Saving Paws Animal Rescue of Kentucky

SparKy

SparKy is a no-kill animal sheltering facility located in Owensboro, KY. We are an independent 501(c)3 tax-exempt animal rescue organization.

More Than a Rescue

At SparKy, we not only want to get animals into loving homes, we also want to keep them there.

Spay & Neuter

Spaying and neutering saves lives. Period. The number of unwanted and homeless animals decreases, euthanasia rates decrease, and the health benefits to your animal and the community are numerous. We've teamed up with Friends of the Shelter (FOTS) in Ohio County, Kentucky to provide low-cost spay and neuter services

Community Pet Food Pantry

The rising cost of taking care of a pet forces some to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome their beloved cat or dog. We want animals to stay in loving homes. The SparKy Community Pet Food Pantry can provide resources to those in need.

The Handsome Cat Cafe - COMING SOON!

Opening soon at 1722B Sweeney Street in the Thatch Shopping Center, we’re blending cozy coffee vibes with cuddly, adoptable cats to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

Adopt

Adopting from a rescue saves a life and opens space for another animal in need. You gain a loyal companion while supporting a compassionate mission. Rescue pets are grateful, loving, and often already vetted—making adoption a kind, smart, and heartwarming choice. Change their world—and yours.

Volunteer

From fostering in your home to cleaning kennels and cages at our rescue center, to helping at events and fundraisers, there's something for everyone. Those under 18, will need parental permission, and those under 14 need to be accompanied by a responsible adult. Check our our volunteer page for more information.

Donate

SparKy receives no government assistance, so donations are always needed and appreciated. Donations of items can be dropped off at our rescue center. Donate through our Chewy and Amazon wish lists. Click here to learn more about how you can donate to SparKy!
