Healthcare, daily care and feeding, community outreach and education, training, a safe and clean facility, and even the kennel-side treats are all thanks to you.
We have the best shelter support in the area thanks to the best volunteers around. There's always a way to make a difference for our shelter pets and the people who love them.
Great Plains SPCA provides lifesaving services for approximately 6,800 animals annually in the greater Kansas City area. Great Plains SPCA exists because of our caring Kansas City community and generous donors. We offer a lifelong, full-circle approach for pets and their human companions with our three-pronged approach: prevention, adoption, retention.
Our commitment remains to the cities and residents we support.
