7 Year Old Helps Homeless Pets

Emily Harper turns seven on November 25th.

Nine friends attended her birthday party, but instead of gifts for her, Emily asked them to bring items to help our homeless pets.

On Friday, November 19, she and her dad delivered the presents to our Adoption Center and our animals thanked Emily in person! She especially enjoyed visiting with our adoptable bunny, Deloreon.

Emily has made a difference in the lives of our homeless pets. What an inspiration!

Happy Birthday, Emily!

Humane Red & Humane White Wine

Philanthropy at its "winest"

Lovers Leap Vineyards & Winery has created Humane Red & Humane White wine to benefit our homeless animals. The labels feature two adopted Woodford Humane pets, beautifully photographed by Peggy Maness Photography.

Each bottle of wine costs $20, and of that Lovers Leap will donate $5 back to our animals. In addition, the total Humane Wine donation will be earmarked to Woodford Humane's SAVE Matching Gift and Endowment Fund, so each bottle purchased goes twice as far helping our animals!

To get Lovers Leap Humane Wines to give as a gift, or for yourself, please visit Lovers Leap at 1180 Lanes Mill Road, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Or contact them at info@loversleap.com or (502) 839-1299.

Must be 21 to purchase Humane Wines. Lovers Leap promotes responsible drinking.

Adopt an '09-K9!

Hattie, Mercedes, Chelsea, Livvy, Diego, Gulliver, Rocco, Cash, Cherry, Coppola & Lavinia all arrived homeless in 2009.

These K9 companions have incredible, tail waggin' personalities and we want so badly to see them in their loving, forever homes! They've been homeless way too long.

Our August 09K9 Adoption Promotion is waiving the adoption fee for any K9 who arrived in our care in 2009 (with, of course, approved adoption applications). Each is spayed/neutered, dewormed, up to date on rabies & routine vaccinations and micro-chipped and all go home with a dog training DVD, heartworm check and a free visit to a participating vet clinic.

Lavinia has been adopted from our '09K9 promotion!

Since our '09K9 August Promotion began Coppola, Diego, Chelsea, Rocco, Lavinia and Cherry have all been adopted! We need your help networking for our other 09K9s to help find them their perfect, forever homes!

For more info, contact us at manager@woodfordhumane.org or (859) 873-5491. Or, stop by our Adoption Center. We're open Monday-Friday: Noon-6pm and Saturday & Sunday: Noon-5pm.

If you can't adopt, perhaps you can sponsor an '09K9's stay with us to help us care for them. Info at http://www.woodfordhumane.org/Adopt_A_Friend.htm (under our list of pets).

6/24 Scenes of Annestes Farms Sneak Preview Party

Event is free to attend with Hors d'Oeuvres by The Invisible Chef Catering and Cakes by LouNana, and tastings by Four Roses Distillery and Lovers Leap Vineyards & Winery.

Our Sneak Preview Party debuts the exhibit and opens the bidding.

'Scenes of Annestes Farms' remains at Headley-Whitney through July 18. It then moves to Annestes Farms where the auction closes at our largest annual fundraiser, Freedom Fest presented by L.V. Harkness on July 24. Click here to get tickets and to bid online to own a piece of this amazing collection.

The 2010 Freedom Fest Signature art "Animals in Command" was painted and donated by Adaline Wichman and will be featured in our Freedom Fest Live Auction on July 24!

Please help our homeless pets thank each artist & photographer, in-kind donor, volunteer and sponsor for their help making our 11th annual Freedom Fest Celebration and Scenes of Annestes Farms Art Auction so special!
