Adopters Welcome!
The Kentucky Humane Society is welcoming adopters! Take the first step towards bringing home a new furry friend from KHS by completing an adoption interest form at kyhumane.org/adoption-interest-form. After you complete this online form, you’ll be ready to come meet our adoptable dogs and cats. Walk-ins are always welcome at our Sam Swope Pet TLC (241 Steedly Drive) and East Campus (1000 Lyndon Lane). If you don’t meet the perfect pet for you during your first visit, please come back; we welcome new animals to KHS daily!
**Please note: The adoption interest form DOES NOT apply to Purrfect Day Cat Cafe or Equine adoptions. Completing this form DOES NOT put a specific animal on hold or guarantee adoption. Forms are valid for 6 months and apply to one animal adoption.

We Can Hold an Animal for You!
Unless there is an adoption special involving the pet, a hold may be placed on a cat or dog with a $25 hold fee, paid by credit card, cash or check. The hold is valid until the close of the following business day. This $25 hold fee is in addition to the pet’s adoption fee and is nonrefundable, even if the adopter decides not to adopt. Holds may only be placed in person while the adoption locations are open.
30 Days of Pet Health Insurance
Did you know that every Kentucky Humane Society adoptable dog and cat comes with 30 days of health insurance through MetLife Pet Insurance? Ask an adoption counselor for details.
