We have many cats, kittens, dogs and puppies available for adoption. To see a current list with photographs, go to hsncpets.petfinder.com. Not all available animals are on the website, so you may want to visit the Shelter. You can also see pets in The Kentucky Standard and on Bardstown's cable station, PLG-TV "Pet of the Week" segment (Wednesdays, with hourly news starting at 6 PM). Requirements: You must be at least 18 years old. If you live in rental property, you must have your landlord's permission. Adoption Fees:
$100 for dogs and puppies, $60 for cats and kittens. (As of 2006,
all pets adopted from our shelter will be microchipped, and all
pets that are at least 3 months old will also have had a one year
rabies vaccination.) Please understand that we do not sell pets for a profit. Based on our conversation with the potential adopter as to what type home--age of children, other pets, physical environment, lifestyle--we are attempting to place these pets with responsible, committed owners in homes where the pets are most likely to live long, happy lives. Shelter animals are not for everyone, and may have health and behavioral problems that require extra effort and expense. Remember that you are "rescuing", not "purchasing," when you adopt from an animal shelter. Returns: We will always take back an animal that was adopted through our program. Depending on the circumstances and length of time elapsed, we may refund the fee. Complete our online adoption form or Download Adoption Application and mail to: Humane Society of Nelson County |
