November Adoption Specials

Adopt A Shelter Dog Month Adoption Special

We Let the Dogs Out - Petpalooza Recap

September 12th was a day full of sunshine and mild temperatures-and FUN! It was time to celebrate everything dog and their humans. Many visitors, some from as far away as Wichita, came to Black Creek Park in Winfield to let their dogs play at the two temporary dog parks, participate in activities and contests, try their luck at the cake walk, bid on silent auction items, and check out the vendors. It was a success, with $1,500 being made for the shelter and 7 dogs finding homes at the adoption event at the park! Photos by Diana & Lane Russell and Kay Martinez of Matsufoto.

Members Wanted!

It's that time of year where we are starting our membership drive. How many reasons are there to become a member? Almost 3,000! That's how many animals come through our door every year. They all need help and we are here to give it to them. Our efforts cost money and over 70% of our funding comes from donations, sponsorships, memberships, fundraising and grants. A membership is $20 a year and makes a huge difference in the shelter animals' lives! Read more here: 

You see, we are not only here for the animals, but we also help out the community. We provide a safe place for unwanted animals, so they are not dumped in the country or roam the streets of our towns. We offer a solution for those people who are no longer able to care for their pets. We spay and neuter all adoptable animals, so that only altered pets are placed in the community, reducing the number of unwanted animals. 

If you would like to know where all of these animals come from, this will help you out:

As a small token of our gratitude and to help spread the word we will send you a membership magnet. Thank you for your support!
