If I could give less than 1 star and be able to leave a review, I most definitely would. This is…read moreprobably one of the worst places for any animal to be -- if I didn't have to return the kitten I got from them to them, due to a clause in their contract, I would have rather her to Lexington Humane Society or give her to someone who could have cats/kittens (unfortunately my apartment turned into a no animals allowed unless it's a service animal). They aren't honest with you about the cats/kittens whether you call the humane society or whether you call petsmart. We adopted a kitten and her whole face got bloated, her eyes were red and watery, swollen, and she was sneezing hardcore. I don't usually own cats so I called and asked them about it, they were completely clueless. "yeah, maybe some dust got in her face and she started sneezing." Puh-lease. I was born at night, but not last night. I googled and used tik tok and found out she had a respiratory infection. So I had to use more money to go help her out because the vet said that she has had it since she was born so it would be a reoccurring thing, but PAWS told me that she was perfectly healthy. I then found out I had to return her because of my apartment no longer being pet friendly, and I could not get grandfathered in even tho I had asked. They were so hard to get ahold of until I finally could and I asked if we could pay cash or card, they said either. I told them I didn't get paid for a couple days after I drop off, is there any extra fees? They told me no, then told my partner once they got there, it was 13 dollars, with the card fee and if "we didn't have it, then we had to take her back." Despicable place. PETSMART should get rid of their partnership or whatever they have with them. And someone should probably go close them down. Never EVER adopt from them or take your animals there. Horrible people who work there with no empathy and horrible environment for animals.

I am so thankful for the services this organization provides for our community. They are friendly…read moreand professional and truly care about the animals they rescue. They have helped me spay and neuter six feral cats that have shown up on our farm, helping to decrease the population of unwanted kittens being born out in the wild.

I 100% dont recommend woodford humane society. They cancled my appointment just because they are…read morerude and racist. Everyone go to lexington humane society they are nice and helpfull and dont ask so many quesitons. The employes were being so rude to my daughter on the Phone ​. She clearly told the employee that we could take the paper work to them in person but no they wanna be racist and ignore her and say "you cant email it" like if the email doesnt work why do you think she was offering to go in person to show you guys the paper for my dog. And they got mad at my daughter when they called my dogs vet because we didnt have a appointment when my daughter never said we were taking my dog to get her vacacciens at búfalo trace just straight lying to her face and the employee told my son she talled to on the Phone that my daughter doesnt know how to talk like an adult. Just straight lies she was telling my son. Woodford humane society do better. Im so pissed

I adopted Nicole 4th of July weekend she was a three month old baby kitten. I had a great…read moreexperience and highly recommend this location for adoption. The online registration process was simple, the staff is friendly and assistive, and all the cats were well tended to. Nicole acclimated to my home right away with no signs of fear or having been neglected any time prior to her adoption. She had all of her shots up to date, was neutered, and was litter box trained. Today she is triple in size and weight, climbs stairs in a single bound, and loves to purr loud.

I've never been so disappointed trying to adopt an animal. I reached out to the Nelson County…read moreAnimal Shelter through every possible method -- Facebook, their website form, email, and phone -- and after three days, no one had even bothered to review my application or follow up. It's honestly unacceptable for a shelter that claims to want to help animals find homes. When I finally managed to speak to someone, the woman I talked to was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. Rather than offering any help or understanding, she made me feel like I was wasting her time. I mentioned that their website and google search clearly says they're open on Saturdays by appointment, and she flat-out told me that Saturdays are not an option -- with zero explanation and an attitude that was shockingly rude for someone representing an animal shelter. Their limited hours -- only a few hours Monday through Friday -- make it almost impossible for anyone with a job to adopt. Add the lack of communication, slow response time, and unprofessional behavior, and it's no wonder so many animals are still waiting for homes. It's heartbreaking, because the animals here deserve so much better than this kind of disorganization and attitude. If the staff can't manage basic courtesy or responsiveness, how are they supposed to help the animals in their care find loving families? I truly hope they take this feedback seriously and make real improvements, because right now, it feels like they're standing in the way of adoptions, not helping them happen.

every thing was great about this Kentucky Humane Society it's pets are healthy and very adorable…read moreand super adoptable

This place is great! Definitely 5 stars on cleanliness. I actually have never seen a shelter so…read moreclean. The people who work there are very professional as well. M Before looking at their pets you have to fill out a form. I appreciate this because it means that they care if the adoption parents are a good fit for the animal. Dog adoption parents have to provide that their landlord allows pets and has an adequate area for play outdoor. They are building a much larger facility as well and I am eagerly waiting to see what this place has in store. I know it will be run just as great as it is now. They also have some of the best prices I've seen and all their cats are spayed/neutered and most are vaccinated which is so important.

I adopted a kitten from here, hoping to give a young cat a healthy life. I didn't realize a short…read morenote was hidden in the paperwork: "FeLV+." No one explained to me what that meant; no one told me that my kitten had a serious, contagious illness that would affect him for the rest of his life. I am not a veterinarian. I am just someone who wants to love a cat. If someone had taken a moment to explain what "FeLV+" meant, to clarify that it was feline leukemia, that it could shorten his life, and that it could endanger my other cat, I would have been able to make a fully informed decision about how to protect him and my home. Instead, I found out what it meant only after falling in love with him. After I had already brought him home. After I watched him get sick, I was terrified, not knowing what was happening or how to help him at first. I don't regret adopting him -- not for a second. He is part of my family now, and he is deeply loved. However, the way his condition was communicated caused an enormous amount of unnecessary heartbreak and fear that could have been avoided with a simple, honest conversation. Please prioritize speaking clearly about health conditions like FeLV for the sake of future cats and adopters. A simple explanation could spare someone else from confusion, guilt, or loss and give cats like mine the extra protection and understanding they deserve from the start. This is the first review I've ever left, and I feel wrong going lower because Ducky is still alive, and my older cat is vaccinated. Ducky has a chance with me, and I'm grateful it's me who gets to love him. Pics: The darker cat is Ducky, before and after he was sick/hospitalized.
