LMAS sends an urgent plea to the public for help reducing the kennel population to avoid euthanizing animals solely because the shelter is out of space:

ADOPT – All Adoption Fees are WAIVED for approved adopters. Every adoption includes a goodie bag and a voucher for a free bag of food from Feeders Supply. All adoptable pets at LMAS are already spayed-neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Adoption fees are waived but there is still a review and approval process. Jefferson County residents must also purchase a one-year, renewable pet license, a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance.

LMAS’ Animal House Adoption Center is located at 3516 Newburg Road. Walk-ins are welcome from 12-6pm daily. To view currently adoptable pets at LMAS, visit louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.

RECLAIM YOUR PET – All reclaim fees are WAIVED for currently impounded pets. Owners can reclaim their pet from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the LMAS Shelter, located at 3516 Newburg Road.  Reclaim fees will only be waived for pet owners with no previous violations, and cover microchipping, spay-neuter, licensing, and vaccination fees. Court fees will not be waived. LMAS will work with owners who have outstanding balances and want to reclaim their pet.

FOSTER – Volunteer to foster a homeless shelter pet. LMAS will provided all supplies needed to temporarily care for a shelter pet. You can foster a pet for the required 5-day stray hold period, for a weekend or longer. To apply to become an LMAS foster and view the foster care manual, visit louisvilleky.gov/government/animal-services/services/foster-care.
