“We are an open admission shelter—all animals are accepted regardless of history. Our mission is to accept all animals that come to us and give them another chance for a good home. Whether sick or well, friendly or aggressive, no animal is turned away. This means we receive over 13,000 animals coming in each year by citizens unable or unwilling to care for them. Of these, most are dogs and cats, though we do accept other small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and birds. We were established to serve all companion animals and, at the Kansas Humane Society, these animals find concerned and kind staff and volunteers who give each animal the best care possible. The reward of operating the shelter is the joy of uniting responsible owners with loving and grateful pets. The Society currently finds homes for 70% of the animals made available for adoption. Our staff and volunteers screen potential adopters, and match them with shelter animals. Other important services of the Kansas Humane Society include public education programs, pet visits to nursing homes, and lost and found pet tracking. These services are carried out by a small staff and about 250 active volunteers.”
A great place!!I was adopted from KHS in September I am proud to say!! They took such good care of me until I found my furever home!! Mom really like d how they took the time to spend with each animal to get to know their personality. When you go to adopt a dog they have signs up letting you know what kind of personality the dog has (i.e really playful, couch potato) Thats such a good idea so a family can adopt an animal that fits into their family! We would def recommended stopping by KHS!! Its worth the drive!! The Wichita Animal Shelter has some serious notes to take from KHS! Keep up the great work guys!!! |
I'm a shelter dog from a different shelter. My owner loves this shelter 'cause they treat animals and owners there with gentleness and respect. |
Purrrfect.I'm proud to say my owner got me from here. Taking care of animals is what they do, pay a visit sometime, maybe adopt a friend. |
