McCracken County Humane Society
The Best Things in Life Are Rescued
The McCracken County Humane Society accepts owner surrenders of healthy and adoptable animals within McCracken County. We also house animals brought to us by Animal Control and hold them as efforts are made to reunite them with their owners. If not claimed, these animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated and made available for adoption. We have been in operation for over 60 years as a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. We gladly accept monetary donations and new or gently used pet items as well as linens such as towels, sheets, blankets, etc.
All donations made to MCHS are tax deductible

Donations & Volunteer
Our primary goal as a humane society is to find lifelong homes for all of our animals.
Upon intake of all animals, a health record is started and they are assessed, weighed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. All dogs and cats get rabies vaccinations and are spayed/neutered when age appropriate.
Our staff coordinates with our volunteers to teach essential training techniques. Combined with volunteers, we train our animals by using positive reinforcement methods. When trained, shelter dogs become better behaved, less stressed animals in the shelter environment; thus making them more desirable to potential adopters.
Pet of the Month
My name is APHRODITE!
- Breed: Lab Mix
- Gender: Female
- Age: 2 years
- Size: Large (about 72#)
History:
I came to the shelter in April of 2026 but have been with Animal Control since February. I was brought in by Animal Control due to poor conditions with my puppies, who have since been adopted.
Personality:
I love to run around and play outside, but I also enjoy relaxing with my humans at the McCracken County Humane Society. I am looking for a cuddle buddy who’s couch I can share, but a comfy dog bed will work just as good. As long as my forever person loves me, I am happy.
Medical:
I am spayed, current on all vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped and have been given monthly flea and tick preventative. I am heartworm negative and have been on monthly preventative.
