The Kansas Humane Society is the primary source of humane education activity in our community. As a result of our new Education and Training Center, children will learn about the importance of respect and compassion toward other living things.

Children will also learn about the importance of spaying or neutering their pets, increasing the likelihood that they will grow up to be responsible pet owners.
-
Local school students will benefit from in-classroom presentations, such as Be Bite Free, where children learn how to stay safe around unfamiliar dogs.
-
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts can earn merit badges through our programs or work on volunteer projects to obtain community service hours.
-
At-risk youth will benefit from programs such as Teaching Love and Compassion (TLC), which will provide adolescents opportunities to train and work with shelter animals who need extra attention. This program provides lifetime lessons in love, compassion and responsibility.

The Kansas Humane Society often provides emergency pet boarding at no cost to individuals or families who are experiencing temporary homelessness or other life-altering events.
-
Veterinary students from universities as far away as Britain come to KHS for internships, where they obtain vital surgical skills.

The Kansas Humane Society is often the only resource available for people who must relinquish their pet because of job loss, military deployment or other major transitions.

Nursing home or retirement center residents benefit through Project Companionship, a program where volunteers take shelter animals to visit and interact with seniors.

Low-income families benefit from our Prevent another Litter program, where KHS provides spay/neuter surgery for pets whose owners are unable to obtain it elsewhere.
-
Families experiencing the loss of a beloved pet can memorialize their faithful companion through the Kansas Humane Society's private pet cremation program.
-
The Kansas Humane Society provides classes, workshops and seminars specifically designed to help families deal with problem pet behaviors, such as chewing, biting or other destructive behavior.

Ultimately, all residents in our community will benefit as we work together to build a community that exemplifies integrity and respect for all living things.
