Heart of Jackson Humane Society

A group of locals in Jefferson County, Kansas, who were concerned about stray and abandoned animals founded the Jefferson County Humane Society in 1998. JCHS established a no-kill shelter in Valley Falls on January 2, 2006.

We have built a place where cat lovers can congregate. We hope that we have been successful in creating a happy, welcoming environment where members of the public, volunteers, and C.A.T. supporters want to visit and feel welcomed.

In Topeka and Shawnee County, "We're the place for you to reclaim lost pets, adopt a new pet, bring in stray animals/pets you can no longer care for, shop for pet supplies, attend dog training classes, and more!"

Our goal is to prevent animal neglect, abuse, and exploitation while also finding them loving homes for adoption and reducing pet overpopulation through public awareness campaigns and a robust spay/neuter program.

Spay/neuter, adoption, education, shelter, and community engagement are all ways that DCPR assists animals in need.
