Adoption Center Closed 11/28-29
We will be closed Thursday-Friday November 28-29 so our staff can enjoy Thanksgiving! We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too – and know that we’re so thankful for the many ways you help us help animals in need! Regular business hours resume Saturday, November 30.
Adoption Center Open By Appointment
Due to ongoing understaffing, the Adoption Center is currently open by appointment. Check out our adoptable pets here and give us a call if you see somebody you’d like to meet or know more about! Thanks in advance for your understanding. Appointments are not required to volunteer or drop off donations.
Appointments are booked by phone starting at 10:00 am daily. Call 859.873.5491 to schedule! But first…read this.
Help Us Win $10,000!
We’re excited to be a finalist in the 2024 Bags-to-Riches program at J&H Outdoors in Lexington! Stock up on gear for the outdoorsy folks on your holiday shopping list and when you skip the bag at check-out you’ll be able to drop a token in our jar. At the end of December the organization with the most tokens will win $10,000!
J&H Outdoors is also donating the value of the skipped bag for every Bags-To-Riches token, so it’s good for the environment and a great cause, no matter who wins. And it’s a great opportunity to shop local!

Taking care of this many pets requires a lot of stuff! Our Wish List includes the things we use all the time and always need.

Why Shelters Are In Crisis
…and what you can do to help. Shelters across the country are facing an unprecedented overcrowding crisis driven by increased owner surrenders and record-low adoptions. In many ways, 2023 was our worst year since recordkeeping began in 2002. Learn more about how Woodford Humane is being impacted, and how you can help.
