We would like to give Amy at Puppy Junction a huge shout out! Recently we have gotten in a couple of dogs who were in dire need of some attention. Amy was able to get these cuties in right away to get them all cleaned up and looking fantastic! Amy, we truly appreciate your support.

All of the pets and staff here at KAAS want to extend a great big THANK YOU to you and all of your staff!

UPDATE: We found Mr. Ballman the best Fospice home! Thank you so much for sharing and sending in your applications! He will live out the rest of his days being showered with SO much love!

We are searching for a fospice home for our beloved Mr. Ballman. When Mr. Ballman came to KAAS he was in very rough shape. We were able to get this old man cleaned up and healthy, so now it is time to find him a home to live out the rest of his days. If you have already filled out a foster application and are interested in fospicing Mr. Ballman, please give us a call at 308.237.7387 or message our page. If you haven't filled out a foster application, you can fill out an application with the link below!

If you have any questions about what fospicing entails, please give us a call or message us!

This is the harsh reality we live in. These two sweet girls were brought in on Friday October 18th by their owner to be surrendered. We told them we were unable to take them due to having no open kennels and gave them a list of resources to use to find them a new home. Unfortunately, 3 hours later they were dumped outside of town. When we say we are unable to take in surrenders, it is not because we don't want to help people or their animals, it is because we have NO space. This is a problem we face every. single. day. This is why we NEED adopters and fosters. We have so many animals that have continuously been let down by people. We currently have a surrender list of over 200 dogs that we have been unable to take, because of situations just like this one. If you are unable to keep your pet, please do the right thing by either finding them a new home or waiting until we have available space to take them, as this is a responsibility you take on when becoming a pet parent. If you have been thinking about adopting a shelter pet, please stop into KAAS or your local animal shelter!

Too Cute Tuesday! Meet Cheyenne!

Hello there, my name is Cheyenne! I am a pretty girl with a lot of love to give. I am very friendly and love to play, but I also have a very loving side as well. While I do loving playing, I prefer cuddling up on the couch or in bed with you, beware though, I’m a bed hog! I am very smart and curious, and I will make a great companion. If you’re interested in me, please stop into KAAS! I can't wait to meet you!

10/21/2024

Tomorrow, Tuesday October 22nd, is the last day to take advantage of our $100 off of all dog adoption fees!

It is just another "Meow-nic" Monday! This "Meow-nic" Monday features adoptable Feta, Gouda, and Brie!

If you are interested in Feta, Gouda, or Brie, please stop into KAAS to meet them!

WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!

We have exhausted all of the ways to find these loving pups homes. While their journey to their forever home is taking quite a long time, that doesn't mean that strays stop coming in. We are searching for foster homes for a couple of our long-term residents. We have continuously brought up the issue of us being full and unfortunately that is still very true. We have had to utilize our garage as a new room to hold stray animals, which most, unfortunately don't get reclaimed by their owners. We need the help of our animal lovers and community. If you are interested in fostering Bella, Kimber, or Dave you can fill out our application below or you can stop in any time during our open hours!

10/19/2024

EDIT** We had some technical difficulties, so we will be honoring this until Tuesday, October 22nd!
THIS WEEKEND ONLY we are doing $100 off of all dog adoption fees! Our adoption floor is FULL of adorable, sweet pups who are anxiously awaiting their forever homes! We ask you all to stop out to see if one of our adoptable dogs could be YOUR new best friend!

Pucks N’ Paws Raffle winner!

Wow… What a year 2023 has been for us! We’ve seen more than 1500 animals come through our doors and we have fallen in love with each and every one of them! We can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for us! Happy New Year!🐾❤️

Come out to Platte Valley Taphouse!!

Here is a little update on our sweet guy Chewbacca! He is recovering super fast and has gotten his puppy energy back! He has absolutely stolen all of our hearts here at the shelter! We are hoping his jaw will be fully healed in a week or 2!

We are thrilled to announce that we got 7 dogs in from a shelter down in Texas, but we need your help! We are asking for donations to cover the costs of transferring them to us and the care that they need. One of those seven dogs is Sephora, she is heartworm positive. Her treatment is very expensive, and she still has so much life to live! We are super full, but these 7 dogs needed a second chance at life and we wanted to give that to them!

Kearney Area Animal Shelter

The Kearney Area Animal Shelter was made possible due to the generous donation of gifts, talents, and time of many individuals. Most importantly, $1,000,000.00 was donated by Scott and Cheryl Morris for the construction of a facility that would be capable fulfilling the mission of the Kearney Area Animal Shelter for generations to come.

After a long and careful planning period, the Kearney Area Animal Shelter broke ground on their new facility on June 10, 2005. The site is located on Highway 30, south of Meadowlark Golf Course and east of the Nebraska Department of Roads facility.

The Kearney Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony was held on February 16, 2006 at 4:30 pm. and pet adoptions began Sunday, February 19, 2006.
