OREGON TO KENTUCKY:
MORE THAN MERELY MILES SEPARATE THE TWO STATES

If you've ever visited Clean Slate's website in the past, you may be noticing some changes now. Since our move to Kentucky last March, life has been busier than ever; we've been settling in, getting to know the area, and - most importantly - determining the next step for Clean Slate. While it was a beautifully simple task to adopt out our furred friends to loving forever homes in Oregon, Kentucky is another matter entirely. The situation here is dire: overpopulation runs rampant, breeding for much-needed cash goes unchecked, and animals are viewed as utilitarian and disposable. If you've noticed a scaled-down approach to our website, there's a reason for that: Our first and last goal is to educate the area and get animals spayed or neutered and out of here as quickly as possible. Fundraisers and more comprehensive programs will be in the works at a later date, but for now our focus must be on making a difference for the animals living in this deeply neglected part of the country. Read about our trials and tribulations in the Clean Slate blog, check out our many adoptable dogs and cats, and consider helping us set up a transport network to ship these highly adoptable companions to a more rescue-friendly area. It is indeed a whole new world here, filled with challenges, frustrations, and - of course - lots and lots of promise. Join us in providing a Clean Slate for Kentucky's neglected animal population!
