KCKAS is part of a Kansas City Metro-wide campaign sponsored by the Spay/Neuter Collaborative of Kansas City (SNCKC) as part of a collaborative effort to tackle the crisis of pet overpopulation in Kansas City by alleviating the stress that can come with spay and neuter surgery costs. Heartworm preventatives and discounted rabies vaccines were also available at the event.

Animal Services is a no-kill shelter serving the community of Kansas City, Kansas. Each year, Animal Services responds to approximately 5,000 calls for service in Wyandotte County with an intake of 2,000 animals.

 

In addition to dealing with domestic animals, Animal Services officers are also called upon to round up stray horses, herd goats, evaluate injured wildlife, and any number of other calls dealing with the multitude of animals found in our community. In order to more effectively manage high intake numbers, Animal Services has developed strong working relationships with a number of established pet fosters, trappers, rescues and adoption programs in the region.
