Interviews, Tours And School Projects
Due to a busy season while being short-staffed, we are implementing new, temporary protocols at Lexington Humane Society. Interviews, Tours, and School Projects will be temporarily suspended. Please check back periodically for updated information.
Lexington Humane Society appreciates all the support as we continue to Give Love, Teach Love, and Adopt Love in our community! Part of teaching the community about the work we do includes taking the time to meet with our supporters to answer valuable questions and give you the chance to learn more about how we care for the homeless animals. Below is an overview of who we are, what we do, and how people can help us the most. After reviewing this helpful information, if you would like to schedule an interview or a tour, please scroll to the bottom and fill out the form provided. Please note that all tours and interviews must be scheduled a minimum of one week in advance.
