The 2016 calendar year was an exciting time at Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association! What’s most exciting is that we’re closer to our goals than ever before! Our goal at KCHA is not simply to save every adoptable and treatable animal that enters our facility. It’s to ensure each and every animal in Kanawha County is safe and loved. I’m happy to tell you, we’re on our way!

As little as five years ago, KCHA admitted 10,000 animals per year – 40% of whom were surrendered by families that felt they’d run out of options. In 2016, through our efforts to keep pets with the families that love them, we reduced that number to just 5%! Our pet retention program provides resources to pet owners in need, including supplies, training tips, behavior advice, and low-cost spay/neuter.

Mission Statement
KCHA is committed to saving the lives of animals through sheltering, adoption, foster care, spay and neuter programs, cruelty prevention, and community outreach.

Vision Statement
Guided by compassion, KCHA will become a leader in progressive animal sheltering, eliminating unwarranted euthanasia, and create a community that celebrates the human-animal bond.
