The Kentucky Colonels, a voluntary philanthropic organization, and Mister "P" Express
Inc., a truckload contract carrier, provided funds for a new transport van! Seven days a
week, our drivers deliver animals from the Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center
on Steedly Drive to 10 adoption centers throughout Louisville. We couldn’t do this without
a reliable transport vehicle. Thanks, Kentucky Colonels and Mister “P” Express!
PEDIGREE Foundation Supports Shelter Dogs
Kentucky Humane Society received a $10,000 grant from PEDIGREE Foundation to expand
our Saving Kentucky’s Shelter Dogs project. The funds will help KHS increase the number
of at-risk dogs transferred to KHS from municipal shelters, place them for adoption and
empower shelter partners to increase the number of dogs they save in their communities
through behavioral and other KHS training support.
“We are thrilled to partner with PEDIGREE Foundation again,” says Kristin Seaman, KHS
Transport Manager. “This program will help us save the lives of hundreds of shelter dogs.”
PetSmart Charities Funds Spay/Neuter & Pet Retention
Did you know that PetSmart Charities Inc. is one of our top supporters? Since 2005, they
have given over $422,000 to support our lifesaving work. This year, PetSmart Charites
gave funds to spay or neuter 700 pit bull type dogs at no cost to their owners. And they
recently gave a grant for our Pet Help Line and Pet Retention Programs, which help owners
keep their pets out of shelters. The next time you shop at PetSmart, please say “thank you”
to the staff on behalf of KHS. Each year, millions of generous PetSmart shoppers help pets
in need by donating to PetSmart Charities using the pin pads at checkout registers inside
PetSmart stores. Learn more about PetSmart Charities at petsmartcharities.org.
Dogs Trust Worldwide Helps Owned Dogs
In December, the Kentucky Humane Society became the second organization in the
United States to receive a grant from Dogs Trust Worldwide, sister charity to Dogs
Trust – the United Kingdom’s leading dog welfare charity. They are supporting our
Pet Retention Programs, covering three areas: temporary foster care costs for dogs
owned by domestic abuse survivors and low-income owners seeking secure housing,
the running of our Pet Help Line which assists over 2,400 dog owners a year, and
financial assistance vouchers for low-income pet owners’ veterinary bills. We are
honored to have our life-changing work recognized by an international organization.
Schweitzer Fund Supports Orphaned Foals
We are grateful that the Albert Schweitzer Animal Welfare Fund is supporting our
orphaned foal program this spring. Without a mother, these babies are very fragile and
expensive to raise. A grant from this Fund is helping pay for medical treatment, milk and
daily care. In honor of the Fund’s support, our first foal of the season, Allie, was named
for Albert Schweitzer. The Fund was established in 1981 and named for the famed
scientist and humanitarian in recognition of his philosophy of Reverence for Life. U
