YES! We are recognized as a No Kill Animal Shelter and we proudly display our plaque.
We are a private, non-profit organization, which serves southwest Nebraska and parts of Northwest Kansas.
We will euthanize when an animal requires medical treatment that goes beyond our ability to humanely provide care or has a condition that puts other shelter animals or workers at risk. We will also choose euthanasia when an animal has negative behaviors, such as unmanageable aggression towards other dogs, or aggression towards people that goes beyond our ability to correct, especially if that behavior presents a safety concern to a potential adopter or to the community.
We do not feel it is responsible to place a potentially dangerous or vicious animal in the community. We also do not feel it is responsible to imply that we would. There are few organizations with the money and facilities to keep an animal that is ill or unsafe around people. In fact, keeping such animals while thousands of healthy, adoptable animals are euthanized because there is no place to keep them could be considered an irresponsible decision.
There are times when we reach a capacity within the shelter that cannot take in another animal. We would appreciate it if you could make an appointment and bring the pet in once we have available space.
Unfortunately, not all animals that come to us are suitable to be placed in new homes. We make every effort possible to place each animal, whether through our adoption program or rescue groups.
