More About Us

The Humane Society of Oldham County is a non-profit organization serving the Oldham County, KY area. We are not affiliated with any other National, State or Local Humane Society.

How we got started...

Started in 1986, The Humane Society of Oldham County is a stand alone no-kill animal rescue helping animals and our community in Oldham and surrounding counties. It was created to help our county run an animal shelter, build a facility, and once completed turned it's attention to reducing the number of unwanted pets in our area by offering a low cost spay/neuter clinics to the public and other animal rescues, including Oldham County Animal Control. We then began our other programs focused on finding homes for the countless homeless pets in our area, such as KSR Camp K9. Please "Services" for a list of all the wonderful programs offered. We have a large volunteer base that allows us to keep administrative cost very low making every dollar donated count.
