About Us

Our Mission

​The mission of the Kent Animal Shelter is to provide a no-kill haven for homeless, abused and abandoned animals until permanent homes can be found. Programs include Adoption, Rescue, Low Cost Spay/Neuter, Humane Education.

Hundreds of animals are placed in responsible homes each year, and thousands are spayed or neutered at the KENT Animal Shelter Clinic at low cost or sometimes free for the public and wellness care such as low cost vaccinations are available in an effort to allow everyone in all financial brackets to take care of their pets.

About Us

Nearly a half century ago, a small group of humanitarians established Kent Animal Shelter as a private nonprofit humane society to care for abused, abandoned and homeless animals. It still stands as a testament to their vision, efforts and dedication.

KENT is a haven where thousands of unfortunate animals have found love, and left misery and pain behind them. The shelter never destroys an animal unless incurably ill. Programs include Rescue, Adoption or re-homing animals that have been taken from crisis situations and provided with food, shelter, medical care, life saving surgeries, spay/neuter and a permanent microchip identity.

KENT Animal Shelter offers several services related to caring for animals in the community:

Adoptions

KENT typically has about 100 pets in need of forever homes. All pets are spayed or neutered before adoption, micro-chipped, vaccinated and tested for canine heartworm, tick-borne diseases, feline aids and leukemia.
