We are the only full service shelter in the state of Kansas. We accept any animal for any reason and euthanize for temperament and severe injury and illness only.

We investigate all cruelty and neglect cases in our county and offer 24 hour emergency services for un-owned injured pets.





We work to change laws locally, state-wide and across the nation to benefit animals.
