THANK YOU, MAS VOLUNTEERS & FOSTERS!!
๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™
We appreciate each of you so much! We had the honor of cohosting the Volunteer & Foster Appreciation Party this year. The city shelter faces overpopulation regularly, with just around 10,000 animals coming into the shelter last year. While the staff works hard to rescue and find new homes for the lost pets of Louisville, the Volunteers and Fosters are lesser-known heroes working behind the scenes. The Volunteers and Fosters at Louisville Metro Animal Services are a force to be reckoned with. The people at MAS are some of the kindest and loudest advocates for animals in our community.

The Volunteers and Fosters never hesitate when the shelter needs help - getting dogs out of kennels, overnighting baby animals, and showing up to help with regular shelter upkeep. We can't thank you enough for the difference you make in our community. We hope you all had a good time at our Appreciation Party for you! Thank you for helping restore hope in animal welfare in our community!

Ashley Tunget is known to go above and beyond at work. One of the areas she really shines in is fostering at Louisville Metro Animal Services ! ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿถ

Whether she's at work or at home, she's always got animals on her mind. She has helped foster at MAS for almost 15 years now. She joined the staff team 2 years ago, and she's still fighting strong for animal welfare. She's one of the many thoughtful Adoption Coordinators at MAS. She gives her whole team a shoutout because their teamwork is invaluable.

Thank you, Ashley, for helping animals find their furever homes through different stages of the process!
