Our goal is to place our animals in the best hands, making sure they have a forever home! We are helped by Friends of Animals, Inc.

If you have found an animal, please call the JCPD (785-762-5912). We are only a housing facility and we can not pick any animals.

When adopting a dog, we have everyone go through an adoption application. Here are the steps:
1. Visit the shelter and see what dog perks your interest.
2. Have part of the shelter staff take dog out of cage (if not on stray hold) for you to associate with.
3. If still interested, fill out an adoption application.
4. Give the shelter a few days to review all the applications on said dog.
