About Adoption
Great Plains SPCA Pet Adoption Center in Merriam, KS has expert Matchmakers ready to find you the perfect furry family member! Let us help you grow your family!
Before The Shelter
We recommend researching any specific breeds that might interest you and suit your family.
Appointments are not needed to visit our shelters. Stop by anytime during normal Pet Adoption Center hours. We recommend, allowing up to two hours (sometimes more) for the entire adoption process.
Please note: You are welcome to view our adoptable animals during our normal business hours. Our average wait times vary from 10 minutes to 3 hours on busy days. Saturday is our busiest day of the week. Due to the time commitment, we cannot guarantee your meet and greet/dog-to-dog/adoption, if you arrive ninety minutes prior to close. You may be asked to bring all members of the household, including dogs, to meet prior to adoption. The last adoptions start 30 minutes prior to close.
If you are interested in learning more about a specific pet, please email adoptions@greatplainsspca.org.
Our goal is to ensure that every pet goes home healthy and happy. That means nourishing every pet that arrives at your shelter with quality nutrition. We are proud partners with Hill’s Food, Shelter, Love program which provides training, shelter visuals and Hill’s® brand pet food for our shelter pets. For pet owners, we offer useful adopter bags with coupons, as well as training and pet parent tips at Hill’s New Pet Parent website.
We believe that making premium nutrition accessible to every shelter — and every pet — helps send them home faster.
