Speak out and Rescue (SOAR)is a volunteer run rescue that speaks out on behalf of abused and chained dogs.
SOAR's Mission has been formed to speak out on behalf of chained, abused, and neglected animals, and to help rescue those in need.
SOAR will work in conjunction with local shelters and rescue groups and help transport, advocate and educate in order to create a better Kentucky for all animals.
SOAR is an individual group, not governed by any organization, which will benefit animals throughout Kentucky, regardless of location.
SOAR will also work with the government powers that be, to change laws and ordinances in order to help animals and hold their abusers accountable for their actions.
Adopting a friend
All dogs in SOAR's care are in foster homes. We do NOT own a facility. Also all of our dogs are adopted as INDOOR dogs. To adopt a dog, we require that you fill out the application available on our website speakoutandrescue.org. Also a SOAR representative will come and do a home visit before the adoption is finalized. The adoption fee for all SOAR dogs is $150. This includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and routine tests.
