Building Connections with Chief Joseph
I adopted Chief from the Kentucky Humane
Society when he was four and a half. He is seven
now. I always wanted a Dalmatian, and he is the
perfect dog. He is a local celebrity, making people
laugh along the way when they meet him. In the
summertime, I get out his sunglasses (seen in the
photo). He makes people smile, connects me with
others and gives me unconditional love. I am so
grateful for him.

Mornings with Bruno
We adopted Bruno (formerly named Chipper) a
couple of months ago from the Kentucky Humane
Society. Thought I’d send a photo showing how
our little guy spends his morning—very cozy laying
amongst bed pillows. This is where he sleeps
at night, right above my head...and he doesn’t
budge, EVER...any morning...as we make the bed.
We’ve simply learned to make the bed around him.
We absolutely LOVE Bruno! He’s such an amazing
addition to our family!

Dear friends,
Letter from Lori
2013 was an incredible year for cats and dogs at the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS).
We saved every single healthy, behaviorally sound pet who came through our doors.
Read more about our success on page 2.
We were able to achieve this strategic goal as well as many other new initiatives thanks
to a dedicated leadership team comprised of staff and board members. Every two years
this group convenes to brainstorm about KHS’ direction, identify areas of need and
strategize growth initiatives. We dare ourselves to dream big: what is our vision for the
future, and what steps will be taken to achieve this?
At our session last October, we discussed the state of equine welfare in Kentucky. Dubbed
the “Horse Capital of the World,” Kentucky’s horses are as famous
as its bourbon. Sadly, there aren’t enough resources to help
the unwanted horses that fall upon hard times. Horses can
live 25-30 years, and taking care of them is expensive.
With so many people facing financial challenges in these
tough economic times, horse owners have limited options
if they can no longer afford their horse. Rescues are
full, horse adopters are few and far between, and many
horses end up starving in a field without proper forage.
For the last decade or so, KHS has focused exclusively on
helping cats and dogs. But our history goes back to horses. In
1884 KHS was created to advocate for the proper treatment of carriage
horses. Over the many years that followed, our agency gravitated toward helping dogs
and cats.
In our strategy session we acknowledged that horses are companion animals and,
therefore, are included in our scope of mission. This led to a conversation about what
role KHS could potentially play in helping horses in our state. KHS does not have the
space or funding to house equines, but we believe we can provide statewide leadership,
networking and collaboration resources to help get horses into safe homes.
This is new territory for us, and we want to make sure we can deliver on our promises.
That’s why I am asking for your feedback: do you think that KHS should be involved in
equine welfare? If so, in what way? Do you see yourself getting involved; if so, how?
Please send your feedback to kypresident@kyhumane.org or write to me at the
Kentucky Humane Society, 241 Steedly Dr., Louisville, KY 40214. And if you would like to
receive emails from KHS about horse initiatives, please indicate this.
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to hearing from you!
In gratitude,

A Record Year for Pets!
KHS saves every adoptable cat and dog, finds homes for more than 6,300 pets
L
ast year was one for the record books for the Kentucky
Humane Society. In 2013 KHS found homes for 6,316
homeless cats and dogs—the most in its history—and
saved every healthy, behaviorally sound pet in our care.
“We were able to save so many lives thanks to the vision and
hard work of our board, staff and volunteers, and to the many
compassionate people in the Louisville area who chose to adopt,
spay or neuter, and donate to help our pets,” says Lori Redmon,
KHS president and CEO.
The record-breaking year was made possible by a long-term,
two-tier proactive strategy, according to Lori.
“First, we created innovative programs to help reduce the
number of pets entering shelters by focusing on spaying and
neutering, education and pet retention to keep pets in their
original homes,” says Lori. “Second, we ensured that the
adoptable pets we took in received the best possible care, and
we committed to keeping them until they found forever homes.”
Building on this strategy, in 2013 KHS saved over 90% of
the animals we took in and guaranteed that every healthy,
behaviorally sound pet found a home.
Programs that helped lead to this success include:
•S.N.I.P. (Spay/Neuter Incentive
Program) Clinic. Since the clinic
opened in 2007, more than 60,000
local pets have been spayed or
neutered—helping lead to a 30%
drop in the number of animals
surrendered to KHS and to Louisville
Metro Animal Services (LMAS), the
city’s public shelter.
•KHS Pet Help Line, (502) 509-4PET.
More than 900 callers were helped with
free behavior advice, resource referrals
and alternatives to surrender last year.
This service is funded by a grant by
the ASPCA (American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and by
the Banfield Charitable trust.

www.kyhumane.org
•P.R.O.U.D. (Prisoner Rehabilitation
of Untrained Dogs) program.
Behaviorally challenged shelter
dogs spend 30 days at the Kentucky
State Reformatory with inmates who
have been taught to use positive
reinforcement. Since the program
started last April, more than 160 dogs
have graduated and been adopted.
•KHS Working Cats. Last year 153
cats who were not suitable for home
adoption found appropriate indoor/
outdoor homes through this lifesaving
program. These cats “earn their keep”
by being excellent mousers and helping
their owners with pest control.
•Help Me Heal fund. KHS saved more
than 200 medically fragile shelter
pets through a donor-supported fund
that pays for medical bills for pets
suffering from disease, trauma, cruelty
or neglect. This fund also helps pay for
behavior rehabilitation of shelter pets.
•Dog training. Last year, KHS added
new classes that focus on specific
problem behaviors such as aggression,
extreme shyness and resource
guarding—even offering low-cost inoffice private training. KHS is taking a
taking a proactive approach to help
with issues that often lead animals to be
turned into shelters.
•Transferring pets. KHS makes it a priority to take in pets from
overcrowded public shelters. Last year more than 3,300 dogs
and cats came from overcrowded area shelters, including
more than 1,200 from our city’s public shelter.
Established in 1884, the Kentucky Humane Society is a local
nonprofit agency dedicated to ending pet overpopulation
through proactive solutions such as aggressive spay/neuter,
education and adoption. KHS does not receive government
funding and is not a branch of any national humane
organization. Learn more at www.kyhumane.org. U

Thinking Inside
the Box
By Katy McClellan, Pet Help Line Coordinator
Question
My cat just stopped using the litter box.
She’s used it for three years with no
problems. I don’t know what to do. Help!
Answer
Litter box issues are a common problem
and one of the top reasons that cats
end up in shelters. To help solve these
issues, you have to “think like a cat,”
and you should soon have a clean
home and happy cat.
There are many reasons cats stop using
the litter box. The first step in resolving
litter issues is ruling out illness, so take
your cat to a veterinarian immediately.
Also consider the environment where
the box is placed. If the cat can be
“ambushed” while using the litter
box, she may be less likely to go in it.
If it’s not clean, she may not want to
use the box. If she associates the box
with pain or fear, she will be more
inclined to go somewhere else. Solving
these problems can be as simple as
uncovering the box, or it may require a
little more detective work.
If your cat stops using the box, use the
following tips to get her back in the box:
1. Take your cat to the veterinarian.
Even if she appears to be feeling
well, she could have an underlying
issue. Cats are good at hiding pain,
so she may not “seem” or “act” sick.
2.Add more litter boxes. You should
have 1+ the number of cats in your
home. Make sure there is a box on
each level of your home, that the
boxes are big enough for your cat to
turn around in, and that they are in
easily accessible spots.
3. Make sure all boxes are uncovered.
Use clumping, unscented litter and
scoop daily.
4.Clean accidents thoroughly, using an
enzyme-based cleaner. Use a black
light to find all spots if necessary.
5. Be a detective: Have there been any
changes in the home lately? Has
someone or another pet moved out
or moved in? Have you changed the
litter type or the box location? When
is your cat not using the box? What is
your cat doing outside the box? Has
your cat recently been treated for a
medical issue or been declawed?
The more information you have
about the issue, the better your
chances for solving the problem.
For additional suggestions, please call
the Kentucky Humane Society’s free
Pet Help Line at (502) 509-4PET and
discuss your cat’s issues with a trained
behavior counselor.

Service Helps
Owners Re-home
Their Pets
Life can take surprising and difficult
turns for all of us. Loss of a job, severe
allergies, divorce and even death
sometimes result in a wonderful pet
needing a new home. For families or
individuals with no other options than to
re-home a pet, the Kentucky Humane
Society now offers an online courtesy
listing of animals seeking new families.
Pets listed on the Re-homing Services
web page remain in their original
homes until their owners find
appropriate placement. Katy McClellan
with the KHS Pet Help Line counsels
each owner on how to screen potential
adopters and how to write appealing
and accurate bios about their pets.
“While we would prefer that every pet
remain in her original home, we know
this is not always possible,” says Katy.
“For people who cannot keep their pets,
the KHS Re-homing Service can be a
tremendous help and an alternative to
surrendering to a shelter.”
Pets in the courtesy listing are not
KHS animals. Potential adopters must
engage in direct communication with
the pets’ existing owners. The owners
have shown proof that their pets have
been spayed/neutered and are current
with their vaccinations.

Love, Always
Bonded Pairs
When adopting two is better than one
T
wo beautiful, snow-white
cats with jade-green
eyes were brought to the
Kentucky Humane Society in
early September. Tragically, their owner
had passed away, leaving Casper and
Benji orphaned and homeless.
The five-year-old cats quickly won the
hearts of staff, volunteers and potential
adopters with their loving personalities.
Cats this beautiful and friendly normally
would be adopted very quickly. But
Benji and Casper were different. The
catch? They came as a matching set.
Benji and Casper were brothers who
had never been apart. They were two
cats with one heart. They did everything
together. They ate together, slept
together, played together. Moreover,
they became extremely depressed and
anxious when separated.
No doubt about it, Benji and Casper
were bonded, and they needed to find
a home that could adopt both of them.
“Most people come into the adoption
process planning to adopt one pet,”
says Angie Durgasingh, Customer
Care Manager at KHS. “It’s rare
that someone comes into the shelter
planning on multiple adoptions.
That makes a bonded pair more
challenging to place.”
Casper and Benji were placed in a
“cat condo” in the KHS Main Campus
adoption lobby. Hundreds of potential
adopters stopped by to admire the
green-eyed brothers. But, still, no one
took them home.
4
www.kyhumane.org
After nearly two months at the shelter,
we realized the normal promotion of
the pair was not getting any results. We
decided to post Benji and Casper’s plight
on Facebook and hope for the best.
The best came to us in the form of
Phil Hawkins, who had heard from his
children about the two cats’ plight and
decided to meet them. The family’s
beloved cat had recently passed away,
and they felt it was time to adopt
again. It didn’t take Phil long to make
the decision to adopt, and Benji and
Casper went home with him that day.
Phil says that Benji (now named Marty)
and Casper have adapted well to their
new family and surroundings. They
remain closely bonded and also have
bonded with the rest of the family.
“Marty is attached to my wife at the
hip,” Phil says. “Casper is more social
and gets along with everyone.”
What is a bonded pair?
All pets are capable of
forming bonds,
either with
other
pets or with humans. Bonded pairs
of animals have generally grown up
together. While often siblings, nonsiblings can bond as well. Although
every animal can develop bonds, there
are times when these bonds are so
close that one or both animals decline
when not with the other.
Most bonded pairs come from the
same home, but not all animals that
are turned in together are bonded in
a significant way. While they may like
the other animal in the home, they
are also capable of forming other
social affiliations and are relatively
comfortable on their own. In cases like
this, KHS will adopt animals separately.
Keeping pairs together
“When making a decision about keeping a pair together, many
factors are considered. We pay close attention to each animal’s
behavior alone and with his friend,” explains KHS Placement
and Behavior Manager Brandi King.
“If we see obvious signs of increasing stress and anxiety upon
separation that doesn’t diminish as the animals settle in at the
shelter, we will consider adopting them as a pair. We take their
history into consideration, particularly if the previous owner has
noted signs of distress when the animals were separated. It can
be a bit of a process, but it’s worth it in the end to ensure the
well-being of bonded pairs,” says Brandi.
This is always a difficult decision, explains Brandi, because
paired animals tend to have a significantly longer length of stay
in a shelter setting. However, separating a strongly bonded pair
can lead to serious problems.
Best Buddies: Bobo & Bailey
While they had never met before coming to the Kentucky
Humane Society, Bobo and Bailey, two Beagles, each two
years old, became best buddies while at KHS. Bobo was so
determined to be with Bailey that he managed to squeeze
through a small gap the size of a legal envelope in his kennel
to get into Bailey’s kennel next door!
The KHS staff and volunteers were so touched by this that the
two dogs were then housed together. And two KHS volunteers
were hopeful that Bobo and Bailey would find a home
together, so they agreed to pay one of the adoption fees for
anyone willing to give a home to both dogs.
Bonded animals who are separated may demonstrate anxiety
by pacing, whining, destructive behavior, loss of appetite, and
generally shutting down and becoming non-interactive with
people and other animals. They grieve the loss of their friend
and sometimes cannot get out of that grief cycle.
We are happy to report that Bobo and Bailey were adopted
together in mid September by Steve Sandman, who tells
us that they continue to be devoted to each other but have
definitely found a place in their hearts for the rest of the
family, Steve and Laura. Now named Huck and Finn, Laura
tells us, “They are so cute and such good boys. They love to
go on walks, chase squirrels and sniff everything. They also
love to snuggle and watch their favorite TV show, ‘Too Cute’
on Animal Planet.”
The benefits of adopting a bonded pair
We are so happy that Huck and Finn are together with a family
who had room in their hearts and home for them both! U
It’s easy to imagine the downside to adopting a bonded pair:
two pets require a bigger investment in food and veterinary
care. But what are the benefits of adopting a couple?
Your pets are never alone. Some pets become agitated or
bored when left alone. These feelings can lead to acting out
in negative ways, including destruction of property, relapses in
litter/house training and boredom eating. Pets can be anxious,
and their owners can feel guilty.
If your pet has a companion, you are less likely to see these
behaviors. Pets are less stressed by your departure and find
ways to entertain each other that should leave your house less
of a mess and your pets happier.
Pets who live together are often healthier. Anxiety can lead to
physical illnesses, from hair loss to heart problems. Add to that
boredom and stress eating, and you have the potential for an
overweight, unhealthy pet.
Bonded pairs often play together, keeping their energy up and
increasing their exercise levels. The reduction in stress will help
keep their hearts healthy and their bodies fit. U

Special Needs
Josey the
Outlaw Tails

Brandon Maxwell.
Dog survives bullet and car crash to find loving home
By Rick Maynard, KHS Board Member
T
he gunshot wound might
have been enough to kill
most dogs. And if the bullet
didn’t finish the job, the car
bumper probably should have.
But this four-year-old beagle was a tough
dog to keep down.
As he lay beside the Shepherdsville,
Ky., road—a bullet lodged in his body,
pelvis broken from the impact of a car,
exposed to the elements and running out
of time—his luck changed.
Deborah Philpot and her family found
the injured beagle lying near the busy
two-lane road in front of their house.
They named him Todd. Todd’s good
Samaritans had arrived.
“He was pitiful, obviously scared. There
had been a storm the night before and it
was cold,” Philpot said. “But despite his
injuries, you could tell that he was happy
to see people. I think he knew he was
going to get help.”
Deborah took Todd to her veterinarian,
where his broken pelvis was diagnosed.
The beagle would need surgery and a
6
www.kyhumane.org
lengthy rehab, and Deborah knew her
home with a rambunctious Labrador
puppy was not the place for the injured
dog to heal.
As Todd’s condition stabilized and he
began to recover, the KHS staff turned
their attention to the next step: finding his
forever home.
She called the Kentucky Humane Society
(KHS) and described the beagle’s
desperate condition. The KHS staff
agreed to take Todd in and pay for his
significant medical care through the
organization’s Help Me Heal fund.
On August 28, Brandon Maxwell and
Lizi Hagan heard Todd’s story on
WFPK’s “The Paws Report.” WFPK on-air
host Laura Shine told the story of the
resilient pooch who wouldn’t let a bullet
or a car end his life.
“The Kentucky Humane Society’s
Help Me Heal fund is reserved for our
most medically or behaviorally fragile
animals—those who need significant
and oftentimes expensive care,” said
Lori Redmon, president and CEO of the
Kentucky Humane Society. ”Help Me Heal
is funded by generous donors who want
to help save pets in need like Todd.”
Brandon and Lizi were immediately
taken in by Todd’s story, but they weren’t
sure they were ready for another dog.
Surgery was performed to repair Todd’s
broken pelvis and a diaphragmatic
hernia (a condition where damage to the
diaphragm allows abdominal organs to
migrate into the chest cavity). Given its
location, the bullet would need to stay.
More than $1,000 in Help Me Heal funds
paid for Todd’s medical care, and he
spent six weeks under strict cage rest in a
foster home to allow his body to heal.
“The previous November, we had our
15-year-old beagle put to sleep, so while
Todd’s story got my attention, we just
weren’t sure we were ready for another
dog so soon,” Brandon said.
The couple had travel plans throughout
September anyway, so they thought that
perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be. But
during their trip, the beagle was never
far from their thoughts.
“We kept saying to each other, ‘I wonder
what Todd is up to,’ or ‘I hope Todd is
doing okay,’” Brandon said.
Six weeks after first hearing Todd’s story on
WFPK, Lizi logged on to the KHS website and
found that Todd was still looking for a home. This
time, the two animal lovers didn’t hesitate.
Personalized Pet Tags Available at
Main Campus and East Campus
“As soon as we confirmed he was still available,
we jumped in the car and headed that way,”
Brandon said. “He had been on both our minds
the whole time, so we decided to adopt him.”
Thanks to a grant from the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals), the Kentucky Humane Society can offer $5
personalized pet tags at the Main Campus and East Campus.
The couple added the beagle to their family,
joining two incumbent cats. But while the story
seemed almost storybook perfect, one thing
didn’t: the name Todd just didn’t seem right.
They recalled the description of Todd when he
was featured on “The Paws Report.” In detailing
the fact that Todd had been shot, he was jokingly
referred to as “a little outlaw.” Brandon, a fan of
the famous 1976 Clint Eastwood Western “The
Outlaw Josey Wales,” decided Josey was an
appropriate name for the beagle that was tough
enough to take a bullet and survive.
“Every day since we brought Josey home, he
has surprised us with something different,” he
said. “Every day, new and subtle nuances of his
personality come out. We take it as an indication
that he is getting happier and happier, and
sharing a little more of himself with us.”
And as happy as Brandon and Lizi are to have
“the Outlaw Josey Tails” in their lives, they also
hope their dog’s story has a larger impact on
those who hear it.
“Pet I.D. tags take just a few minutes to make, but they are vital to ensuring
lost pets are reunited with their owners,” says Susan Oppel, KHS director of
shelter operations.
All pets adopted from KHS are
micro-chipped. But wearing I.D. tags
is essential as well, as I.D. tags can
result in pets being returned faster to
their homes.
To purchase a personalized pet I.D.,
stop by the KHS Main Campus at
241 Steedly Drive or East Campus
at 1000 Lyndon Lane, or call (502)
366-3355 for more information. U

“Josey’s story is proof that you can rescue an
animal and immediately have him become a

resilient and adaptable. Josey has been so
good for us, and this story is a great reminder
that adoption should be the most viable option
for getting a pet.”

Santa Helps Raise $53,000 for Homeless Pets
Santa and Kentucky Humane Society
volunteers are like the U.S. Postal Service:
neither snow nor rain will keep them from
getting the job done. Despite three days
of snow and sleet, the 2014 Picture Your
Pets with Santa continued on…and raised
more than $53,000 for KHS!
“We can’t thank Santa and our volunteers
enough for their positive attitudes and
their willingness to pitch in wherever they
are needed,” says Whitney Hobbs, KHS
volunteer coordinator.
A perfect example of this dedication
is KHS board member David “Santa”
Buschman. Santa David worked both
weekends, cheerfully sharing his lap
with cats, dogs, kids, moms, dads, and
even a lizard or two. This event would
not be possible without the dedication of
David and several others who come out
to be Kris Kringle or his helpers for the

Fern Creek Facelift
Britney Chaney has been with the Kentucky Humane Society for
more than 15 years. She started as the volunteer coordinator, and
over the years worked her way up to chief operating officer. Britney
and her husband, Phil, and their eight-year-old son, Ryan, share
their home with dogs Ali and Teddy, both adopted from KHS.
Have you visited the Kentucky Humane Society’s Fern Creek Pet
Resort recently? If so, you’ve seen the results of the first major
renovation since KHS acquired the pet lodging facility in 1998.
Britney Chaney, chief operating officer
Britney (front row, second from left) is proud of the work of
KHS’ 140 employees and 500 volunteers, and to be part of an
organization that is a national leader in the humane industry.
Learn more about Britney and why she loves KHS at kyhumane.
