This past year, the Lexington Humane Society adopted over 4,000 animals into loving homes; provided 3,500 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries through our Spay’sTheWay program; educated over 2,000 individuals through our camps, tours and school outreach programs; provided 700 animals lifesaving, in-home care through our foster program; and adopted 100 dogs through our Canine Companions training program. Our mission, simply stated, is to Give Love, Teach Love and Adopt Love! We are a 501(c)3 organization solely dependent on private donations and community support. Benefit Insurance Marketing has been a long-term supporter of the animals through sponsorships at various events throughout the year – thank you!
It is estimated that less than 30% of owned pets are adopted from animal shelters. This number is astonishingly low. We work hard every day to improve this statistic in our community, but we need YOUR help! Nationally, it’s estimated that 7.3 million dog and cats enter shelters every year and 2.6 million of them are euthanized due to overpopulation, health, and temperament issues. To end pet overpopulation and preventable euthanasia, we work especially hard to educate the public on the importance of spay/neuter and adoption. Knowledge is power, and we are on a mission to educate the public on lifelong, responsible pet ownership and the importance of making the choice to Opt to Adopt!
