FREE Dogs & Cats 5yrs & Up – Saturday, May 12 from 11-6:30

Saturday, May 12th 2012 all pets 5 years & older are FREE at Kansas Humane Society! We have over 20 wonderful dogs and cats ages 5 years and older looking for new homes. One of the reasons the fee is waived is that some of these pets will need owners that are willing and financially able to provide the dental care they so desperately need.

Be sure to check out their Meet Your Match personality types too. If you’re a runner look for a Go Getter or Busy Bee; if you’d rather relax check out a Couch Potato. Need help reading the paper or working on the computer? Then you need a Personal Assistant! Do you love attention? A Constant Companion or Love Bug would adore you!

Adoption Success – Meiko

Meiko, adopted July 2009 Some animals like Meiko are that perfect fit for a family, and their current pet.

A lucky family looking to add a new member and a companion for their Blue Heeler, Max, found that perfect fit with him in July of 2009. He’s playful, energetic, and a great joy to the family.

“He is a bundle of energy and has found a forever friend in our heeler mix, Max. He loves playing ball, frolicking in the snow and laying on his bed to enjoy a rawhide. He has made our family whole and we are so lucky to have found him. Thank you KHS!”

Adoption Success – Jake

Jake, adopted 7/22/11

Animals form bonds not only with their owners, but with other animals. Sometimes it can be hard to fill a gap left behind from a lost companion. When Jake was adopted in July of 2011, he not only made a new friend, but he also picked up a few tricks on the way.

“We had lost two dogs the previous year to old age and our 5 year-old white German Shepherd, Sammi, needed a new pal. Jake has been the perfect addition. They get along wonderfully and she has helped teach him to swim and play frisbee. His enthusiasm and zest for life are off-the-charts, and we absolutely love having him. Thank you”
