2024 Results – By the Numbers!

2024 Highlights:

NEW! PETS4LIFE PETCARE RESOURCE CENTER: As a recipient of the Petsmart Charities Incubator grant, we were able to expand services to help people with pet food and basic pet needs. In order to build a presence in our target area, we opened a dedicated office at the California Community Center. The office will serve as a focal point for programming and will host Pet Resource Days and ‘Office Hours’ to assist pet families witih individual needs.

NEW! CUSTOMER SERVICE HUB: Launched a Customer Service Hub to provide support for all pet families in our target areas. This virtual customer assistance service will provide pet care guidance, referrals, transportation assistance and one-on-one support.

NEW! PETCARE HUBSPOTS: As a result of the relationships that we built, we have established three ‘Hubspots’ in the 40210 zip code area for providing services (California Community Center, Park Hill Area and The Lord’s Kitchen). In 2024, these hubspot locations hosted pop-up pet food and pet resource distribution events. In the future we plan to host vet clinics, vaccine clinics and S/N events in these areas.

NEW! PUPPY OUTREACH: AIn response to a Parvo Outbreak, we began holding small puppy outreach days throughout the west end neighborhoods where we provided dewormer and vaccines to help prevent Parvo and other diseases that run rampant in the area. This was a stop-gab initiative to help prevent illness and death until we are able to provide veterinary services in the area.

We’re over the moon here at Pets4Life Louisville! Thanks to someone in our community who believed in what we do, we received an amazing $5,000 donation from Meijer on Preston Highway! Through the Meijer Team Gives program, the team members at Store 166 came together to vote, and they chose Pets4Life Louisville to receive this gift. We are so grateful and inspired by this kind of support—it shows how each of us can truly make a huge difference!

At Pets4Life, we’re all about keeping pets where they belong: at home, safe and loved with their families. This donation from Meijer will help us provide even more of the essential resources—like food, medical care, and supplies—that many families need to keep their pets healthy and happy. Every dollar will go back into the community, helping families who might be facing tough times and keeping pets out of overcrowded shelters.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone at Meijer Store 166 who voted for us, and to the community member who nominated us! You’ve shown that every single person can help make our community a kinder place, and we’re beyond honored to have your support. Thank you for believing in us and helping us to help people keep their Pets4Life!

Pets4Life Louisville is honored to be selected as one of only eleven organizations (out of nearly 200 considered) across the USA to be a Petsmart Charities Incubator grantee! This transformative grant brings together a cohort of nonprofit animal welfare organizations, all focused on improving access to veterinary care in predominantly Black communities that have historically been underserved. Our work will concentrate on the 40210 zip code, including the Park Hill, California, and Algonquin neighborhoods.

In collaboration with PetSmart Charities, the Institute for Human-Animal Connection (IHAC) at the University of Denver is providing research and evaluation support. This partnership is vital as we conduct focus groups, interviews, and surveys to directly learn from the community how we can enhance our programs.

Research Update

In mid-April, we successfully conducted our first focus group with 16 participants from the 40210 zip code at The Lord’s Kitchen. The insights gathered have been instrumental in developing a survey designed by IHAC to delve deeper into the community’s experiences with pet and veterinary care. Our goal over the next two months is to complete 200 surveys. These surveys will help us understand the true needs and wants of pet families in our area, enabling us to tailor our services effectively.

Partnership Updates

At Pets4Life Louisville, we believe in the power of collaboration. Our impact is magnified through our partnerships with various organizations, businesses, government groups, and nonprofits. This summer, we’ve been working closely with Louisville Parks & Recreation, Louisville Metro Animal Services, Louisville Metro Housing Authority, Olmsted Parks Conservancy, The Lord’s Kitchen, Dare to Care, Snip-N-Save, and Pet Wants – J-Town. Together, we are creating a robust support network for pet families in the 40210 zip code.

Community Building and Outreach Update

Our efforts are centered around establishing three distinct Pets4Life Petcare Hubs throughout the 40210 area:

1. Park Hill Pets4Life Petcare Hub: Focused on the Parkway Place Housing complex and surrounding areas, this hub will provide a small pet resource center.
2. The Lord’s Kitchen Petcare Hub: Leveraging the nonprofit’s six-days-a-week events, this hub will be a focal point for pop-up pet resource and care events.
3. California Community Center Hub: In the northern part of our target zip code, this hub will offer a dedicated pet resource center with ample space for workshops and educational events.

To date, our outreach efforts have connected us with 118 new pet families, providing support for 208 pets through pet food, treats, leashes, collars, and other supplies. We’ve also partnered with Snip-N-Save to ensure all pets have ID tags, helping them reunite with their families if lost. Additionally, our mobile outreach has assisted 17 pets with urgent needs like vaccinations, deworming, and nail trims.

Looking Ahead

In the next 2-3 months, we will continue to focus on building relationships and conducting research. As we move into the fourth quarter, we hope to pilot new programs based on the results of the research surveys. While we don’t yet know what the solutions will be, our aim is to develop innovative and sustainable ways to provide veterinary care. These pilot programs may include various models for delivering vet care, vaccines, spay/neuter services, and other pet services, potentially utilizing mobile services, televet consultations, and creative transportation solutions to improve access. Additionally, we will seek more volunteers and partnerships to further expand our reach and impact.

If you’re interested in volunteering or partnering with us, please visit our ‘Ways to Help” website page to learn more. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of pets and their families in our community.

Thank you for your continued support!

We are thrilled to share that Pets4Life Louisville has been chosen as one of only 11 recipients of the impactful Petsmart Incubator Grant, recognizing our vital work in the Louisville community to help pets. This grant aims to improve access to veterinary care in underserved communities, and we are excited about the positive impact it will bring to our local area.

Pets4Life Louisville attends Petsmart Charities Session in Phoenix

As part of the grant process, our team members, Karen and Kristin, recently traveled to Phoenix for an intensive training session with Petsmart Charities and The Institute for Human-Animal Connection. This experience was invaluable, equipping us with the knowledge and resources needed to make a real difference in our community.

With the support of this grant, Pets4Life Louisville will focus its efforts on the 40210 zip code, which includes the Park Hill, California, and Algonquin neighborhoods. Our primary goals for 2024 are to build strong relationships within the community and conduct thorough research to better understand and support local pet owners.

We are in the process of establishing a ‘Petcare Hub’ to provide comprehensive support for all pet families, along with a ‘Petcare Hub Resource Center’ where residents can access pet supplies, food, and attend workshops and events. These initiatives will not only enhance pet retention but also ensure fewer pets end up homeless which will benefit the entire community.

Our regular program of vaccine and wellness clinics will continue as we expand our services to better serve the 40210 community. We are committed to making sustainable veterinary care accessible to all pet families and are grateful for the ongoing support from our community.

This grant will allow us to make a significant impact on the entire community’s pet population. By focusing on pet retention in one area of the city, we ultimately contribute to the well-being of all pets in the community. Our efforts reduce strays and owner surrenders, leading to fewer pets entering the local shelter and ultimately fewer homeless pets. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress and how you can get involved in this exciting journey!

2023 Highlights:

PET WELLNESS CLINICS: Once more, we collaborated with ‘The Table’ in the Portland area to host our comprehensive pet wellness clinics, surpassing mere basic vaccinations. These clinics extend a helping hand to the community by offering highly affordable veterinary examinations and services. Alongside essential preventative care like vaccines, dewormers, and flea medicines, we administered microchips and addressed prevalent health issues such as ear, skin, and eye infections. Moreover, each pet received several months’ worth of flea prevention, ensuring their continued well-being.

COMMUNITY VACCINE CLINICS: Teaming up with the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, we continuted our expansion into Chickasaw Park, aiming to connect with a broader spectrum of pet owners residing within our specified zip codes. These new clinics are not just about convenience—they’re a lifeline for our community. Offering vital services such as vaccines, dewormers, and microchipping, we’re ensuring accessibility to essential pet care at an incredibly low entrance fee, prioritizing the well-being of beloved pets in our target audience.

NEW! COMMUNITY PET DAYS: In 2023, we collaborated with Louisville Parks & Recreation to offer Community Pet Days across three vibrant centers in Louisville: Sun Valley, Beechmont, and Southwick. These Community Pet days served as hubs for essential pet care, delivering vaccines, dewormers, and microchipping at an incredibly accessible entrance fee. But it doesn’t stop there. These events were holistic gatherings where diverse pet organizations converged to offer a wealth of information and invaluable resources to enrich the lives of pet families in attendance.

LMAS SPAY/NEUTER VOUCHER PROGRAM: We sustained our collaboration with LMAS (Louisville Metro Animal Services) to support individuals seeking Spay/Neuter services. This essential program, fueled by a generous grant from Best Friends, plays a pivotal role in aiding pet owners within our designated zip codes. Through our Spay/Neuter Voucher program, we aim to curb unwanted births and significantly reduce the number of homeless pets within our community, contributing to a more compassionate and responsible pet ownership landscape.

On Saturday, December 16th, Pet Wants – J-town transformed into a hub of holiday cheer during our delightful ‘Photos with Ms. Claus’ event. This heartwarming occasion not only brought together furry friends and their humans for memorable snapshots but also served as a beacon of generosity and support for our community’s pets in need.

At the heart of this event was Rich, the compassionate owner of Pet Wants, whose unwavering commitment to animal welfare has been nothing short of inspiring. Through pet food drives, donating raffle items and hosting events, Rich has been a great supporter to Pets4Life Louisville and other animal welfare groups in our community.

Partnering with Rich, our Pets4Life Committee Member, Karen G., brought the magic of Ms. Claus to life, spreading joy and warmth throughout the event. Her dedication and embodiment of the festive spirit added an extra layer of enchantment to ‘Photos with Ms. Claus,’ making the day even more special for attendees.

Throughout the day, the store buzzed with joy, laughter, and wagging tails as pets posed for pictures with the ever-charming Ms. Claus, portrayed by our wonderful Karen G. Families and their furry companions reveled in the festive atmosphere, creating cherished memories that will be treasured for years to come.

Here are some photos from the event:

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and helped make ‘Photos with Ms. Claus’ at Pet Wants – J-town an unforgettable celebration of joy, compassion, and community spirit. Your support means the world to us and to the animals we aim to help.

New for 2023 we are introducing our new Mission Partner Program. Pets4Life has a great track record of working closely with other organizations and now we have a plan to develop more win/win partnerships!

A Mission Partner is any business or group that we are partnering with to fulfill our mission of bringing pet wellness services to the underserved pet owners of the Louisville community. Here are just some of the ways we can partner with other organizations to help the most needy pets (and their owners) in our community!

• Vet Clinics/Hospitals: Select a clinic date and provide volunteer vets & techs to work at one of our vaccine or wellness clinics. The whole team can work together to help pets who do not have access to vet care. What an amazing way to give back!
• Animal or other nonprofits: Partner with Pets4Life by participating in our clinics/events. Opportunities include providing pet food & supplies, offering your pet/people services to the underserved pet owners, and providing education on a variety of pet and other topics.
• Corporate Sponsors: Larger businesses can support underserved pet owners by sponsoring a clinic and providing volunteers. Employees love supporting animal organizations and because we are a small, all-volunteer organization, 100% of all donations go directly to helping animals.
• Pet Services/Businesses: Small pet retailers, dog park bars, or dog service businesses can host microchip clinics or hold fundraising events to raise awareness and help people keep their Pets4Life!
• Small Local Businesses: We would love to partner with local businesses such as restaurants, bars & retailers. These businesses can host fundraising nights/events with proceeds to Pets4Life Louisville. Other ideas include hosting a pet food drive, hosting an Angel Tree or holding a Holiday Photo Event (ex. Pictures with Santa)
• Schools/Scouts: Young people working on service hours or scout projects (such as Gold Awards or Eagle Scouts) can volunteer at a Pets4Life clinic, or conduct a food drive or pet supplies drive.
