Ray of Hope is a Pet's Best Friend
The howls of despair are not as loud as they used to be for homeless pets in Kansas City thanks to the Ray of Hope Program.
Ray of Hope is a partnership between the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City and the Kansas City Kansas Animal Control to place pets from the city shelter before their time is up. Ray of Hope utilizes a network of rescue groups, no kill shelters, sanctuaries and adoption events. The results so far have been significant -- 1,000 pets have been saved in 2009. The KCK Animal Control's euthanasia rate has decreased from 56% to 4%.
Ray of Hope is causing an average loss of $5,000 to $7,000 per month to the Humane Society. The spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, heartworm testings and repairable medical procedures are done at the Humane Society's expense. We are making our appeal direct to you our most dedicated supporters to help keep this miraculous project going. Our staff and volunteers are committed to seeing this through and have it become an ongoing service of the Humane Society.
