OUR MISSION: (the five R’s) To rescue abandoned community cats in desperate situations; rehabilitate the sick, the injured, and the abused; rehome cats and kittens ready for permanent placement with a suitable guardian; provide a loving refuge for cats that are not adopted; and reduce local shelter cat intake and euthanasia by promoting spaying and neutering.

There’s a lot about dogs that TV can tell us and there’s a lot that TV can get wrong. However, thanks to shows like Dogs 101 and channels like DOGTV, we are starting to learn and understand just how intelligent and unique each and every canine truly is. The more we understand about breeds and possible behavioral traits, the better we can understand the dogs we choose to bring into our homes. Make sure you take the time to really get to know a dog before you consider adopting. Remember that television isn’t always right when it comes to dogs; keep in mind that seeing one bad dog in the press doesn’t mean the entire breed is a threat. Develop an understanding of the breed and also make sure you’re ready to give your future dog the time and attention he or she needs to grow into a friendly and loyal companion. Favorite

Bourbon County Rescue is a non-profit organization started by Elaine and Charlie Fuerniss (pronounced furnace). The Fuernisses started a spay clinic to answer the need for a low-cost spay and neuter clinic in the rural community of Bourbon County and surrounding neighboring counties. Thousands of pets have been spayed and neutered thanks to the Fuernisses and the veterinarians and wonderful volunteers who dedicate their personal time to keeping pets safe and without unwanted pregnancies. From the spay and neuter clinic Bourbon County Rescue was born. BCR is a group dedicated to finding forever homes for the myriad of unwanted dogs and cats found in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. The rescue consists of a network of foster homes who take in pets from high kill shelters, strays and owner turn-ins. The pets are then placed on Petfinder where they are matched with their forever families! Almost every other Saturday Charlie and Elaine drive up from Kentucky to Petco in Germantown, MD with dogs, puppies, cats and kittens all needing a forever home with someone to love and care for them.

We offer new beginnings for English Bulldogs that are homeless, abandoned or surrendered. Some come from cruelty; some from ambivalence. Some Bulldogs come to us simply because an owner is elderly or sick and can no longer care for a much-loved pet, or there has been a divorce, job loss or illness in the family. Favorite
