About
Our Vision
A lifelong, caring home for every pet
Mission
To provide a higher quality of life for homeless pets through adoption, education and collaboration with our animal welfare community.
Our Philosophy
Established in 1966, Animal Haven is now greater Kansas City’s largest no-kill animal shelter. Animal Haven is a non-profit organization operating with a progressive no-kill philosophy. For over 40 years, Animal Haven has served our community as both an adoption center and as an organization that manages stray animals for up to twelve local municipalities. Animal Haven is the only non-profit animal shelter in Johnson County, Kansas that manages stray animals. Animal Haven serves as a home between homes for as long as the animal needs it and never euthanizes for space. Animal haven also works full time to reunite pets with their owners.
In 2008, 3,695 pets came through Animal Haven’s doors. Of those, 1074 have been reclaimed and 2117 have been adopted. In 2008 we had a euthanasia rate of only 8%.
