The Woodford Humane Society's mission is to promote the well-being of animals through S.A.V.E: Spay/neuter, Adopt, Volunteer and Educate.
Rookie may be the new kid on the block here at the adoption center, but he's a pro at entertaining us with his puppy antics! When this silly, energetic boy gets in a playful mood (and that happens a lot, trust us), he can bounce around the yard with you for hours! One thing's for sure, Rookie knows how to keep a smile on your face. If you've been looking for a canine companion to grow up with, come on out and take a minute to get to know Rookie a little better; take him home, and he'll spend every day helping you discover your inner puppy!
Come meet Rookie at our adoption center today, or call us at 859 873 5491 to find out more about him!

Shelter Info...
The Woodford Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal organization located in Versailles, Kentucky. We provide shelter and care to the homeless and unwanted animals in Woodford County, surrounding counties, as well as animals from other states.
We have welcomed thousands of animals every year since 1975 and strive to find good, loving homes for all of them. A careful screening process helps us match the right animals to the right adoptive homes.
With no government funding, we are completely dependent on private contributions to continue to provide care to over one thousand animals each year. Our annual placement rate averages about 90%! The national average is around 25%. Our mission is to promote the well-being of animals through S.A.V.E: Spay/Neuter, Adopt, Volunteer and Educate.
In 2002, we joined a nationwide campaign called No More Homeless Pets. The mission of this effort is "to help bring about a time when every cat and dog that’s ever born can be guaranteed a good life with a loving family." At the Woodford Humane Society, we are striving to accomplish this mission through four areas, nicknamed SAVE: Spay/Neuter, Adopt, Volunteer, and Educate.
At any given time, we are home to approximately 200-300 animals available for adoption. Adoption counselors are on staff to assist with the selection of a new pet. We maintain a "wish book" for people seeking a particular breed and let them know when a match has been made.
Adoption fees include spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations and deworming while at our Adoption Center, feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm screening for cats, heartworm screening for dogs, a microchip with a lifetime registration, a free veterinary checkup and pet training DVD.
We provide counseling and offer advice for topics such as obedience training, housebreaking, helping your pet adapt to a new home and other behavioral issues.
Adoptable animals are held for as long as health, behavior and space permit. We have no standard set time for adoptable animals to find a new home, in fact some have stayed in our care for years as they await their new home.
If you wish to surrender a pet to the Woodford Humane Society, you must have an appointment. This ensures that we have available space and reduces stress for both pet and owner. Please call us at 859.873.5491 to find out more.
All animals received must pass an evaluation based on their health, known history and temperament before being placed for adoption.
The Woodford Humane Society's Adoption Center is located at 265 Thomas Lane in Versailles, Kentucky.
