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, and Adopt Love.

Our Mission

To advocate the compassionate treatment of animals; educate the community on responsible, lifelong pet ownership; and promote adoption as the best option when searching for a new pet.

Our Vision

We envision a time when every companion animal is treated with respect, care, and compassion as a valued, lifelong member of the family. A time when there are no more homeless animals resulting from irresponsible or noncommittal pet ownership.
