Woodford Humane Society needs your help

VERSAILLES, Ky. (WTVQ)- There are only 6 days left to help the Woodford Humane Society reach their fundraising goal.

They are half way to their goal of $100,000 for their new Lucy Gay Bassett Memorial Fund.

The fund honors the legacy of the late Kentucky horsewoman who passed away in 2016 and aims to help the animals who come to Woodford Humane.

This fund will help with a variety of projects including animal care, enhancing play and training opportunities as well as providing better living space for the animals.
