HELENA-WEST HELENA, Ark. Two Kentucky shelters helped an animal nonprofit save nearly 300 cats and dogs living in an overcrowded Arkansas shelter.
The Kentucky and Lexington Human Societies traveled to Helena, Arkansas, alongside BISSELL Pet Foundation and 14 other shelters to move 240 dogs and 30 cats out of the Humane Society of Delta.
BISSELL said the shelter in rural Arkansas was overcrowded with few staff members and little hope of adoptions.
