This is Shannon. She is a coonhound and terrier mix, and she is about 6 years old.

In February 2024, I was going through a very lonely and difficult time. I went to the Kenton County Animal Shelter on a mission to adopt a male pit bull, but instead, they introduced me to this love bug.

Shannon had been dropped off at the shelter a year earlier. She was pregnant, heartworm-positive, and had been bounced from one foster family to another.

She wasn’t the dog I went there for, but I was blessed by the dog I left with. I didn’t just save her. She saved me.

Click to Help James

James and his blind brother, William, were found abandoned on the street when they were just four weeks old. James was born with one blind eye that started to cause him discomfort. Over time, that eye became increasingly painful and irritated. James is the seeing-eye cat for his brother, making his condition even more urgent to treat.
