 uWelcome
|
Come by and
visit...
Welcome to
the Humane Society of Marshall County, Kentucky!
Our beautiful new facility opened in December,
2006 and is centrally located in the heart of
the Kentucky Lake recreation areas. The
convenient location on Highway 68, just 5.5
miles southeast of Draffenville, better serves
the entire county and offers room for future
expansion. With over 3,000 square feet, we can
now accommodate a larger number of both dogs and
cats and offer many improvements in the housing,
viewing and daily care of the animals. We hope you will add our website to your
"favorites" so you can view the available
animals often. We also hope you will
take pride in one of the area's most
valuable community services. |

A Heart of Warmth...
Through a donation from the heart of one area
resident, the Humane Society family can breathe
a sigh of relief about the upcoming winter
season. Please join us in extending our
heartfelt gratitude to Mr. John David Son for
donating the funds to purchase a generator. His
generosity insures that our pet family can be
provided for in a time of need. This need
couldn't have been higher on our "wish list" and
we will be grateful to Mr. David Son for
many years to come!

Happy Birthday to Abby...
Abby King...who just turned six, recently had a birthday party.
Instead of buying birthday gifts, Abby asked her
guests to bring donations for the Humane Society. Most of the guests brought food, cleaning supplies
and toys. Some of her guests brought cash/checks
to help with other facility needs. Abby has said
she wants to do this every year and we couldn't
be more proud of this very sweet and generous
young lady.

Did You Know...
The Humane Society has an ongoing fundraiser
that a lot of people are unaware of. The Twin
Lakes Antique Mall has a glass showcase set
up for us. All proceeds come to the Humane
Society. They take care of the case and do not
deduct any commission from the sales. It is
filled with the nicer glassware that has been
donated for the yard sales along with items
that other booth vendors at the mall have
donated. Be sure to look for the Humane Society
Glass Showcase when you visit the Antique Mall!
