The Menifee County Animal Shelter located in Frenchburg, KY is a non-profit volunteer group that operates the county shelter. Before we started handling the shelter, almost all of the animals were killed on-site and buried. A small group of volunteers felt compelled to change this so we began to manage the shelter. We rescue unwanted, neglected and abused cats and dogs that would otherwise be euthanized or left homeless. Our mission is to rescue and dramatically enhance the lives of these animals through community education and by providing high qualify foster care and medical attention, including spay and neuter care, for those animals in need. Working with the community, we strive to change the lives of these animals by matching each pet to the best possible home based on their individual needs and personality. We are very limited in the number of acceptable pplacements in our area due to the large value of animals we serve at any one time - we usually have 70-90 animals and only 9 kennel runs so it is essential for us to work quickly with rescues out of state to avoid having to euthanize our animals.. In the past year we saved over 1200 animals. PA-based rescues, we are PA licensed.
