We transferred Turner to our shelter from the KCK Animal Control shelter as part of our Ray of Hope program*. He's been with us for a very long time and we'd love to find him a good home.

*Ray of Hope is a partnership between the Humane Society of Greater KC and the Kansas City Kansas Animal Control that has had amazing results: We've reduced KCK Animal Control's euthanasia from 70% in 2007 to under 3% in 2009. We utilize a network of rescue groups, other no kill shelters and adoption events. Our clinic provides the spay/neutering and other veterinary care. We need help to cover the costs associated with this life-saving program. If you can help us by donating to Ray of Hope, or by volunteering, please visit our web site at hsgkc.org.

MORE ON ADOPTING OUR DOGS...

> Our goal is to send you home with a healthy pet and any information and support you may need to help your new pet adjust to his or her new home. All of our dogs & puppies have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas & ticks, tested for heartworms (6 mo. and over), and are on monthly heartworm preventative. Puppies who are too young to receive all the necessary puppy boosters and/or first rabies shot may be brought back to us for those vaccines at no extra charge. You will also receive a leash, collar, 5 lbs of Science Diet, toys, and educational materials including an excellent dog training DVD. And we'll give your dog a bath before he or she goes home!

> Please visit the Pet Adoptions page of our web site for more information about our adoption process. An application is required to adopt a pet and applicants must meet our adoption requirements. You can download a pet adoption application from our web site and then fax or email it back to us.

> Please note that most of our dogs do require a fenced yard, although there may be some who are appropriate for apartment living or circumstances where a fence may not be required.

Thank you for searching for a shelter pet!
