KCHF - Kankakee County Humane Foundation (Saint Anne)

The Kankakee County Humane Foundation (KCHF) is a 501(c) (3) non- profit organization that is a no-kill animal shelter. The organization is entirely dependent on memberships and private donations. We do not receive any tax revenue or public funds. Since 1963 we have rescued unwanted, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats in the Kankakee County area.

The KCHF provides shelter, food, veterinary care, love and training. The organization adopts out their animals to safe, loving and caring homes through an application and screening process. We home foster our puppies, kittens, some dogs and cats exposing them to in-home living, manners and socialization. The organization supports responsible pet ownership by performing background checks and validating personal and veterinary references listed on adoption applications.

The KCHF provides community support by engaging in animal welfare advocacy in the following areas:

* Offering low income spay and neuter voucher assistance

* Providing food and veterinary care assistance when needed to maintain owner retention

• Partnering with other rescues organizations and agencies

* Working to eliminate dog fighting and abuse in our community through education and legislative action

* Partnering with local veterinarians to promote adoption, care, spay and neutering

* Teaching care and responsible pet ownership to the public including elementary classes and children’s organizations

* Offering Illinois Dept. of Agriculture Licensed Humane Investigators to respond to concerns of abuse and neglect

The KCHF is not affiliated with the United States Humane Society.
