Saved By Fate Dog Rescue was founded to be a community resource for Kentucky animal shelters and residents. We see two possible solutions to help alleviate the animal overpopulation issue: Maximize the number of dogs and cats pulled from Kentucky animal shelters into our foster homes and provide spay and neuter resources to Kentucky residents who cannot afford to do so on their own.
