A new Lexington Humane Society pro- gram could make it eas- ier for dogs to find new families. The humane society began this spring its Check Me Out Program, which allows members of the community to spend a day with an adoptable dog at no cost.
Prospec- tive adopters and volun- teers can check out a dog and take it out on the town to get to know the four-legged pal a little better. Up to eight dogs are available to check out daily and return, said Ashley Hammond, direc- tor of fundraising at the humane society. The humane society will provide a tumbler of water, portable water bowl, two leashes, a collar, a treat pouch and treats. The dogs get to wear bandannas. Since its soft launch earlier this spring, the program has not led directly to any adoptions, but allowed the or- ganization to learn more about the dogs.
really looking for with this program is to socialize the animals and make sure comfortable in the Hammond said. learn more about the dogs when hang- ing out with people in the Downtown Lexington, the Kentucky Horse Park, the Arboretum, and dog-friendly stores are good places to take dogs while checked out, Hammond said. Dogs eligible for the program must be at least six months of age or older and must play well with children and other animals, according to the humane society. To check out a dog, a valid ID and a working cell phone are required. The humane website has more in- formation on the pro- gram.
Hammond said a lot of volunteers have checked out dogs to help the hu- mane society learn about the canines' traits and characteristics. have been very fortunate to have a won- derful community who want to get the animals out and want to get in- she said. Humane society program makes dogs available to check out BY MIKE STUNSON system by paying a lump sum equal to future pro- jected benefits payments; or buy their way out in installment payments over 30 years. It contin- ues a freeze on pension costs for another year. House Speaker David Osborne, R-Prospect, said earlier this month that some legislators want to make sure em- ployees of the affected groups keep the option to retain their current bene- fits if they have been in the state plan since 2013.
House Minority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins, D-Sandy Hook, said House Democrats not support any plan that will unfairly cut retire- ment benefits for thou- sands of employees; saddle our public health departments, rape crisis centers and regional universities with decades of debt; and cost the state and public retire- ment system hundreds of millions of Adkins said House Democrats have not been part of any dis- cussion about changes in proposed bill making repeat- ed attempts to work in a bipartisan Adkins also contended that the bill needs a sup- er majority 60 votes in the 100-member House because of state con- stitutional requirements in odd-numbered years for appropriations. Re- publicans claim only 51 are needed to pass the pension bill. Republicans outnumber Democrats in the House 61 to 39. Several legislative leaders have said it would take at least five working days to get a bill through both the House and Senate and a special session preferably would start on a Monday.
