The Wellington Humane Society Serving Sumner County, KS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and adopting out homeless dogs and cats into loving, responsible forever homes. We operate solely on donations and rely on many volunteer staff to serve the needs of homeless animals in our community.

We are a no-kill animal shelter. That means that we work diligently to treat, heal, and work with animals to be able to find safe and quality homes in our community. We educate and offer programs to reduce the animal population in our community such as the low-cost spay/neuter program. To be a no-kill shelter, we maintain a 90% save rate. That means euthanasia is only used as a last resort when an animal is suffering from terminal medical or behavioral conditions. At a no-kill shelter, an end-of-life decision for a pet is an act of mercy rather than one for convenience or lack of space. We have a commitment to lifesaving practices and treating each animal with respect.

We provide services to our community such as Public Spay/Neuter, Trap Neuter Release program, Food Pantry, Vaccination and Microchip Clinics, Dog Boarding, Dog Baths and Nail Trims, Volunteer Opportunities, and so much more. These Services not only help pets in the community but also raises money to keep our door open to serve the homeless pets.

When you donate on Giving Tuesday, you are helping animals in need like Sushi, who was dumped with his siblings. When these sweet pups were initially brought into the shelter, they tested positive for parvo and required treatment and quarantined from the other shelter animals so as not to spread this deadly virus. We are happy to report that Sushi and his siblings are doing better and restrictions and treatments have been stopped.

Your donations have also helped dogs such as Maggie, an adorable senior pug, who came in with a tumor hanging outside her body. She needed emergency surgery to remove the tumor in order to have a better quality of life. The tumor was sent out for testing and results show that it was benign! Without donations, we wouldn't have been able to provide Maggie with the medical care she so desperately needed.

Let's not forget about our feline friends as well! This summer, some of our cat population came down with Ringworm. Cats had to be quarantined and only select staff members could care for them as to not expose everyone else. While not life-threatening, Ringworm can quickly spread and takes at least 21 days to clear up. The cost of oral medicine for 30+ cats adds up quickly. Donations help offset the rising cost of medical supplies that are required to treat the animals in our care. All cats have been cleared and many have already found homes!

All money raised through fundraisers, general donations, and memberships stays within the organization to provide excellent quality care to homeless animals while they await their new homes. We appreciate any and all monetary donations and are thankful to our amazing community for their support. Together we can save more lives in our community.
