Description The Kearney Area Animal Shelter is supported by donations and earned user fees. KAAS is a no kill animal shelter. There is no time limit imposed on animals in our care. As long as the animal is medically and behaviorally healthy, it remains with us as long as it takes to be adopted. We partner with other animal welfare organizations and specialized rescues to help find loving homes for animals, as needed. Our animals have no time-limits and we never euthanize for space. We are dedicated to finding the perfect home for each pet in our care!

They helped me find my pup when he went missing. I described him to them and in 5 minutes they found a post on Facebook that someone found him and called me to let me know!!

Went to get a cat and had a terrible time, and horrible service. I asked for help and was not given any, and the attitude from them was like they didn't care. Was hoping to get a cat that would be a playmate for my cat, who is barely a year old. They made the cat that I got seem like the best, and I trusted their judgment. A few days later, I found that the cat I got was acting more as a parent towards my cat. I was not looking for that. I remembered the policy that I signed, which stated that there was a return policy that lasted for a week after getting said pet. Which stated that you could return said pet, and half of what you paid would go towards another pet. So I went to get a pet that would better suit my needs. Only I got yelled at and belittled and told that I was traumatizing the cats, I only ever had one from there. I was also told I'm supposed to take a month to let them all get along. Only the return policy wouldn't last that long. I could clearly see that they wouldn't. Then I was told I wasn't allowed to get another cat because they didn't trust me. My only question and concern is why have a return policy if you aren't going to honor it or even keep it? My suggestion don't even waste your time going there.

We were looking for a furbaby that would be a playmate for our older husky. Not only is Della (Dayle) a great playmate, she has brought laughter and life into our lives!! She made herself right at home and even knows where we keep the treats!! 😁 Thanks so much for letting us adopt Della. She is SO SWEET!

Having read other reviews, particularly the recent one-star reviews, I wish to add my review and two cents. I can also assure you that this is not a “fake” review as other reviewers have accused. Over the last few years, I have adopted both a dog (Cash) and a cat (Nickle) through KAAS; both of which would not be alive today without KAAS’s skilled care prior to adoption. With both adoptions, staff was very welcoming, friendly, and eager to assist. Their screening process for potential adopters IS thorough, which I personally can appreciate very much. Homeless animals are very vulnerable creatures and KAAS does their due diligence to ensure that they go to a responsible and suitable home that can fully care for the animal. Their adoption fees are very reasonable, and a pittance compared to the true lifelong cost of an animal. Additionally, because many of the animals arrive quite ill and all receive veterinary care, they often lose money even with adoption fees. Finally, I want to personally thank the director of KAAS. On a holiday weekend, when the on-call veterinarian was not available and I was desperate for help, she provided excellent care and personal time to my found orphaned kitten. She is knowledgeable, selfless, and a blessing to have at KAAS. If you are looking for a new family member or place to donate your time or money, I highly encourage you to visit KAAS as I cannot recommend them enough!
