Caring Hands Humane Society

Caring Hands Humane Society Caring Hands Humane Society is a 501c3 registered organization. We are a small humane society dedicated to finding a home for every animal entrusted to us.
(514)

We have reached the goal of being a “no kill community” in 2016 and have continued on that path every year since. We are committed to keeping that status every year from here out. A “No Kill Community” is an animal shelter that does not kill healthy or treatable animals even when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for terminally ill animals or those considered dangerous to public safety. Du

ring 2016, Caring Hands reached the goal with 90.42% and improved during 2017 to 93.1%. In 2018, we further increased that percentage to 95.66%! Behind those statistics are thousands of individual stories with happy endings because of your help! So many times when our resources were stretched to the limit, you came forward and brought food for the animals so they did not go hungry. You donated blankets so they were not cold. You gave them toys so they could have a little joy during their stay here. You saved their lives by providing foster homes until a kennel opened up or until they found their forever home. You sponsored their transport fees so they could go to rescues. You’ve supported us in our endeavors every time we have asked for your help. The companion animals here cannot speak, so on their behalf, we say thank you! The truth is, a shelter cannot achieve “no kill” status on its own. It takes a community. To find out how to take the next steps towards saving each and every animal, visit our volunteer, fostering, memberships, or donations pages. Remember, lives are saved one at a time!

⚡🌩️⚠️ Severe Weather Planning: Protect Your Pets! ⚠️🌩️⚡

As the Harvey County area may face severe weather conditions, including the potential for tornadoes, it's crucial to be prepared. Here are some important steps to ensure the safety of your pets:

🆔 1. Identification is Key
In case your pets get lost during a storm, make sure they have proper identification:

☑️Up-to-date license and tags
☑️A microchip with current contact info
☑️Labeled carriers for easy identification

🐕 2. Crate Your Pets During Severe Weather
Use a sturdy crate to keep your pets safe and secure.

☑️Crating them helps calm pets
☑️Crating keeps pets safe from running away and/or potentially being hurt
☑️Crating makes it easier for emergency responders to rescue pets, if needed

🚗 3. Have a Plan and Emergency Kit Ready
In the event of tornado or evacuation, be ready by preparing a pet emergency kit with essentials:

☑️Food and water (3+ days worth)
☑️Medications, leash, and first-aid kit
☑️Important documents (vet info, microchip records)
☑️Comfort items like toys or blankets

🏡4. Check Your Fences Post-Storm

☑️Before letting your animals out, check your fences for damage
☑️Repair any gaps to ensure your pets can’t escape

By preparing now, you can help keep your pets safe during severe weather.

Get a book and snuggle up with me! 📖🐕🥰

Hopefully you’re ready to laugh, because I am the king of being silly! Hi, I’m Griswold, a Labrador/Great Pyrenees Plot Hound mix, and I’m a jack of all trades! I love to play fetch and tug of war, and I will even play fetch by myself when I think no one is watching! 🥎 Don’t be fooled by my energetic silliness, though; I’m actually very smart! I can do tricks like “sit,” “stay,” and “shake,” and I am a very quick learner who is eager to please! I can also swim like a fish and I love water. 🏖🌊 My former owners did not have any other pets, but I have gotten along nicely with other doggy friends who have come to visit. I am not big on barking, but will make some silly noises when I am feeling playful or in need of attention. I love daily walks, but need a firm hand to guide me, as I am a pretty strong guy. 💪After the day is over, I enjoy taking it down a notch and receiving cuddles and pets! 🩷 Could that be you and me?

Griswold is part of our R.A.I.N. Rehoming Program, which helps keep pets out of shelters by working with their current owners to find the perfect match for rehoming!

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?! 🐶🐶 Was it you?!
All the dogs have been partying in the streets today! Luckily, we've gotten one back home, but these two pups still need their owners to pick them up!

The bicolor brown adult dog was found on the 300 block of East 8th St in Newton.

The "doodle" pup was found on the 5800 block of N Anderson, along with a couple others his size, plus one adult dog.

If you have been missing a dog, we encourage you to take a look at our website to view our dogs, or come in to visit! www.caringhandshs.org

🚪​🐈 Knock, Talk, and Save Lives! -- We need volunteers!​🚪​🐈

What if knocking on a few doors could save hundreds of cats? Are you concerned with the community cat populations in your neighborhood? 🐱😺

Our C.A.M.P. Trap, Neuter, Return program humanely reduces stray cat overpopulation, but many people in the community still don't know about it. We need volunteers to go door-to-door and share information with neighbors about our plans to trap in certain neighborhoods. Our current trapping plans are in neighborhoods in Sedgwick. 🚶

No selling, just informing!
💡We provide all materials--you just spread the word!
💡Two hours of your time = a BIG impact!

Help us educate and notify the community. Together, we can can reduce and rehome our community cats! 🐾

One of the best things about CHHS foster homes is that we get to see how they might do with other animals! Vesta had no reservations about meeting Fred the Dane! This girl will definitely love to be in a home with a big dog! How sweet is this video? Vesta & her sibling Latona came back from foster today and will soon be ready for adoption! Give us a call for more information about adopting! 316-283-0839

We are at max capacity for dogs! Strays keep arriving and we have nowhere to put them! They need adopters and fosters! Can't do either? You can still help by sponsoring a dog's adoption fee! Call us today to find out more - 3162830839

This is why foster homes are so important! Antenna came to us as a stray, and she has been very stressed trying to adjust to kennel life. She's spending a bit of time in one of our back offices to give her a break from the noise of others dogs so she can get some rest. We'd love to find her and our other dogs foster homes if they don't find permanent homes soon after arriving, but we don't have that many dog fosters! Thinking about helping? Fill out an application and we can help you through the process. https://caringhandshs.org/foster/foster-profile/

Our Story

Our Mission, through the promotion of education in basic humane animal care, is to relieve animal suffering and to prevent cruelty to animals.

At Caring Hands Humane Society, we believe all animals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect during all stages of life. We always strive to provide the best possible care to the animals entrusted to us and to educate others about the benefits of strengthening the bond between humans and companion animals. We are dedicated to finding a home for every animal entrusted to us. We have reached the goal of being a “no kill community” in 2016 and have continued on that path every year since. We are committed to keeping that status every year from here out.

A “No Kill Community” is an animal shelter that does not kill healthy or treatable animals even when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for terminally ill animals or those considered dangerous to public safety. During 2016, Caring Hands reached the goal with 90.42% and improved during 2017 to 93.1%. In 2018, we further increased that percentage to 95.66%! Behind those statistics are thousands of individual stories with happy endings because of your help!

So many times when our resources were stretched to the limit, you came forward and brought food for the animals so they did not go hungry. You donated blankets so they were not cold. You gave them toys so they could have a little joy during their stay here. You saved their lives by providing foster homes until a kennel opened up or until they found their forever home. You sponsored their transport fees so they could go to rescues. You’ve supported us in our endeavors every time we have asked for your help.
