Friends of Powell County's Pets in Stanton, KY
Friends of Powell County's Pets is a nonprofit animal shelter in Stanton, Kentucky, located in Powell County about 30 miles west of Richmond, KY. The organization rescues abandoned dogs and cats and works to educate the community to help prevent pet homelessness, describing itself as "small but scrappy." Much of its work relies on a network of foster homes and volunteers who pull animals from the county pound and coordinate transports—often to partner rescues in the northeastern U.S., Ohio, and Canada—to place them in adoptive or rescue homes. The group also promotes spay/neuter efforts to curb overpopulation and partners with local businesses like PetSmart in Richmond and Ace Hardware in Stanton for adoption events and fundraising.
