Heart of America Humane Society

Overland Park, Kansas

Our goal is to save and improve the lives of Kansas City's homeless companion animals by promoting responsible pet ownership. The Heart of America Humane Society (HAHS) partners with two local animal shelters, the Lee's Summit Animal Shelter (Lee's Summit, MO) and the B. Martin-Peck Animal Shelter (Ottawa, KS), to manage a spay/neuter program and to increase pet adoptions into responsible, permanent homes.

Background
Our organization does not have a permanent facility or paid staff, so nearly all of our adoptions or other community involvement takes place on-site at pet stores and through other event venues. Some events raise awareness and bring in donations for our animal support efforts, while others help acknowledge and show appreciation for our own volunteers (who perform all duties outside of their regular jobs). HAHS maintains a News and Events Web page to highlight these efforts.

Dog and cat adoptions at PETsMART at 115th and Metcalf in Overland Park, KS every Saturday from 12 to 3pm. Cat adoptions are also held on Sundays from 1 to 3pm in addition to being available for adoption every day at PETsMART's in-store cage area.

Dog and cat adoptions are held at the PETsMART at Ward Parkway Shopping Center every Saturday from noon to 3pm as well as the Petco in Olathe at 13620 S Blackbob Rd also every Saturday from noon to 3pm.

The cost of adoptions of puppies 5 months and younger is $140. While some of the adult dogs coming into our program are already spayed/neutered, all of the puppies require this expense from HAHS. The cost of dogs over the age of 6 months is $120. The cost of one kitten under the age of 5 months is $85 and for 2 kittens it is $130. The cost of one cat over the age of 6 months is $65 and for two cats it is $100.
