Every year at the Humane
Society of Greater Kansas City, we touch the lives of thousands of animals
through our proactive programs. We're able to do this because of people
like you-- people who believe in the value of an animal's life
and well-being.
We are supported entirely through private
donations and therefore rely heavily on the generosity of individuals
and families within our community. We hope that you decide to become
one of these individuals through your support!
The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City is a not-for-profit
501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All contributions are tax-deductible
as provided by law. The Humane Society does not sell or trade your name
with other organizations.

Loyal Friends:
Monthly Donation Campaign
Loyal Friends is a membership program that provides
a painless way to offer significant support to animals all year
long. Many people would have difficulty giving a large donation
all at once. But divide that donation up across twelve months and
a significant supportive role will be accomplished. Our goal is
to achieve 1000 members who will dedicate themselves to this monthly
support.
You can become a Loyal Friends member today by
signing up online. Choose your contribution level for monthly automatic
deductions from your credit card. A receipt will be sent to you
electronically for each monthly contribution.

Sponsor-A-Pet Program
As you know, our animals stay with us until they
are adopted. This means that sometimes our friends are with us
for quite awhile. You can become a friend to these pets through
your sponsorship of them. You'll receive a photo and information
about the pet you've chosen and we'll make a special card for your
pet's cage so that everyone knows that YOU care! Visit our Sponsor-A-Pet
Page for more information and become a sponsor today!
Gabriel's Fund: Helping sick and injured homeless pets
Here at the Humane Society we believe that
every pet's life has value.
When we first met Gabriel, he was a tiny puppy
who'd been hit by a car and left to fend for himself with three
broken legs. He couldn't even stand up but his little tail wouldn't
stop wagging. We took him to a veterinary clinic and Humane Society
staff and volunteers quickly chipped in to cover the cost of x-rays
and surgery. In his honor, we established Gabriel's Fund to help
other homeless pets who come to us needing extra care.
Gabriel made a complete recovery and has been
adopted into a loving home. By making a donation today you can
help save the life of another deserving animal. Visit the Gabriel's
Fund page for more information and to make an online donation!
Bricks for Pets
Purchase an engraved,
personalized brick to be placed in our memorial pathway outside

been reserved for personalized memorial and honorarium bricks for
those who wish to pay tribute to their pets, family members, or
other loved ones. Visit our Bricks

Trees for Pets
Trees for Pets allows individuals to donate a
tree with a $100 gift as a personalized memorial to their pets,
family members or loved ones and have it planted on the Humane
Society's grounds. Visit our Trees
