The Riley County Humane Society, formed in January 1975, is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501 (c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of animals. We receive no funding from the government, United Way, or any national animal welfare organization.

Although we do not operate the local city animal shelter, we do work closely with area shelters to promote adoptions. In addition, we have our own animals available for adoptions that are cared for by volunteer foster parents. RCHS is supported by public donations and very modest membership dues. Learn more about RCHS
