Since 1963, the Kankakee County Humane Society has served the community as the area?s only No-Kill animal shelter. KCHS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, does not receive any tax money, and is entirely dependent upon memberships and donations.
From the Society?s inception in 1963 and until 1976, there was not a central location to house the unwanted or abused animals. These animals were boarded at local veterinarians. In 1976, the Society opened its current facility, which was once a former fruit stand!
The KCHS purchased the building in 1983 and has been slowly remodeling and expanding as contributions allow. The shelter is staffed daily to maintain appropriate service levels for the animals and those wishing to adopt them.
The accommodations for the animals waiting to find their forever home have undergone many changes over the years. Where there was once room for only twelve animals, there are now accommodations for 24 cats and 24 dogs, which includes an addition that houses ten large dogs with corresponding 12? outdoor exercise runs, and a fenced in one acre exercise area.
Thank you for helping us care for the animals of this community for 43 years! We could not do it without you! Thank you for your continued generosity & willingness to help!
Unaltered animals require a $50 deposit for spay/neuter which will be refunded when vet verification is presented to shelter staff. All animals are current on their vaccinations, wormed if needed, and are microchipped.
When you adopt an animal from the KCHS, you will receive an adoption kit filled with a Training DVD (dogs and cats), goodies & information (samples of dogfood and/or treats) and free I.D. tags and Lifetime Membership in the KCHS Lost & Found program!
