How To Help

In September 2010 the state of Kentucky announced that Nicholas County would be awarded a large grant to help finish the dog shelter and provide space for cats, office and storage space, and a adoption/educational area. The dog building will have indoor/outdoor runs and a puppy run, and will keep animals in a safe and sanitary environment, with proper ventilation and lighting, hot water and a heating system. In March of 2011, the first dogs were moved into the shelter - see photos below! The cat section will be completed during the late part of 2011.

Funds are urgently needed for veterinary care support and to implement our spay-neuter programs. NCAWS receives no money from local or state government, and our operating budget relies entirely on donations and fundraising. Your help is very much needed and appreciated.
Donations of any size are gratefully accepted. Can the animals count on you?

NCAWS is a Kentucky registered non-profit organization, and is a 501(c)(3) organization.
