Who Me? A Home for Me? Animal Haven is Helping; GBA Is Too!


Dogs rule! At GBA, we like dogs! We like cats too! And we're very pleased to be working with the folks at Animal Haven, who help find homes for little guys just like this. And they do, with great success!

Each year, 2,500 dogs and cats are adopted from Animal Haven! And each year, 1,000 dogs and cats are reunited with their families thanks to Animal Haven's Lost Pet Center! But the no-kill shelter has outgrown its Kansas City Metro Area facility in Merriam, Kansas, and is looking to move to a larger space where they can devote even more love and attention to these special animals.

GBA's Kim Pearse and Tawn Nugent are working on the front lines, serving on the capital campaign committee, developing a Speakers' Bureau presentation to take to the community, and devoting their time and expertise to the organization. In fact, Tawn just finished volunteer training and joins other volunteers who ensure that all dogs get outside for a walk and some play every day!

Animal Haven, which serves 12 municipalities in the Metro Area, shares a vision with other local animal welfare organizations whose goal is to transform the Greater KC Metro Area into a No-Kill Community by the year 2012. All of us can help!

BTW, this fine pup was adopted by GBA's Bobbi and Brad Burton and their son, Jacob. Jacob, who is nine, is pictured here with Freddie, one!
