Needy Paws Animal Shelter, an extension of Johnson County Humane Society, has been providing sanctuary for sick, injured, homeless and abused animals since 1997. We are proudly a no-kill shelter, working hard to place healthy, adoptable pets into loving, forever homes! Needy Paws Animal Shelter is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We receive no government funding. To maintain our status as a no-kill shelter, we implement managed intake. Animal intakes are by appointment only. While we are unable to provide space for every animal, we share ample resources, advice, and tips to assist pet owners who can no longer care for their pets as well as individuals who have taken in stray cats or dogs.
We work hard to match your family with the pet that is the best fit for your lifestyle. We ask that each potential adopter: 1) Submit an application. This helps us learn more abotu your and your family and guides our conversation to make sure we are sending you home with the best pup or kitty ever! 2) Of course, we'd like for everyone in the home to meet the shelter pet you are interested in! 3) If you have dogs in your home, we do require that you bring them for a meet and greet. We want to make sure everyone gets long before you head home with your new best friend!
