11/9-10: Veterans/Military Adopt Free!
Veterans, active duty military, and military dependent families adopt for free during our annual Pets for Veterans adoption event this weekend, thanks to sponsorship from G&J Pepsi and Republic Bank and support from our friends at Classic Rock 92.1! Appointments and approved adoption applications are required; check out our adoptable pets and give us a call starting at 10:00 am daily to book an appointment!
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.
Canine Olympics is 10/20!
Thanks for a great Canine Olympics! We had a blast with our largest crowd since 2019, and we hope you did, too! Games results are posted now, and photos will be coming soon. Special thanks to our staff and volunteers, our competitors (and non-competitors) and their people, our sponsors, our vendors, and everyone else who helped make it a great afternoon. Keep training, and we’ll see you next fall!

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.
