Since 1998, the Jefferson County Humane Society has been dedicated to providing loving, exceptional care for cats and dogs of all ages and needs. We believe every animal deserves a chance at a happy life, and we are here to be their hero.
Founded by a group of concerned citizens in Jefferson County, Kansas, our organization was created to address the vital needs of abandoned, surrendered, and stray animals. Over the years, we have grown into a dedicated team working to create a more humane community for all companion animals.
We operate as a proud No-Kill shelter, striving to provide a safe and healthy environment for every animal in our care. Our approach includes a robust network of volunteers and foster parents who open their hearts and homes to help our animals thrive while they wait for their forever families. We are deeply committed to maintaining a high live-release rate and ensuring each animal receives the medical and emotional support they require.
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and every animal has a unique story waiting to be written with a new family. By taking the time to share information about your home and lifestyle, you help our team make the perfect match for you and your future companion. Whether you are looking for a playful kitten, a loyal adult dog, or a sweet senior friend, we are here to help you find your new best friend.
We warmly invite you to visit our shelter in Valley Falls to meet our current residents in person. You can also stay connected with us by following our latest updates on Facebook or subscribing to our newsletter to learn about upcoming events and featured animals. We look forward to welcoming you into our community!
