Lost & Found Pets

Thank you for helping a stray or homeless animal in need. BRAWA partners with Petco Love Lost to help reunite families with their missing companions.

SNAP 

(Spay/Neuter Assistance Program)

Low-cost subsidies are available for income-eligible families. Reducing the numbers of unwanted pets through spay and neuter is the MOST effective method of reducing pet overpopulation. (LEARN MORE)

Microchipping

Microchipping is the only permanent way to ensure your pet can be identified if they are ever lost or stolen. BRAWA offers microchipping clinics for just $25 per pet. It increases the likelihood of a lost pet being recovered by more than 50% for dogs and 20-fold for cats.

Surrendering a Pet

BRAWA is an Open Admission Shelter. We serve as the only source of help for thousands of homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals in Barren County, regardless of their health, age, or temperament.

Trap Loan Program

Humane traps are available for hire to humanely capture feral cat populations in our community for TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts.

Lost & Found Pets

Thank you for helping a stray or homeless animal in need. If the animal is in danger or cannot be safely contained, contact your local Animal Control. Never approach an animal that appears aggressive.

​

Remember, someone may be searching for their lost pet. In Kentucky, stray adult dogs are held for five days before becoming available for adoption.

Surrendering a pet

If you can no longer care for your pet, BRAWA may be able to help. We are an Open Admission Shelter and accept owner surrenders for Barren County residents as space permits.
 

To surrender a pet:
 

  • You must be a Barren County resident (proof of residency is required).

  • The pet must be one you can no longer care for or support.

  • Admission is based on available space.
     

Please call the shelter before bringing your pet so we can discuss your situation and current availability.
