Kansas Humane Society reports records set in 2018

(AP) The Kansas Humane Society says it set a record for the number of homes or placements it found for animals last year.

The agency says it placed 11,204 animals and had a 94 percent save rate last year.

KFDI reports the Humane Society said its save rate increased by 50 percent since it moved into its new facility in Wichita in 2009.

The organization says 8,432 animals were adopted in 2018, and another 1,955 were transferred to rescue partners. Another 710 animals were reunited with their owners and 107 were transferred to partner shelters.

The group also reported that it performed 2,281 donor-subsidized spay and neuter surgeries for animals last year. The agency also expanded its program to find placements for feral or semi-social cats.
