About Our Shelter

Who We Are

Any monetary donations will be accepted and used to help ensure the comfort and well-being of our animals.

Our Adoption Process

Adopting a friend
Dog adoption is $80.00, with a refund of $60.00 after completion of MANDATORY spay/neuter and rabies immunization. Cat adoption is $65.00, with a refund of $45.00 after completion of MANDATORY spay/neuter and rabies immunization.

Interested in Adoption?
Before an animal may be adopted an adoption application must be filled out 24-48 hours in advance, and the applicant must sign a written statement agreeing to have the animal surgically spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian within the time period stated on the Adoption Agreement Form as required by K.S.A. 47-1731.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
