Friends of the Animal Shelter of St Joseph

The goal of our organization is to assist the St. Joseph Animal Control and Rescue employees in all facets of their work. This include working to raise adoption and redemption rates for animals while lowering the number of animals put to death, educating our community about concerns relating to animal welfare, and providing for the medical requirements of all ill and injured animals who enter the Animal Shelter. Our goal is to one day be able to SAVE EVERY ANIMAL THAT CAN BE SAVED!

We provide training to help pets behave better in the house. We believe that the greatest method to prevent animals from being abandoned is to assist humans in coexisting peacefully with their animal companions.

We are committed to finding homes for displaced pets, including dogs and cats, that are loving, caring, and secure.

Public safety is the top priority for animal control. This is accomplished by corralling stray animals in the City.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization called KC Pet Project manages the animal shelter at Kansas City, Missouri's KC Campus for Animal Care. We currently operate 14 pet adoption locations in Missouri and Kansas and care for more than 15,000 animals annually. Through our Keep 'Em Together, KC program, Lost and Found services, and pet safety efforts like microchipping, pet identification, and more, we concentrate on proactive programs to assist people keep their dogs.
