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.
Abandoned and alone, these kittens were found as strays with nowhere to go. Thankfully, a foster stepped up and gave them a chance.
Now they need your help.
Every dollar donated to Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary goes toward the care these kittens need while they wait for forever homes. From food and litter to veterinary care, the costs add up quickly.
🐱 Fosters save lives. ❤️ Donations save futures.
Help us show these little ones that they are loved.

Our sweet mini ponies bring smiles, comfort, and joy everywhere they go — from community events to senior center visits — and now they need a little help from our community in return. Caring for these tiny ambassadors is a daily labor of love, and the cost of their basic monthly supplies continues to grow. A single bag of grain costs $40 and lasts just three weeks for three ponies. Hay is $10 per bale and only feeds the minis for about two days, 1 bag of shavings cost $7 used daily to keep their barn clean, dry, and comfortable.
We are asking for help through donations, sponsorships, or supply contributions to keep our mini ponies healthy, happy, and ready to continue spreading joy throughout the community.
Every dollar, bale of hay, bag of grain, or bag of shavings makes a direct difference in their care. If you would like to support the minis, please reach out or donate today. Your kindness helps these little ponies continue making a big impact. 🐴❤️

Some dogs come to us because they were unwanted.
And then there are dogs like this sweet boy… named Marvin, who are very much loved, but whose family has found themselves facing circumstances beyond their control.
His family is going through more than most of us could ever understand from the outside looking in. They reached out for help in the only way they knew how. When they turned to a veterinarian, surrendering him and euthanasia seemed like the only options left.
But sometimes people don’t know how to ask for help. Sometimes they are overwhelmed, scared, hurting, and simply trying to find a safe solution when they feel like they have run out of choices.
There is no judgment here.
We are not in their shoes. We don’t know every battle they are facing. What we can do is step up with compassion and make sure this beloved dog has somewhere safe to go.
So that is what we are doing.
We are giving his family the peace of mind of knowing that their dog will be cared for, protected, and loved. We will make sure he has a future. A safe place. And, most importantly, the chance to find a forever home where he will never have to worry about being without a family again.
Yes, there may have been other options. But right now, this is the option that works for this family, keeps their dog safe, and gives him the opportunity for the life he deserves.
Sometimes rescue isn’t about judging how someone got to the point of needing help.
Sometimes rescue is simply about saying:
“We understand. We’ve got him from here.” ❤️🐾
So now we need a loving foster to step up too. Is that you?! Can you help?!?
