I normally wouldn't post about rescue here, but I am trying to get some of these dogs into rescues to save them, 45 dogs will be euthanized at this shelter on friday, if you can adopt even one of them that would be huge!
Not all dogs are pictured, but I will attach the shelters website so you can see some of the dogs that are available, and if you want to adopt one, but are too far away, I am in rescue transport and can contact coordinators to try and get the dog delivered to you, please help if you can.
This is the shelter website (for contact & pictures of some of the dogs)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Located in Ravenna, Kentucky, the Estill County Animal Shelter serves 5 local counties, employing only an animal warden & one part-time worker, and they both put in over full-time hours! This shelter has a very high kill rate, euthanasias are scheduled weekly due to the lack of space and poor condition of many of the animals that are brought in. This facility has ten indoor all-weather kennels, three quarantine kennels, a cat "room", and ten covered indoor/outdoor kennels. Animals are generally given 5-7 days to be found, adopted, rescued, or euthanized. This myspace was created in order to bring awareness and hopefully unite loving, wonderful people to adopt dogs that just won't have a chance. There are no second chances to adopt these dogs... if it says ONE day left, if the dog is not "commited" or "pulled" from the shelter by 3 PM on the day stated, it will be put to sleep. Always remember that adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment that involves more than just puppy kisses, fetch, and long walks... it is an investment in the life of the pet you bring into your home and a promise that you will both be bettered by the decision to add a dog or cat to your family! Adoption fees are between 15-28$, with special cases being free or reduced.
