Because of your generosity, animals like Ice have a safe, happy place to call home for as long as it takes to find their family.

This November, your donation will have twice the impact, thanks to a generous matching gift from Patty & Dennis Foster. Every dollar donated this month will be matched up to $50,000, doubling your support for animals in need!

Here’s how your gift can help:

-$25 gives 2 cozy beds to cats in our cattery—4 beds with the match.
-$50 funds 5 microchips for animals before they find their families—10 with your gift today!
-$100 provides 2 spay or neuter surgeries—or 4, thanks to your support.

Ice has been with us for almost 500 days, waiting for a family to call her own. Because of YOU, she has a warm bed, toys, playtime, and love every day she waits. Donate today to give animals like Ice the chance they deserve—your support means everything.

Jet is an 8-year-old pit bull mix who has spent his whole life being loyal and loving, only to be surrendered by the family he trusted. Why anyone would give up such an incredible companion, we may never understand. Jet is a true gem—gentle, well-mannered, and full of love to give.

He’s a volunteer favorite, always walking calmly by your side, and getting along with other dogs, even cats. Jet doesn’t ask for much—just kindness, a soft place to rest, and someone who will make him feel loved.

Jet deserves a family who will cherish him and never let him feel the sting of abandonment again. Older dogs like him have so much love left to give, and they’re simply waiting for someone to open their heart. Could that someone be you?

Thank you to Vulcan Materials Company for sponsoring today’s Pet Pal!

Adopt Jet today! https://lexingtonhumanesociety.org/lhs_pet/jet/

It’s National Vet Tech Appreciation Week, and we’re beyond grateful for our incredible veterinary team! Their job is anything but easy—they face heart-breaking cases. Yet, through it all, they work tirelessly to heal and care for the thousands of animals that come through our shelter each year.

While the work is tough, they also get to witness the most rewarding moments—seeing animals who once arrived without love or hope transform and find homes. These second chances wouldn’t be possible without their expertise and compassion.
We are so proud of our vet team and deeply appreciate all they do to change lives!

Join us in thanking them for their dedication to these animals who deserve nothing but love!

Good morning from the LHS animals!

Hi, hi, good mornin' - from Kief! We wish everyone a happy Friday and a great day for the animals! AdoptLove.net

Happy Friday the 13th 🐈‍⬛🖤

We're not superstitious… well, we are a little stitious. But not about black cats! It’s Friday the 13th, and while some might find that spooky, we say it’s the purrfect day to bust the myth about black cats. These sleek, lovable felines often get overlooked in the shelter, but we know they’re truly special! Black cats are just as affectionate, playful, and full of personality as any other cat. Their fur color has no bearing on their hearts, which are just waiting to share all their love! This Friday the 13th, don’t fear the “curse” of black cats - embrace their charm! Adopt one today and make every day your lucky day! Visit our website to learn more! AdoptLove.net #fridaythe13th #friday13 #blackcats

Tomorrow is the big day—Doggie Paddle 2024 is almost here! One of our furry friends took a practice swim, and the waters are 100% ready for all the fun. If you haven’t registered yet, no worries!

We can’t help but share this sweet video of these "Birds of a Feather," Barkley & Isabella. When there's a bonded pair in the shelter, it means they must be adopted out together because they share a special attachment to each other. They share a kennel, get outdoor time together, and find comfort in one another. 💞 Separating them wouldn’t be fair, as Barkley and Isabella thrive in each other’s company. Even if it means taking longer to find them a home together, we will do all that we can for this duo! For any questions about bonded pairs or adoptions, please contact our adoptions specialists at 859-233-0044 x 223. Let’s find these inseparable siblings the home they deserve with double the love and twice the fun! ❤️

Today is the last day to win a free adoption! 🩵🐾
