About this organization
Mission
This mission of the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City is to save and improve the lives of dogs and cats throughout the greater Kansas City community by providing education, adoptions, low cost veterinary care and spay/neuter services.
About
To promote the education of the public on health, treatment, care and protection of animals. Each year the organization spays or neuters over 5,000 pets. The goal of the service is to reduce the number of unwanted pets in the metro area. Many animals find a home either through direct adoption or via transfer to other non-kill programs. Approximately 20,000 clients (low-income pet owners) are served each year; a total of over 20,000 animals are seen in the preventive care clinic annually. In January 2009, the organization began a partnership - called the Ray of Hope - with the KCK animal control to reduce euthanasia in the city shelter. The results have been amazing: 2,400 pets were saved in the first year and the KCK animal control euthanasia rate decreased from 80% in 2008 to less than 5% by 2016.
