All dogs are heart worm tested and given a monthly heart worm preventative.We groom dogs on a regular basis, along with basic obedience training.The dogs are fed Science Diet Food, unless special requirements are needed. You can find more information on the individual dogs by clicking on their photo below. If you are interested in one of our animals you must fill out our Adoption Application.

Heart Of Jackson Humane Society Adoption Policy
Heart of Jackson Humane Society's goal is to place our dogs in their forever homes. We strive to make the best match for the dog as well as the adopting family. The application and interview process is necessary to achieve this goal.
There are many variables that go into making adoption decisions so each application is reviewed on an individual basis. Being the first person to complete an application does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the dog. We do not work on a first-come, first-served basis. We try to find the best match possible between the dog and the adopting family. A certain dog may not be considered appropriate for your particular situation and may not be adopted to you. Residents of Jackson County, Kansas, will be given first consideration.
Adoption inquiries/applications from individuals who have surrendered a pet or adopted a pet and returned a pet will be scrutinized to determine if the individual is eligible to adopt a dog.
Caution will be exercised when adopting to homes with young children. We typically do not adopt where there are children under the age of five. Even well-behaved children are still children. They do silly things from time to time and sometimes those silly things can hurt of frighten a dog. We do not know the history of most of our dogs, and we feel it is irresponsible to put our dogs and young children at risk of becoming the victims of an unfortunate incident. Puppies are not appropriate for homes with young children because they are fragile, require more time and care, and are prone to play-related scratching and biting.
Dogs will be spayed or neutered before they leave for their new home. Exceptions may be made for those dogs that are too young or have medical reasons requiring the procedure to be done later. When this occurs, a future date for surgery will be planned.
Adoptions are finalized with an adoption contract. We ask that you provide a loving home and all veterinary care for the lifetime of the dog. Adoption fees are charged to help offset the cost of caring for the dog, as well as veterinary expense. The fee varies for each animal and depends on my factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition and public demand.
