Emporia Animal Control

We are grateful that there is a no-kill shelter system in place in our area. The ladies that worked the front desk were friendly and awesome. Abby was so helpful with filling out the adoption paperwork and making sure we had everything we needed when it was time to take him home. Thanks to the corporate sponsors Hill’s Pet Food and Emporia Middle School that filled up a gift bag of kitty toys, treats and food.🍲 We adopted Uno on June 13, 2025. He had been at the Prarie Paws Shelter in Emporia, KS for about 6 weeks. The first time we met him, he climbed up onto my chest and snuggled into my neck. ❤️ He was shedding pretty bad (probably stress related). We came the next day to see how he tolerated being brushed. He loved it! His former owner left a beautiful handwritten letter with him that

We adopted Blake. ❤️ The shelter was wonderful to us as Blake made his final decision 💙 We(our whole family) couldn't be happier!

KEANU!!! 🥳🎉 I absolutely love both this shelter and the kitten I recently adopted :). They send you home with records and a food sample! While the cats are litterbox trained, Keanu did have a few accidents. With patience, he got used to the new environment very quickly and that was fixed! Keanu is so spoiled and loved.<3

I adopted a cat from Emporia Animal Shelter about 3 weeks ago named Sky. I have renamed her Scarlet after Scarlet Witch from Marvel! :) Let me just start with saying I really hit the cat jackpot with Scarlet! I love her with my whole heart and every fiber of my being and I just can’t even imagine my life now without her or even remember what it was like before I got her! She is the SWEETEST cat and gives the best cuddles. She means business when making her biscuits… always hot and ready :) haha. I would highly recommend adopting from this shelter the staff were so sweet and you could tell they all genuinely love these animals and want the best for them! Enjoy the picture of my little bb <3

We worked with the shelter to adopt our absolutely perfect dog, Cappuccino, and could not have had a better experience! Both the shelter staff and our dog's foster parents were extremely helpful, sent timely communication, and helped coordinate a smooth transition from her foster home to our home. Most importantly, it was clear the our dog had been very well loved and cared for throughout her time at shelter/in foster. We are so grateful for all of the work done by the shelter staff and the fosters they work with, and would highly recommend working with them to find your perfect companion, too!
