Friends of Animal Services Birthday Bash Fundraiser

Come support Friends of KCK Animal Services at our annual birthday party fundraiser honoring our rockstar volunteers, Jennifer Squires & Michelle Helen!

This year's fundraiser will be held at Breit's Stein & Deli on historic Strawberry Hill, at the corner of 5th & Elizabeth. Meet adoptable dogs and puppies; enter our birthday raffle for your chance to leave with some cool prizes; and enjoy one of Breit's famous reuben sandwiches and a cold beverage - all while soaking up some springtime sunshine on their outdoor patio!

The event is free to attend with proceeds from the raffle and donations going to support Friends of KCK Animal Services - the volunteer army that supports our shelter. So what Thanks to the dedication of volunteers from Friends of KCK Animal Services:

Our volunteers walk every single shelter dog and give out extra love every Friday & Saturday!
In 2024, our volunteers placed a record 561 pets in foster homes! That's 561 pets who didn't have to stay in the shelter, allowing space to take in additional dogs and cats.
Another record was set in 2024 with 1,115 pets finding their forever families through our volunteer driven adoption program. Looking to add to your family? Volunteers staff adoption events out in the community as well as adoption hours at the shelter every weekend!
While KCK Animal Services is a no-kill shelter, euthanasia is still a sad reality in certain situations. But thanks to our robust foster & adoption programs, even that rate has decreased by an impressive 60% since 2021.
