The Jefferson County Humane Society was formed in 1998 by a group of citizens concerned about abandoned and stray animals in Jefferson County, KS. On January 2, 2006, JCHS opened a shelter in Valley Falls. The building was a former veterinary clinic and we keep it licensed as a shelter and a veterinary clinic.








Picture

We are a low-kill shelter. We only euthanize an animal if it is medically necessary or aggressive and we are not able to make the animal adoptable. We have had a consistent positive outcome (adoptions and return to owners) of 90% or more.

In the past few years, we have added cat rooms and puppy rooms. In December, 2010 we bought the facility with six acres. We are currently building large play yards to allow our dogs to be outside as much as possible with each other. We also have five kennels at the Petsmart in Topeka for cats. We have great response from these kennels and keep cats and kittens moving into new homes.
