Oh yeah it is Derby week and the Thoroughbreds reign but sadly so many dogs at Louisville Metro Animal Services are sitting on death row simply because of the severe overcrowding at the shelter. Foster families or adopters desperately needed.
The portrait of many shelter dogs jump out at you with their soulful presence at the non-profit An Act of Dog in Mellwood Arts Center. You are awed by the amazing talent of artist Mark Barone. All of these dogs were euthanized at animal shelters. This is the reason that An Act of Dog exists, to prevent other dogs from their sad fate.
Please consider adopting a shelter animal for your next pet and save a life. Here is this weeks featured urgent adoptable pets at Metro Animal Servces.

We feature several adoptable dogs who are running out time at Metro Animal Services and are in desperate need of foster homes or adoption. Are you the one who could save them?
