Southeast Kansas Humane Society asks Crawford County for $30,000 monthly to avoid closure

The Southeast Kansas Humane Society formally asked the Crawford County Commission on a county funding plan that would provide $30,000 a month to keep the shelter open and avoid shutting down intakes planned for the end of December 2025. Jasmine Kyle, director of the Southeast Kansas Humane Society, told commissioners the shelter is “at a crisis point” and said, “Without sustainable monthly funding from the county, we are looking to be forced to be shut down by the end of this year, by this December 2025.”
