Animal Care Society (ACS) was established in 1984 by nine founding members whose passion to help animals in need was something to be admired. As membership grew and funds permitted, they built Kentucky’s first No-Kill shelter on Westport Road in 1988.
Animal Care Society continues to be a leader in animal welfare in the Louisville community. ACS has placed well over 17,000 animals into loving homes. For a better part of 30+ years, ACS has been a safe haven for Louisville animals in need of a second chance. ACS is not only the place to adopt a fur-ever friend, but is also host to many community activities including Eagle Scout projects, Youth Education programs, and animal welfare education programs. We are also a premier volunteer service stop for families, students and individuals. Our compassionate staff works closely with other businesses, groups, and organizations in our community to fulfil our mission.
