Providing Love Is Our Paw-ssion
Even a single act of kindness can save an animal’s life.
Always & Furever advocates not just for the lives of pets, but for the quality of their lives. We go beyond most shelters, offering our rescues a chance to experience kindness, comfort, and joy while they wait for their furever home to find them.
From critical medical care to daily moments of comfort and love, every animal in our care is treated with dignity while they wait for their furever home.
Whether you adopt, volunteer, or give, your compassion becomes their second chance.

What Makes Us Special
Patience
Unlike other shelters, we refuse to give up on any of the animals that enter our doors. No matter what, our team devotes as much of our time, energy, and funding as possible to keep our animals healthy and safe.
Protection
Even after our animals find their furever homes, we vow to help you take care of them, if necessary. We conduct frequent follow ups and can help connect you to resources as needed. One day, we hope to reduce barriers between adopters and essential pet care, including veterinary costs and food purchases.
Positivity
Plans change and mistakes happen, but it’s our job to persevere and to learn. What began in Spring Hill, Kansas, has grown into a life-saving mission serving animals across Osawatomie, Kansas City, Wichita, and beyond. We’re here to be the model of forgiveness that these animals need, which helps us become better, kinder people.
Adoption Process
If you’re ready to join our community of adopters, we’re glad to have you! Before you bring your furry friend home, though, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow. Start by filling out an application and then we will begin:
- Reference Checks – This helps us understand you as a pet owner. If this is your first pet, don’t worry—this step helps us match you with the right animal.
- Virtual Home Check – The size of your home isn’t important, as long as it meets your pet’s needs.
- Background check – We need this information to check for any past animal-related incidents. All animals deserve secure, happy homes.
- Medical Team Consultation – Ensuring the health of you, your new friend, and any current pets you have is essential.
- Meet-and-Greets – We’ll repeat this step as necessary to verify that you and your desired companion are compatible.
Future Plans at the Homestead
A fortunate turn of events led Always & Furever to purchase 40 acres next to our original Little Red Barn. What began as a simple letter to the landowners is now a dream come true! Our main focus will be on building smaller facilities for puppies, cats, reactive animals, and on-site medical care. Then, we can shift focus to hosting community-centered activities on the property that encourage kind humans to adopt animals in need. This could include puppy yoga, pancake breakfasts with dogs, bingo nights with cats, and more.
Our mission continues to grow. Today, we proudly serve pets and people across the region, with key locations in Wichita, Osawatomie, and our soon-to-be Homestead East in Kansas City, MO.
🚨 IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED FOR A SENIOR IN NEED 🚨
This little Pekingese was found wandering all alone on the hot, scorching city streets. 💔 Senior and only about 15 lbs.
In this heat, it is dangerous for any dog to be outside without shelter, water, or safety—but for a small senior dog, it can quickly become life-threatening.
We don’t know how long he had been out there.
We don’t know if he wandered away or if he was dumped and left to fend for himself. What we do know is that he was dehydrated, scared, and completely alone.
And despite everything, he is sweet, gentle, and deserving of so much more than being left to survive on the streets. 🥺
🐾 WE NEEDs US 🐾
He needs a safe, cool place to decompress, rest, and receive the love and care every senior dog deserves. Please, if you can open your home to this little old man, even temporarily, we need you now.
We are also asking for donations to help us care for him. Senior dogs often come with medical needs, and we want to make sure he receives whatever veterinary care, testing, treatment, and support he may need.
💔 He survived the streets. Now let's make sure he has somewhere safe to go.
🙏 Please donate if you can.
🏡 Please foster if you can.
📢 And if you can't do either, PLEASE SHARE.
This sweet senior should not have to spend another moment wondering if he is safe or where his next drink of water will come from. Let's show him that his life matters. ❤️🐾
