Lancaster humane society gets $1,000

The Kentucky Cattlemen’s Foundation announced Tuesday six winners of its Animal Shelter Assistance program, including Central Kentucky Regional Humane Society in Lancaster and the Marion County Animal Shelter in Lebanon.

The Lancaster humane society will receive $1,000, which will be used to secure a green space behind the society’s shelter, providing a supervised running area for dogs.

The Marion County Animal Shelter will receive $500 to replace outdated computer equipment and an additional $250.

Other recipients include Barren River Animal Welfare Association in Glasgow ($500), Sylvia’s Animal Sanctuary Inc. in Owingsville ($1,000), Flora Shropshire Animal Shelter in Cynthiana ($1,000) and Paris Animal Welfare Society ($1,000).
