Adopting a Pet from PCHS
We try not to make the process too complicated. Our goal is to match the right family with the right pet. That's why we encourage home visits and like to give people and pets plenty of time to get to know each other before finalizing adoptions. We want to make sure that when an animal goes to their forever home, that's exactly what it is.
We received the 2023 Kia Pet Adoption Grant from the Petfinder Foundation. The money is for reducing or eliminating adoption fees for animals who've been here over six months, as well as black cats and dogs (who have lower adoption rates), special needs and senior animals. You'll find the reduced adoption fee on the description page of any eligible animals.

Adoption Requirements
Kansas Adoption Laws state law requires that all animals adopted from shelters, rescues and pounds be spayed or neutered. Most of the time the animal you choose will already have this procedure done. If not (usually if they are too young when adopted) you'll be required to sign a Certificate of Sterilization. |
We allow for a reasonable period of time once the animal reaches the age at which they can be sterilized for the procedure to be performed. Failure to do so will result in PCHS reclaiming the animal (s) and possible criminal charges, fines, fees and court costs.
