Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. May is National Pet Month and the Floyd County Animal Shelter is working to ensure local strays and surrenders find their forever home. We are really excited to be doing all kinds of great things at the shelter right now. We actually were at a local business this past weekend, had some of our pets there. We are continuing to work on a building project. We're really excited about that. We're very close to hopefully breaking ground. We have an upcoming project, I guess you would say, or an event in June 10th. Positively perfect pets and we're going to have a full day of fun. We've got food trucks coming in. We're going to have educational booths set up about spay and neuter and how to deal with an aggressive pet. Just all kinds of different things like that and finishing off the day with our second annual Rainbow Bridge Memorial 5K Run Walk. While the Floyd County Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter, over 12,000 animals were killed in 2020 across Kentucky according to the Best Friends Animal Society. Shelters are hugely important. We have in Eastern Kentucky a very huge problem with strays. I think part of what happened and I think the problem was exacerbated by the flood last year. We had pets that were displaced. We have folks that honestly they just can't afford their pets any longer. I think sometimes folks think that they're doing the right thing by turning them loose. Some do surrender them to the shelter. We want our pets to have a place to go. Those strays, those that need a home and then the shelter in turn will work with rescue groups. Work with citizens here in Floyd County to help find them a great forever home. More information on Positively Perfect Pets and the Rainbow Bridge 5K will be released soon.
