PALS is an organization of volunteers who place animals into qualified homes.  Most of the animals are rescued from the WICHITA ANIMAL SHELTER.  Many of these animals would have been euthanized without help from PALS.  We, also, help a limited number of animals from private individuals who, due to hardships, can no longer care for their pets.

PALS works mainly with adult dogs, but on occasion will have puppies and other animals.  We handle both pure breed and mixed breed dogs.  We, also, work with reputable Pure Breed Rescues, both locally and nationally.

PALS specializes in providing to qualified homes a mature, house trained, obedient member of the family.  We, also, counsel individuals on what type of pet would be best for them and match the home with the pet that is most appropriate.

PALS is an alternative animal rescue organization made up of volunteers. 100% of all donations go for medical expenses, supplies, and advertising to find our animals good homes.

PALS is a 501 (c) 3 organization.

 

 

WHAT DOES PALS DO

The WICHITA ANIMAL SHELTER and PALS have developed a unique and successful relationship of working together for the benefit of stray and unwanted animals in our area.  We routinely visit the Shelter located at 3303 N. Hillside and evaluate their animals.

An initial screening on prospective animals is done to determine their ability to make a good companion animal.  If a screened animal is not reclaimed or adopted, we place it in our program, if we have space.

Adult dogs are all given an occult heartworm test.  If negative, they are started on preventative.  The pets then go into a foster home, are spayed/neutered and given the appropriate vaccinations.  The foster home evaluates the pet to determine the type of home it should go into and begins house training and general obedience training. 

Potential adopters are carefully screened to ensure that the pets are placed in responsible homes.
