Our Programs
S'neuter Shoppe
The "S'neuter Shop" is our low-cost Spay/Neuter clinic.
We are proud to be able to offer low-cost spay/neuter services to our community twice each month, typically on a Thursday! It includes surgery, rabies vaccination and pain medication and vaccinations for your pet. (For cats, we will also provide ear mite medication if we discover mites during the procedure. There is a small additional cost if this is required.) Additionally, you can choose to have your pet vaccinated and/or micro-chipped during the procedure, which provides tremendous peace of mind if your pet is ever lost or stolen.
Space is limited, we are currently scheduling via a waiting list!
Please click the green button below, or call and leave a message at 606-451-2367. If you choose to leave a message, please include your name, phone number and whether you have a dog or cat, female or male, and age to be altered.
We will call you back with more information. We will only call once to schedule, and will leave ONE message. If you do not return the call within 24 hours, your name will be moved to the bottom of the list. Someone else will get your spot in the queue.
Proof of current rabies vaccine is required if you tell us that your animal(s) is/are current on their rabies vaccine.
Unfortunately, we no longer offers 'just shots' to our clients. All shots are available if your pet is being altered, but not just 'coming in' for shots. Check with local veterinarians about vaccinations. (Please scroll down to the "veterinarians" section after clicking this link.

TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release)
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), is the humane approach to addressing community cat populations. It works wonders, by saving cats’ lives and is effective. TNR improves the lives of cats, addresses community concerns, reduces complaints about cats, and stops the breeding cycle. TNR improves the co-existence between outdoor cats and humans in our shared environment. Scientific studies and communities with TNR programs are proof that TNR reduces and stabilizes populations of community cats.
Here in Somerset, KY we recognize that the number of feral cats in our community is huge! This is why the Pulaski County Humane Society has initiated our TNR program.
If you would like to be a positive force that benefits both the humans and the cats in our community, please click the green button below to become a volunteer! Be sure to tell us in "comments" that you'd like to be part of our TNR team!
Animal Rescue
The Somerset-Pulaski County Humane Society is all about saving animals from a life of abuse and neglect. That said, we do not and can not go around seizing animals or make visits regarding abused abandoned or neglected animals. Without permission from a home owner we can't enter private property. We receive many calls regarding abuse and neglect. Those calls are turned over to Pulaski County Animal Control and the police to handle.
If you see abuse, neglect, or abandonment call the Pulaski County Animal Shelter at 606-679-6432
and/or call 911 until someone responds.
Often, we can take in animals that have been abandoned, who's owners have unexpectedly died, animals that have been hit by cars, or desperately need veterinary care for any number of reasons. Our ability to do this is certainly not limited by our hearts, but by the availability of foster homes in which to place them and funds to care for them! Want to help? Click here to Donate Money, or here for other ways you can help, or here to apply to be a foster pet-parent or click here to adopt one of the amazing pets in our foster network!
Community Support
While it is not always something we can offer, we understand that sometimes bad things happen to good people. Sometimes these bad things include financial strife.
If you have run headlong into one of these situations, and need assistance with pet food or supplies, please contact us. We will do the best we can to help.
Soft Landings
Sometimes people are in very difficult situations. Sometimes people love their pets so much, that love keeps them from getting help for themselves. Sometimes, that means staying is a situation of domestic violence, because they can't go to a victim's shelter with their animals. Sometimes it means not seeking treatment for an illness because there is no one that could care for their pet(s) while they are away. Sometimes, a person might have lost their home, through no fault of their own, and in order to survive, they feel that they have to surrender their pet, but can't bear to lose their pet, too. That's where "Soft Landings" can step up to help.
Our Soft Landings program provides short-term foster care for the pets that might otherwise have to be surrendered, or might prevent the human from getting the help they need. We will provide food, veterinary care, and a loving home for the pet for a limited time, allowing the human to get back on their feet. Of course, this foster care is provided free of charge to the pet's owner. Once their lives have stabilized, the pet is returned and they can live happily ever after!
