As all other Jefferson County animal shelters, KHS is mandated by law to hold all stray cats and dogs for 5 days. After that timeframe, our trained staff perform health and behavior evaluations to determine if the stray pet can be placed up for adoption. At KHS, approximately 98% of strays are placed for adoption at one of our eight adoption sites. KHS does offer a “Lost & Found” service to help reunite pets with their families.
