Profile

The Riley County Humane Society is a local, all-volunteer,animal rescue organizationthat is dedicated to the welfare of pets. Our purpose is to help both homeless and owned pets and their families in the community.

RCHS’s efforts are divided between our rescue/foster/adoption program and our community assistance programs including but not limited to, an emergency pet food supply, and a financial assistance program for low-income pet owners to help with basic veterinary care for their pets.

Through our rescue/foster/adoption program RCHS saves hundreds of adoptable pets per year from needless euthanasia. These animals come from over-crowded animal shelters or as owner surrenders and are placed in foster homes throughout our community until they are adopted. All cats and dogs that enter our program are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped prior to adoption. Many pets have been abused or neglected prior to coming to RCHS and require substantial medical care before being adopted to new homes.
