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).

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.
