Founded in 1889 by J. William Sayre, the Lexington Humane Society (LHS) is a 501(c)3 organization solely dependent on private donations, grants and community support. We receive no operating support from the government or national animal welfare groups, including HSUS or the ASPCA. Among other things, LHS is the largest pet adoption agency in Central Kentucky, we educate the community on responsible pet care and the compassionate treatment of all animals, and we spay/neuter the pets of qualifying families at a low cost. Simply stated, we Give Love, Teach Love, Adopt Love!
Our assortment of animals changes daily, so having an idea of the age, size, breed, and characteristics you are looking for can be helpful in your search. Check out our Finders-Keepers program and online Resource Center to do some pre-adoption research. Visit our 2 adoption locations and look at our adoptable pets posted online. If you don’t see quite what you’re looking for, register for our concierge-style First Contact service. Adopting a pet is a life-long commitment and we want to make sure you are selecting the right pet for your family, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you have any questions about finding the right pet, our adoption specialists are here to help!
