LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Hundreds of animals at the Kentucky Humane Society are waiting for their forever homes - and now is a great time to adopt. The shelter is offering reduced adoption costs for animals for the "Empty the Shelters" event this fall.
During the promotion, which will be held from Oct. 4 through Oct. 10, the adoption fee for dogs older than one year will be $25 and cats and kittens will be free to adopt.
Participating locations include the KHS East Campus on Lyndon Lane and the KHS Sam Swope Pet Treatment and Lifesaving Center on Steedly Drive.
"The Kentucky Humane Society is currently caring for over 400 cats and dogs, and ever animal who finds a loving home makes room for another needy pet," said KHS Shelter Operations Director Robin Vincent.
You can view all adoptable animals currently at the Kentucky Humane Society on their website.
