One of the best changes with the Murfin Animal Care Campus will be in how animals are first admitted to the Kansas Humane Society and Wichita Animal Services. All pets being relinquished by their owners will go directly to the KHS Admissions Department where they will receive a thorough evaluation and necessary vaccinations.
All lost or stray animals will be admitted to Wichita Animal Services, where they will stay for three days to give their owners time to find them. At the end of those three days, all animals that are adoptable or potentially adoptable will be transferred to the Kansas Humane Society.
Unfortunately during our busy summer season, when we admit nearly 2,000 pets a month, we are unable to guarantee that all adoptable animals will be transferred. We are working diligently to continue to save as many animal lives as possible, leading us to our ultimate goal of ending the unnecessary euthanasia of adoptable pets within five years.
Prior to adoption, all dogs and cats will be spayed or neutered,microchipped and vaccinated in our medical clinic. This transfer system allows each organization to focus on their strengths, increases the chance that lost pets will be reunited with their owners, and ensures that every animal adopted from the Murfin Animal Care Campus is spayed or neutered, ultimately decreasing the number of homeless pets in our community.
