LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington Humane Society, along with BISSELL Pet Foundation, is hosting Empty the Shelters, a national adoption event, through December 11 at 4:30 p.m.
The event means there is reduced adoption fees on select animals at the LHS Main Adoption Center on Old Frankfort Pike and the Everyday Adoption Center, located inside PetSmart in Hamburg.
The Small Print:

- No holds can be placed on animals during this event.
- Mandatory $8 Fayette County city license fee not included (if applicable).
- The adoption process must start two hours before closing and MUST be completed on the same day in order to qualify for the $25 fee.
Know before you go:
- Visitors will be limited to adopters only and not recreational visits.
- Have children? No problem. For your safety and the safety of the animals, LHS may ask to meet with adoptable animals in smaller groups before meeting as a full family. If you have more than 1 child, plan to bring 2 adults.
- All potential adopters must fill out adoption surveys and while LHS reviews them, you may view the adoptable animals. You must be approved for adoption before meeting the animals at the Everyday Adoption Center. At this time, LHS is not able to approve adopters via email or social media.
- Only 4 customers at a time will be allowed in the kennel area at the Everyday Adoption Center located inside PetSmart in Hamburg. A limited number of customers will be allotted inside Main Adoption Center at a time.
