We are open from noon to 7 p.m. today through Friday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at both locations, Merriam and Independence. On Sunday, only our Merriam campus is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Since we started the Clear The Shelter adoptions special on May 22^nd, Great Plains has adopted out 578 animals. In that same period, we have taken in 728 lost and homeless pets.

We currently still have 327 dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals in our care who need loving furever homes. Come find your new furmily member today!

Please know that while Great Plains SPCA’s last day of public adoptions at the Independence Campus will be Saturday, July 13^th, the shelter itself is not closing. The City of Independence will take over managing the building and animals in the community as a no-kill animal shelter.

To help facilitate the transition of management, Great Plains’ Independence campus will be closed to the public on Sunday July 14th.

Thank you to everyone in the community for your caring, support and love for the animals for our six years in Independence. We appreciate all the outpouring of support we’ve received and we hope you are able to stop by and see us this week.
