Animal Shelters in Kentucky

Kentucky has 212 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 65 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Louisville has more than any other Kentucky city, followed by Lexington and Owensboro. Somewhere on this list is a Kentucky dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

Kentucky has 212 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

Louisville has more than anywhere else in Kentucky, followed by Lexington, Owensboro and Somerset. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

Jefferson, Kenton and Fayette counties have the most, though listings reach 65 of Kentucky's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
