| There's nothing more fun than a new pet!
One of the most rewarding things we do at the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) is
place our furry friends into permanent, loving homes. With the widest selection of pets in the area, you'll probably find the right pet for you and your family at KHS! Come see why KHS is the state's largest animal adoption agency!

Adopting a Friend
Selecting a Pet
KHS wants to help you and your new best friend remain "lifelong friends." KHS helps adopters select a canine or feline that best fits their individual lifestyles. Adoption Matchmakers also are available to help you select the perfect companion for your family and lifestyle.
Owning a pet is a long-term commitment, and KHS' goal is to ensure all adoters understand the responsiblities of pet ownership. We want both pets and people to find their new best friend!
Adoption Fee
$55-255 (plus an additional $9.50 for any applicable licensing fees)
Pets with a higher adoption fee leave a financial legacy for those animals who may need extensive medical care or just more time to find a lifelong home. To learn more about the "Lonely Hearts Club," click here.
The adoption fee includes:
- Spaying/neutering
- Microchipping
- Up-to-date vaccinations
- FREE "New Parent Seminar"
- Over $125 in KHS gift certificates (for the Eastpoint & Fern Creek Pet Resorts, Behavior Training program, adoptions and more!)
- $100 Feeders Supply coupon book
...on top of finding a lifelong friend!
We Now Can Hold an Animal for You!
For $25, you can place a 24-hour hold on an adoptable dog or cat either by credit card, cash or check (only accept credit card by phone). If you decide to adopt that pet, the $25 will be applied directly to his/her adoption fee. If you choose not to adopt, the $25 automatically becomes a donation to KHS. Questions? Call (502) 366-3355 today!
Adoption Process
All adoptable pets undergo a behavior evaluation and wellness exam, and remain up for adoption as long as health and behavior permits. There's no standard set time for adoptable animals to find a permanent, loving home.
It's often possible to adopt your new best friend on the spot. After selecting a dog or cat, potential adopters complete an adoption application, which is reviewed by one of our trained adoption team members. Please be advised that proof of address - current I.D., utility bill or check - will be required at the time of the adoption.

Please bring the completed application with you or fax to (502) 366-3653.
