On April 2nd, the Hopkins County Humane Society in Madisonville, Kentucky was devastated by a storm. Their shelter experienced significant damage, including seeing the roof torn completely off the building. Despite the destruction, all animals were safely evacuated, thanks to the quick actions of shelter staff and volunteers. “When we heard about the devastating damage to the Hopkins County shelter, we knew we had to help as they rebuild and continue to support their community,” said Mary Sarah Fairweather, Vice President of Sheltering at Humane Colorado. “Our mission is to end pet homelessness and animal suffering—and that doesn’t stop at state lines. This was a clear opportunity to step up, offer support to a shelter in crisis, and help ensure these dogs continue on their journey to safe, loving homes.” Partnering with the ASPCA and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region , we were able to coordinate transport several dogs to Colorado, where they are receiving medical evaluations, behavioral assessments, and plenty of love. This rescue operation underscores the importance of collaboration in times of crisis. We are so grateful for our solid partnerships with these organizations, and all staff and volunteers who made this possible. We are sending all of our love to our friends at Hopkins County Humane Society while they recover, rebuild, and continue the amazing work they do for their community. The dogs will be available for adoption in the coming weeks. Prospective adopters can visit humanecolorado.org or hsppr.org for more information. (fb)
