SCARS is an unique, nationally recognized, open range, no-kill, dog only, 501 c 3 shelter dedicated to finding the most suitable adopter for each dog.

We work to provide love, shelter, and veterinary care to abused and abandoned dogs in the eastern Kansas area. It is our mission to find them a permanent, loving and healthy home, or temporary accommodations until a permanent home becomes available. All of our dogs are assessed and treated by a vet immediately upon arrival. Shots are updated, and the dogs are neutered or spayed prior to joining the rest of our friends.
