Oprah’s recent investigation of puppy mills created quite a stir among viewers.  The exposure has generated increased interest in animal welfare, however too often stories such as these often fade once the novelty wears off.  The problems of puppy mills and animal overpopulation are daily realities here in our community.  In Central Kentucky, there is an out-of-control overpopulation of stray, abandoned, and homeless dogs and cats.  As the largest open-door shelter in Central Kentucky, the Lexington Humane Society (LHS) is confronted with this problem daily.  Animal welfare is not the task of one single person or organization; rather the community as a whole has a responsibility to strengthen animal welfare. To learn how you can help put an end to puppy mills and strengthen animal welfare click here.
