Giving in Honor or Memory of a Loved One
Giving an honor or memorial gift is a meaningful way to recognize a loved one — two-legged or four-legged. Your gift is not only a tribute to someone special in your life, but it helps the Kentucky Humane Society continue serving thousands of homeless cats and dogs in our community.
- In memory of a pet or loved one
- Honoring your parents on Father’s Day and/or Mother’s Day
- Celebrating birthdays (pet and human!)
- In lieu of holiday gifts
- Recognizing wedding and anniversary dates
- Celebrating graduations and major achievements
- Honoring outstanding employees
- Or, for the animal lover who has everything
Your honor or memorial gift will be recognized, and the family notified with a card and photo. We will contact you to discuss options.
- We’ll send a special card to the individual or family you have honored
- We’ll send you the Paw Street Journal for free (if your gift is $25 or more).
You can make your gift in the following the ways:
- Make a secure gift online
- Make a gift via phone – call (502) 515-3145
- Make a gift by mail. Send your check to Kentucky Humane Society, 1000 Lyndon Lane Suite B, Louisville, KY 40222*
*Please include the following in the comments box online or with your gift by mail: who the gift is in honor/memory of, as well as a name and address of where to send a card.
Order a Dedication Paver
Celebrate your memories and loved ones by making them a permanent part of the Kentucky Humane Society! Create a lasting tribute to a loved one, honor a passing of a pet, friend or family member, make a birthday or special occasion unforgettable, or create a family treasure for generations to come. These attractive, engraved bricks are will be laid at our Animal & Community Campus, slated to open in fall 2027. Small pavers will be located in the memorial garden, while large pavers will be located along the entrance pathway.
