Frances Halbrook Hensley Animal Shelter

I contacted this shelter for someone needing to surrender a cat as she is not able to care for it thinking it would be rehomed to a loving family. The cat is perfectly healthy and under a year old. I was told they would take her in as long as she tested negative for feline leukemia ( test was negative). They took the cat in and this morning the owner got a call from the assistant director saying the cat was too hard for them to deal with so if she didn’t pick it up they would have to put it down. I was told by the assistant director that they were a no kill shelter but obviously that is just not true. If you are looking for somewhere to surrender an animal under good faith I would look elsewhere as they falsely advertise as a no kill shelter.

We've now had our rescue dog BoBo for 6 years and we still love every day with him. This is the best place to get your dog. Get a rescue. Get one a few years old. So much easier than a puppy. Fantastic place to get a pet. They are the best. Please look here first for your next pet. I love this place. What a hidden treasure in Lexington.

Our family adopted our Lily here some months ago. She has been a sweet and funny addition to our family. We had a wonderful experience with everyone here and would recommend this shelter to anyone wanting to adopt a new family friend.

We adopted Luna from here. The folks are very caring and loving toward the animals. They were spot on about Luna's personality!

Giving 2 stars, because my review is more of a question. I have heard good things about this shelter, and was wondering… When can i bring in two lab dogs? 1 is female, and 1 male that are siblings, they came to my house hungry with no collars on, and unfortunately i can not keep them. They look about a year old. Needing to get them gone by this week if possible. We just want them to have a good home where they can play with each other, and other dogs. Also, does it cost to bring dogs to the shelter?
