HERE ARE OUR FIVE PRIORITIES

KV-POP promotes
  • spay/neuter of dogs and cats in the Kirksville area (rural northeast Missouri) to prevent unwanted litters
  • proper care and training of pets so that they are healthy and well-behaved
  • the use of city licenses, tags, and microchips to help lost pets get home again
  • adoption (forever homes) from either of the two rescue groups in town
  • learning other strategies to cut down on the number of homeless pets in our area

Our efforts complement the work of the other two animal welfare groups in town, the Adair County Humane Society and Field of Dreams Rescue. While they provide temporary shelter for the many, many homeless dogs and cats in our area, our aim is to lower the number of animals in need of sheltering by helping people care for their pets.

Our primary mission is spay/neuter assistance.

We are an all-volunteer organization. We don't have the staff to answer a phone 24/7. Leave a message and we will return your call.

Complete the spay/neuter assistance application and we will process it at our monthly meeting. We send responses in the mail within 4-6 weeks.

We cannot respond to requests for emergency veterinary procedures.
Please contact a local veterinary clinic with all medical questions.

We depend upon donations and grants to pay for our work.
