Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control is on a m Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control is on  a mission to protect the health and safety of the community and its animals.

“We are privileged to have partnered with GreenHouse17 for the last decade to ensure animals in difficult circumstances remain safe and well cared for,” shares Ashley Browning, Assistant Chief. “No one should have to choose between their safety and the safety of their pet.”

Research finds up to 40% of survivors delay leaving an abuser because they are unable to take their pets with them. Thanks to community-coordinated care, survivors in central Kentucky have options.

“Our daily focus is to provide resources and services that help pets stay in the care of their owners. Our partnership with GreenHouse17 is an extension of that goal," explains Ashley. “If that means a brief stay for an animal in our care, or a low-cost vaccine, we are happy to help.”
