Second Chances for Pets in Need

Every year, countless dogs, cats, and other pets experience abuse and neglect at the hands of their previous owners. This can leave physical, mental, and emotional scars that other shelters won’t take the time to heal. At Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary, we believe that every rescued animal deserves patience and kindness.

We Rescue Animals Differently

No-Kill Shelter

We refuse to put an animal down if they require extensive healing before they can become adoptable. Every pet we bring in becomes part of our animal shelter & rescue center in Kansas City or Wichita until they join a new family. No matter how long it takes.

Gradual Rehabilitation

No matter the cost of medical bills or the time it takes for an animal to trust humans again, we’re willing to go the distance. We never put an animal up for adoption unless they are 100% ready for it.

Selective Adoption

Our extensive background check process ensures that our rescued animals get the care they need with their new best friend. This includes multiple pre-adoption meet-and-greets to confirm the match is perfect.

Not Your Average Shelter

It doesn’t matter to us whether an animal is chronically ill, afraid to trust, or all the way across the country. We’ll do everything we can to get dogs, cats, and other pets the care they need and the love they deserve.
