RCHS serves Riley and surrounding counties by providing a variety of programs. These programs include educational programs benefiting elementary schools, informational booths and displays at special community events, animal cruelty investigations, spay/neuter/release for feral cats, participation in fairs and events sponsored by national animal welfare organizations to promote responsible pet ownership, and our fostering program. If you would be interested in having RCHS attend a local event or would like RCHS to come to your school or organization please contact info@rchsks.org
In addition to these ongoing events we have the following recurring annual events.... Prevent-a-litter Campaign: Rebate coupons are published in area newspapers for spay or neuter surgery.
