Post #1 :The Second Best Home Your Pet Will Ever Have

 Helping Hands Humane Society is a non-profit organization in Topeka, Kansas that works hard everyday to find animals new forever homes. I am very proud to say that I have worked at this amazing place for almost two years now. At the beggining of January we moved to a brand new facility and it is absolutly gorgeous. The animals love it here and it has be bringing a lot of attention to our shelter which is really great. We have only been open since January 8th and have already done over 200 adoptions. It brightens up my day everytime I see a family comes into us and leave with a new loving pet to call theirs forever. We are an open-door shelter, meaning we do have to euthanize from time to time but that does not make us a bad place. What most people are unaware of is all of the shelters around us are no-kill and have a limited amount of space so when they fill up all of the lost animals or ones who can no longer be taken care of have to come to us instead. On average we recieve about 40-60 animals a day and during the summer the numbers are usually higher. It is a very sad reality to know this but knowledge helps us grow and see things differently. Even though we have to euthanize we never turn down any animal for any reason and we spoil the heck out of them while their there. My job is to do everything I can to find the perfect homes for all of these animals and I counldn't be more happier doing it. In this blog you will get to see some of the great families that have adopted and their journey through the process of finding the perfect new family member. If you are looking for a new pet hopefully this will help you decide to adopt and feel more comfortable about shelters and what we do. After all, Helping Hands Humane Society is the second best home your pet will ever have.
