Who We Are
We are now 501(c)3 Licensed.
East Kentucky Rescue is a small 501(c)3 licensed rescue group in South East Kentucky. We believe very strongly in responsible pet ownership and strive to give our friends a loving, caring and responsible home. Proper screening of each adopter's application helps us ensure that our friends will be given the quality of life that he/she needs. Along with being a 501 ( c ) 3 organization, we are also incorporated in the State of Kentucky as a non profit group. Our volunteers and board members work countless hours socializing our dogs, as well as grooming,Vetting, cleaning and just playing with our new found friends. We all work just as hard going over each and every application, and updating our web site with any news or new dogs. All applications must be board approved, we do this to ensure that nothing is over looked by a single member. Our love for animals is the motivating force behind our mission.
We welcome out of state adoptions but we won't ship our dogs. All dogs adopted from East Kentucky Rescue must be picked up.
For more info about our rescue and alot of success stories AND OUR ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION , please visit us at East Kentucky Rescue's newly designed homepage.
East Kentucky Rescue's Kennel is now completed. Please check our kennel construction page to see our beautiful new kennel. .
Adopting a friend
Fill out our online adoption application.
**ALL DOGS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED BEFORE ADOPTION** We will place dogs out of State, but a home visit will be made by a rep. of EKR before the adoption is approved. Again.. All dogs adopted from EKR must be picked up... We do not ship or transport our dogs. Adoption fees start at $100.00 to 250.00 depending on the amount of Meds the dog has required and the age of the dog. All East Kentucky Rescue dogs are considered house dogs, we make every attempt to have these dogs house trained at the time of adoption. A fenced yard is also required to adopt. Applications are approved on a " first approved " basis, we have the right to deny any application.

FORGOTTEN DOG'S CHRISTMAS
Author unknown
Twas the nite before Christmas
When all thru the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nick soon would be there.
The children all nestled all snug in their beds
With no thought of the dog filling their head.
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap
Knew the dog was cold, but didn't care about that.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Santa Clause with eyes full of tears.
He unchained the dog once so lively and quick
Last year's Christmas present now painfully sick.
More rapid than eagles he called the dog's name
And the dog ran to him despite all his pain.
Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen.
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall
Let's find this dog a home where he will be loved by all.
I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year
For Santa had made one thing quite clear.
The gift of a dog is not just for the season
We had gotten the dog for all the wrong reasons.
In our haste to think of the kids a gift
There was one important thing we missed
A dog should be family, and cared for the same
You don't give a gift, then put it on a chain.
And I heard him explain as he rode out of site,
"You weren't given a gift, you were given a life."
