PITTSBURG, Kan. – “The animal facilities inspection program at the Kansas Department of Agriculture notified some unlicensed individuals that due to the number of dogs they had at their facility they were not operating legally,” explains Heather Lansdowne with the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
Lansdowne with the Department of Ag says a residence in Cherokee County was found to have more dogs than is allowed without a license. The limit is 20. She explains the Department of Ag let the homeowners know that they needed to get a license, but they didn’t comply.
So this week, the department removed nine dogs from the location which are now at the SEK Humane Society. After being checked out by a vet, Jasmine Kyle says they aren’t unhealthy. But the females were used for breeding, and all of them have a long way to go before they recover.

PITTSBURG, Kan. Last year, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Southeast Kansas Humane Society was full beyond its capacity as disruptions to people’s lives and their ability to care for their pets led to a drastic increase of intakes at the shelter.
To help make room for animals at the shelter, the humane society reached out to local businesses to see if they could sponsor animals and were able to find sponsors for 75 percent of the shelter’s animals in just one month.
Because of the campaign’s success, the SEK Humane Society is bringing back its Spring Sponsor-Thon for 2021. To become a sponsor of an animal, businesses pay the animal’s adoption fee, and the sponsorship lasts for the animal’s lifetime until it gets adopted. SEK Humane Society is proudly a no-kill animal shelter, Director Jasmine Kyle noted in announcing the Sponsor-Thon.
