Sometimes the stories that come out of the Humane Society’s Ray of Hope program can be difficult to hear. Luckily, Romeo and Juliet’s Ray of Hope story has a happy ending. These two sweet dogs (pictured) were abandoned inside a house after their owners moved away. When the starving dogs were found a month later they were barely able to stand, but their tails were still wagging. The doors and windows of the house were scratched where the dogs had tried to escape. They’d gone through the trash looking for food and the toilet water was all gone. Romeo and Juliet were saved just in time. Visit their adoption profiles online at hsgkc.org to learn more about these two sweet dogs.
Ray of Hope is a partnership between the Humane Society and KCK Animal Control Services. This innovative partnership has dramatically decreased the euthanasia at the KCK Animal Control Facility from 70% in 2007 to less than 1% in 2010. (All the while, the Humane Society has continued to maintain our no kill shelter status too.) If you’d like to make a gift today to continue the viability of Ray of Hope and save pets in desperate situations like Romeo and Juliet visit www.hsgkc.org or call 913-596-1000 x 114. Ray of Hope costs the Humane Society an average of $12,000 a month. (This breaks down to $50 to save one healthy pet or $189 to save one sick or injured pet.)
