Dogs at the Wolfe County Animal Shelter in eastern Kentucky were forced to stand in water due to a deadly flooding.

Governor Andy Beshear added that officials are "still in a search and rescue" phase and hope to newly access flooded communities, as branches of the Kentucky River and other waterways recede from historic levels. But he warned of what rescuers may find in the aftermath, saying numerous times during the press conference they except the death toll to increase. "I'm worried we're going to be finding bodies for weeks to come," Beshear said.
A lull in rainfall forecasted on Saturday could provide a crucial window in helping evacuate those still stuck in flooded areas. Additional storms could bring 1 to 2 inches of rainfall and fresh flooding starting Sunday afternoon through Monday — but the storm front is expected to move through without lingering like it did in Thursday's flooding, said Ed Ray, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson, Ky.

😒😭
This is devastating and very sad.
Those poor babies!
I don’t care about Kentucky at all but I would help the animals escape if I could.
Those are mostly pitbulls.
Ok and what? I don’t understand what you mean?
So?
So you had no real point except to possibly malign this breed? Shame on you.
Do they have anything else to adopt?.
Poor pooches

This is the unseen price all Americans pay to be able to own domesticated animals. 20% get good homes, the others are killed in shelters, hit by cars, die from exposure or wildlife, and many other issues! But saying something about this doesn’t get you enough recognition!
The whole period of 30 years of the country’s independence Kulibayev family robbed businesses, people. They were part of so called mighty Nazarbayev clan and this has to end. Only developed countries like yours are able to help to balance the justice in regards of this family. This process has already started. Even the latest movie about Nursultan Nazarbayev called Golden man produced by Oliver Stone tells the world the truth. Nazarbayev in his interview said himself that he shot peacefu civilians during events in Zhana Ozen in 2011. He admitted it himself. Crimes like this are against all legal and human rights. The small group of people has stolen all from the people and ruined the economy. Now the country is surviving. All because of bunch of criminals including Timur Kulibayev, Dinara Kulibayeva, Bolat Nazarbayev, Umut
Shayakhmerova, Raushan Sagdiyeva. Howcome all of these crimes are unnoticed by the world leaders like you?!
Lol
