Welcome to No Place Like Home

No Place Like Home, Inc. is a not for profit organization. No person at 
this facility receives any compensation for their time and effort. Our goals are to
aid in reducing the pet population through affordable spay and neuter
programs, reduce the number of stray animals euthanized due to lack of
identification and when an animal is relinquished or left unclaimed give
them as much time as possible to find new, adequate homes.
The adoption fee at No Place Like Home is $100. This charge covers the
expense of rabies and four-way vaccinations for the animal, heart worm
testing and a micro-chip implant . Also covered are the miscellaneous cost
incurred for the care and boarding of the animals until they are adopted. 
If a person or family really wants to adopt one of our animals and just can 
not afford our adoption fees, we will work with them in any way possible. 
Just come and talk to us. Our objective is to find good homes to place 
the animals.  If you have the love and will give them good care, the 
problem should not be great.

Our Credentials

We are an incorporated 501c3 organization. 
Our premise is covered by Animal Shelter license # PS-312-2007 
issued by the Kansas Animal Health Department.
We are members of the American Humane Association, ID# 00668283S

Relinquishment

When a pet owner can no longer care for their pet they can bring it to No
Place Like Home. (A donation would be appreciated). 
These pets should ideally have their inoculations up to
date and all proof of inoculations should also be brought to the shelter.
Once relinquished these pets will become the property of No Place Like Home
and steps will be taken to find new adequate homes for them.

Puppies

Puppies can be adopted from No Place Like Home. The adoption rate is the
 same. All animals adopted from No Place Like Home must, by Ks. law, be
spay/neutered. An additional $65 deposit will be required at the time of
adoption. This deposit will be refunded as soon as proof of spay/neuter can
be presented to the shelter.

Stray Animals

Any stray animal brought to No Place Like Home whether by city/county
officials or private individuals will be held at the shelter for five (5)
days and an ad place in the lost and found of the local newspaper for three
(3) days. If the animal is claimed, current proof of rabies vaccination must
be presented and a fee of $10. per day paid before the animal will be
released. If the animal is unclaimed it will become the property of No
Place Like Home. Once the animal is under our care appropriate steps
will be taken to ready them for adoption.

It's the Law

Kansas Law No. 47-1731 requires all adopted animals to be spay/neutered

Clinics

Since opening our doors No Place Like Home, Inc. has held successful low
cost inoculation clinics in the fall as well as early in the year. To date,
we have inoculated close to 200 animals on clinic days. No Place Like Home
wants to help keep your pet healthy and happy. During our clinics, we also
offer nail trimming, micro-chip implants. All proceeds from our clinics go
toward the purchase of micro-chips, vaccinations, veterinarian fees and
improvements to the shelter. Check the "What's New" page for 
announcements of upcoming vaccination clinics. 

Goals

No Place Like Home strives to serve the community with programs that will
help to reduce the number of unwanted, abandoned, and feral animals in the
area. Our goals include implementing a *Capture-Neuter-Release (CNR)
program to control and/or decrease the feral cat population .
*Spay/Neuter All Pets (S.N.A.P.) program to make spay/neutering of pets
affordable to low income families. $$$'s are needed before we can see
such goals accomplished. Thanks to your generous support we now perform
heartworm test on all animals before adoption.
Donations can be left at First National Bank 418 N.W. 3rd or look for our
donation jars located throughout Abilene and the surrounding community.
