Canine Olympics is 10/20!
Sit, Stay, Compete! Join us at Falling Springs Park on Sunday, October 20 for an afternoon of dog-friendly, family-friendly fun.

Registration opens at noon, Blessing of the Animals at 12:30 pm, and the games begin at 1:00 pm.

Why Shelters Are In Crisis

In many ways, 2023 was our worst year since recordkeeping began in 2002. Learn more about how Woodford Humane is being impacted, and how you can help.
