Hermes

Meet Hermes! This handsome two-year-old guy came into the shelter as a stray. Hermes is a laid back gentleman that loves to sit in a lap or Netflix and chill. Hermes would love to keep you company. Will you be Hermes’ hero? He has been microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. Adopt him at the LMAS Animal House Adoption Center (3516 Newburg Rd). The adoption center is open from noon to 6pm Tuesday through Thursday, noon - 7pm on Fridays, and noon - six on Saturday and Sunday. Call 502-473-PETS or email AnimalServicesAdoption@louisvilleky.gov for more information.

Lazlo

Lazlo is too cool for shelter life! This three-year-old snazzy dresser came into the shelter as a stray. Lazlo has long legs that love to run and play. Unfortunately, the confines of his kennel don’t allow him to play as much as he likes. Lazlo dreams of a life outside of the shelter with his new best friend by his side. Will you be that best friend? Lazlo needs a home without cats. He has been microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. Adopt Lazlo at the LMAS Animal House Adoption Center (3516 Newburg Rd.). The adoption center is open from noon to 6pm Tuesday through Thursday, noon - 7pm on Fridays, and noon - six on Saturday and Sunday. Call 502-473-PETS or email AnimalServicesAdoption@louisvilleky.gov for more information. Lazlo is FREE to an approved adopter.
