Great Plains SPCA provides lifesaving services for approximately 7,000 animals and 500,000 residents 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.
