KHS Centralizes Adoptions to 3 Locations, Reopens Steedly Adoptions
After 23 successful years of partnering with Feeders Supply, KHS to centralize adoptions at three locations and increase pet retention services
LOUISVILLE KY – For 23 years, the Kentucky Humane Society and Feeders Supply have partnered to find loving homes for shelter dogs and cats, with Feeders Supply stores providing space for KHS adoption centers.
But with changes in animal welfare, KHS has decided to centralize their adoptions to three key locations: their East Campus at 1000 Lyndon Lane, their Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center at 241 Steedly Drive, and adoptions at Purrfect Day Café on Bardstown Road.

To facilitate social distancing, the Kentucky Humane Society is now offering adoptions by appointment at our East Campus at 1000 Lyndon Lane and at our Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center at 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville. We are unable to allow walk-ins at this time, and appointments must be booked in advance.
