- Our Signature Events
- Tails & Ales is our annual beer-tasting to benefit the animals. Attendees can sample beer, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages while listening to live music, playing games, bidding in the online auction, and hanging out with adoptable animals.
- Mutt Strut is a 1.5-mile dog walk held every spring. The funds from Mutt Strut come at a critical time of year when the number of animals in need is at its highest, and donations are hard to come by. Participants can shop exclusive LHS merchandise, support local vendors, and mingle with hundreds of fellow animal lovers!
- Doggie Paddle is Lexington’s largest pool party just for dogs! While you visit with local vendors and shop exclusive LHS merchandise, your pup(s) can splash around with their furry friends.
- Bark Bash closes out our calendar of events. This family-friendly fall festival features a pet costume contest, dozens of vendors, trunk-or-treat opportunities, live music, and so much more!
Get Involved
