Betty J. Martin L.I.F.E. House for Animals - Frankfort, Kentucky

What struck me the most about this cat and dog rescue center was how much natural light there was from all the wonderful windows. The cats have lots of things to climb on and sleep on in the sunshine.

The other thing I noticed was how clean the center was. Even in the cat rooms that have multiple litter boxes in a single room, there was no smell, no litter scattered on the floor, and all the bedding was fresh.

I love the fact that the center is basically staffed by volunteers, too. You can tell how much they love working with the animals, and I know my donations are going to help the animals.

If you are interested in adopting a cat or dog, you need to check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing No-Kill Shelter! Run heavily by volunteers, these people work hard to care for animals 24/7 and find them homes with love. They do “Check-me-out” and “Get Fit with Fido” events that encourage the community to come out and social with the animals, and get them off the property for a little while. Great place to visit, donate, or volunteer.

What a Heaven's place of hope, love, and uniting lost, abused and abandoned fur babies with families that have huge hearts and safe homes. Betty, her staff, and the volunteers are wonderful caregivers and give how to these animals through their tireless efforts and love. We fell in love with our Maggie the moment we saw her face, abs she's a welcomed addition to our other 2 fur baby family! It's takes a tremendous amount of time, patience, love, and gentle nurturing for these animals, but OH how our hearts have grown and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Betty Martin LIFE HOUSE for your next pet!

I appreciate all rescues, but I don't appreciate rescues that lie and abandon dogs at a high kill rate shelter after taking puppies then having attitude when people call them out with facts. After I called them out on their page, they have blocked me. So I have provided the information here below. Kiah(the name of the dog) was not adopted out. She is with another rescue, one that I work extremely close with actually, and I know the vet office that took her as well as the foster home she's at personally. For a rescue as well as an animal control facility to both claim that she was adopted as well as that the "adopter" had just lost their pet, is sick. Kiah was placed on the euthanasia list at Sumner County Animal Control right after Lifehouse took her puppies. The vet office that goes to SCAC to vet their cats, pulled her because they couldn't let them kill her. That same vet office contacted a foster for the local rescue because they knew we wouldn't fail her like so many others did. Kiah was at AC for THREE WEEKS, and she is extremely skinny. She should not be that skinny while there. She's now in a loving foster home who is providing her with all the best cuddles and care a pet could ask for. I have also attached pictures of Kiah, in one she is wearing a diaper and that is because they want to make sure she doesn't have any accidents in the house while they house train her. By the way, Lifehouse, it's not bashing if I have evidence, vet paperwork, etc. to prove you're wrong.

I adopted this sweet little guy from LIFE House and he is amazing!! The staff is absolutely wonderful. Friendly and courteous. I appreciate all that they do and am so grateful for my little guy!

I adopted my dog Bill Murray (formerly Buddy) almost 7 years ago from LIFE House and he is the greatest dog ever, which would by the transitive property of awesomeness make their rescue org the best ever. Seriously, they took the time to make sure we were a great fit, the adoption process was thorough but not intimidating and I'd recommend them to anyone worthy enough to be a pet owner. Here's a recent pic of my guy, he's got a gray muzzle now but still lively as ever and my constant companion.

This is a great rescue championed by a great lady, Betty Martin! We have got 2 rescues here now. Lifehouse loves and cares for all their fur babies. You will not be disappointed in the care given to these future pets!
