How You Can Support Animals in Need
There are so many ways to support thousands of vulnerable cats, dogs and horses who come to the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) each year! A local nonprofit organization, KHS is the state’s largest pet adoption agency and is not a branch of any national humane organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible.
Donate (one-time or monthly)
KHS graciously accepts one-time and monthly donations through an online secure giving form. If you prefer to mail your gift, you can send it to 1000 Lyndon Lane Suite B, Louisville, KY 40222. Becoming a monthly donor to the Kentucky Humane Society is an easy and convenient way to provide the reliable support our animals depend on all year long. Don’t forget to see if your company matches your donation by visiting kyhumane.org/employer-matches.
Sponsor an Animal
Sponsorships help all pets who come to the Kentucky Humane Society by offsetting the costs of providing food, shelter, enrichment and veterinary care. It’s easy to sponsor an animal: simply click on any animal’s photo on our adoption pages and click “Sponsor Me” link below.
Dedication Paver
Create a lasting tribute to a loved one, honor the passing of a pet, friend or family member, make a birthday or special occasion unforgettable, or create a family treasure for generations to come by purchasing a personalized brick paver. Your honor or memorial gift will be recognized, and the family notified with a card and photo.
Wills/Estate Planning
The decision to include KHS in your will or estate plans shows a sincere commitment to the future care of pets in our community and a desire for your legacy of compassion to continue for years to come. Contact [email protected] to learn more.
IRA/Stock/DAFs
KHS supporters like YOU can plan to get a tax break while helping our furry friends with an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift. You’ll satisfy your required minimum distribution while also saving taxes and animals! You can also donate stock or give through your donor advised fund.
