Petfinder | Cat Adoption Application | Dog Adoption Application Adopting a pet is a family affair. We love it when our animals find their adoptive families. It is important when considering adopting any pet that it is a well thought out process that involves the whole family. Adopting a pet should never be an impulse decision. You are making a lifetime commitment to your new pet and this should never be done without careful and thoughtful planning. Every time a pet is returned, it lessens their chances for another placement. If you're considering adopting a new pet, please take the time as a family to discuss it and have reasonable expectations of your new pet. It will be going through a lot of confusing changes and will need your patience and understanding. Love, patience and spending quality time with your pet are all important parts of pet ownership that will result in your having a wonderful new addition to your family. To adopt cats, call Lisa at 502-220-2014, or visit our shelter at 40 North Seventh Street in Shelbyville, KY. To adopt dogs, call Jennifer at 502-742-5465, or visit us weekends at PetsMart at 4601 Outerloop (near the Jefferson Mall) in Louisville, KY during PetsMart regular hours, Friday from 6 pm through Sunday at 5 pm. To see our adoptable pets, look here or visit Petfinder. If you see someone you like, click on their link for more information.

Adoption Fees: The cost of adopting a pet begins at $150 for puppies, $100 for dogs, $50 for cats and $75 for kittens. Any expenses above these basic costs will be noted on an individual basis on the information with each animal. Our adoption fees cover the spay/neuter of the animals, deworming, Frontline, current vaccines (we will cover the full set of puppy or kitten shots if you bring the animal to our clinic in Shelbyville on Tuesdays), feline leukemia test for cats, and heartworm test for dogs over six months of age, microchipping and 1 month of pet insurance through Sheltercare. Exceptions to the above fees will be noted in the PetFinder descriptions. We do appreciate those that take two animals home together, and to help with the cost of this, we will deduct $25 from the combined adoption fees. All adoption fees are non-refundable. Remember that your donations make the difference! Please support your Shelby County Humane Society. |
