Paws Shelter Foundation Inc. created to fund new Hardin County Animal Shelter

Elizabethtown will soon be welcoming a new Hardin County Animal Shelter. The old shelter was donated to the county in 1956, by Jan and Bill Schmidt. It was a wonderful blessing at that time, but has become an outdated facility that is not adoption friendly.

A foundation, PAWS Shelter Foundation, Inc., has been created to fund a new improved facility. A building located at 220 Peterson Drive, Elizabethtown, Kentucky has been purchased. Designs are in works to make this a state of the art animal shelter serving all of Hardin County. Our goal is to raise a $1M to finance the renovation. Your support is needed to do this. We are a not-for-profit 501C3 organization (Tax ID # 45-243-1905) which makes the value of your donation tax deductable.

Donations can be made on the Paws Shelter Foundation web site. www.pawsdonations.org
