The Little Red Barn
Spring Hill, KS
Our original location, this sweet red barn once started as nothing but a shell with a million dreams waiting to be born. The main floor of the barn is one big open room where senior pups spend the day lounging around on couches while they wait for their furever families to come along. The upper floor holds 4 suites that act as mini apartments for dogs who do not like other dogs. We strive to make every day special for the pups at the little red barn. We also have mini ponies at this location that you can meet too!
Dog Dates
Take a pup out for a change of scenery and some much-appreciated 1:1 time! For a dog date, we will bring a pup out to your car so you can drive and explore together. Take a pup for a walk around Hillsdale Lake, a drive down old country roads, play time at a park, or a quick treat with a pup-cup at Sonic! For more ideas around KC, visit this article. Must be 18+
Volunteering
We always have endless tasks that we need help with! The main activity we need help with is walking the dogs and having new people meet them and spend time with them. When you arrive, staff will bring out a dog (of your choice or their recommendation) and off you go to explore our 40 acres of wooded trails together! We also have several play yards if you would rather hang out with a group of pups or do 1:1 toy time. Occasionally we also need help with laundry, cleaning, or other special tasks like yard work. Due to the way this shelter is set up as an open space, some of our long term resident dogs aren’t always comfortable with strangers inside so for the most part, only staff are allowed inside the building. The bathroom is accessible though and if we have a good group of friendly dogs we can accommodate inside time as well. Regardless, be sure to dress for the weather, all levels of experience and capabilities are greatly appreciated! Must be 16+ or have a parent/guardian present
- All volunteers must have an electronic waiver on file, regardless of activity
- Volunteer orientations are held at least one Sunday and one Saturday of every month. Orientation is not required to begin volunteering, but is useful for those who want to learn more about dog behavior, the background of A&F, and other ways to get involved.
- Look for upcoming orientations here!
