My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! Iandamp;#39;m Ballard! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Prior to coming to Great Plains SPCA, I was living in a trailer with dozens of other dogs. I had virtually no interaction with humans, I had to scrounge for my meals, I didnandamp;#39;t know anything about the outside world and my only friends were dogs. Fast forward to today and Iandamp;#39;m living in a quiet foster home. Iandamp;#39;m working hard, being brave and making progress! Iandamp;#39;m grateful to be out of my old situation, but this new world is still pretty scary to me. Iandamp;#39;m looking for a patient family in a calm, quiet home that is willing to take the time I need to get comfortable. I also need to live with another dog to give me confidence. Does this sound like a good fit? I would love to be your dog.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Tail wags, andlt;br/andgt;Ballard

We are reserving Mondays and Tuesdays for appointments for members of the public who are immunocompromised or are still uncomfortable being in large crowds due to COVID-19.

If you have any questions about our adoptable pets, please call (913) 831-7722 or email adoptions@greatplainsspca.org. Our expert matchmakers look forward to finding you the perfect furry family member!

Adoption Requirements:
- Adopter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
