She indicated that Chief Crooks developed BARK-Building Animal Responsibility and Knowledge, for those people that receive animal control citations that are not abuse or neglect related. The Program is a way to better educate pet owners on their responsibilities. Currently there are plans to do some outreach programs to better educate the community on responsible pet ownership. The shelter took in a total of 1,342 animals as follows: 736 cats, 556 dogs, 1 chicken, 3 guinea pigs, 2 pigs, 23 rabbits and 4 rats. The euthanasia rate for the shelter is 14%, one of the lowest rates in Kentucky. Euthanasia is used only when necessary of injured or vicious animals.
