Officers responded to the 4800 block of Brenda Drive just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell.
The 3-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries in the attack, Mitchell said.
According to 911 audio, the child had reportedly fallen out of a window into his family's yard, where the family's two Rottweilers attacked the child.
The dogs were taken away by Louisville Metro Animal Services, Mitchell said. A spokesperson for the animal services agency confirmed the department had been on the scene and said animals involved in incidents such as this one are placed in quarantine.

Ice shelves are essentially floating extensions of glaciers that hold back the flow of ground ice.
When an iceberg breaks off an ice sheet it is known as 'calving'.
Calving is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption, and is caused by a glacier EXPANDING, not melting.
Kelly Brunt, a glaciologist with Nasa and the University of Maryland, explained "the process of formation was a bit like a fingernail growing too long and cracking off at the end."

It started with a 2.6 magnitude temblor around 11:18 a.m. near Lilbourn, a small city just north of Missouri's boot heel, according to the United States Geological Survey. A mere three minutes later, a 1.1 magnitude quake rumbled nearby.

It would be 23 minutes before the next quake, another magnitude 2.7, shook an area just west of Lilbourn, the USGS says.
All five quakes happened within a 40-minute window.
