Here at the Humane Society we believe that every pet’s life has value. Whether they come to us young or old, friendly or shy, healthy or sick-- they all deserve a good home.

But what happens to a homeless pet when they’ve been hit by a car and need immediate medical attention? Or what happens to the litter of puppies who are sick with parvo virus and will die without hospitalization?

In 2009, we saved 205 homeless pets thanks to your donations to Gabriel's Fund. The average cost per pet was $189. Most of these sick and injured pets were at the KCK Animal Control shelter and would have been euthanized if not for our Ray of Hope program to transfer them out and Gabriel's Fund to pay for their medical bills. Please make a donation today to help us save more pets in 2010.

The Humane Society feels that these pets deserve the same attention and care that any loved pet would receive-- appropriate medical care and loving attention while they recover.

Though we do have full-time veterinarians on staff at the Humane Society, we do not have the necessary equipment needed to treat these more serious conditions and situations. Most of the animals that come to our facility and need special medical care are taken to a full service veterinary clinic that offers us a generous discount on services. Others, such as dogs who test positive for heartworms, are able to be treated by our vets but it is very costly. Gabriel's Fund, established in 2004, was created to help these homeless pets receive the same care and attention that you would give to your own pet.

By donating to Gabriel’s Fund, you’re helping to provide veterinary care to a wonderful animal that is looking for a chance not only to survive but to eventually heal and be given the chance to start a new, healthy life with an adopted family.

Help give them a second chance and show them that even though they don’t currently have a home to go to, there are those of us who love them and feel their life has value.

Make your donation today and know that you have helped save the life of a deserving animal.
