Adopt a Pet
Every adoption saves a life and makes room for us to rescue another animal in need. Meet the dogs and cats waiting for you below.

The adoption process
Meet & greet
Visit the shelter or reach out about a pet you love. Spend time together to make sure it's a great fit for everyone.
Apply
Tap Adopt me on the pet you love and fill out the application right there — or apply in person. We'll review it and talk through the pet's needs with you.
Take them home
Once approved and the adoption fee is complete, your new family member goes home with you. Welcome to the family!
Adoption fees
- 🐶 Dogsnormally $150–$200
- 🐱 Cats$75
- 🐾 Other animalsvary
Other fees and costs may apply, and every adoption is handled case by case. Fees help cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, and care.
Ready to apply?
Applications are for a specific animal. Find your match above and tap Adopt me — the application opens right there and takes a few minutes. Approved applications stay on file for 30 days, so if your first choice finds a home we can still match you with another pet.
Questions first? Call (913) 367-3647 or email adoptions@humanesocietyofatchison.org. You can also apply in person at the shelter.
Need to rehome a pet?
If you can no longer care for an animal, tell us about them and we'll plan the safest next step together. No judgment — just help.
