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.

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

This special section of the shelter has 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 for Pets page for more information and to download an order form.



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 for Pets page for more information.



Planned Giving/Estate Planning

A wonderful way to show your commitment to a better world for unwanted and forsaken pets even past your lifetime is to include The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City in your will and/or estate planning. Please always consult a legal professional when developing your estate plans to ensure that your wishes are properly carried out.

Charitable Remainder Trust
You can set up a trust which provides you with a regular monthly income. At your death, the assets in the trust provide much-needed help for the animals. You also receive a tax deduction at the time the trust is established.

Unrestricted Bequests
A bequest can be in the form of cash, real estate, a percentage of your estate, life insurance policies, IRAs and other retirement plans, annuities and securities. Always consult independent legal advice before finalizing any changes to your will.



Donated Goods and Services

The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City can use all kinds of goods and services, including office equipment, appliances, paper products and volunteer help. We've put together a wish list of items and services we'd appreciate receiving as donations.
