Hopkinsville, KY – Dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes are waiting to be adopted at the Christian County Animal Shelter. The shelter is at 2935 Russellville Road, and the phone number is 270-887-4175. Business hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and the shelter is closed for lunch from 12:30-1 p.m.

Bessie is a beautiful 2-year-old gray tabby Domestic Shorthair looking for a place to call home. She came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past or how she does with other cats, dogs, or children. What we do know is that she’s ready for a fresh start with a loving family.

Because Bessie’s history is a mystery, we encourage potential adopters to take advantage of our trial adoption program. We offer trial adoptions to help ensure she finds a home where she can truly thrive.

Bessie’s adoption fee is $60 plus tax. If you’re looking for a sweet companion and are willing to give this lovely tabby a chance, come meet Bessie today!

Shadow is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix. (Christian County Animal Shelter, Contributed)

Shadow is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with a loving heart and a playful personality. Through no fault of her own, Shadow has found herself back at the shelter after being returned for a second time. Her previous adopters cared about her but ultimately realized they couldn’t provide the amount of space and structure she needs to thrive.

Shadow is an affectionate girl who loves people and enjoys spending time with her family. She does well with children and gets along with other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for the right home. However, she is not a fan of cats and would do best in a cat-free household.

Because Shadow has some separation anxiety, she will need a home that understands her needs. She does best with plenty of room to run and play, and if she is inside while her family is away, she should be safely crated. A home with a secure yard or a family committed to providing lots of exercise would be ideal for this active girl.

Shadow is heartworm negative, spayed, current on vaccinations, and ready to start her next chapter.

  • Good with children
  • Good with other dogs
  • No cats
  • Needs space to exercise and thrive

Shadow has been waiting for the right family to see her potential. She doesn’t need a perfect home—just one that understands her needs and is willing to give her the love, patience, and stability she deserves. Could that be you? Adoption Fee: FULLY SPONSORED + tax.
