It's been a while since updating the page, but here is some great news for your reading.
In 2022, a grant request was submitted through Petco Love for a security system. We were awarded $9000 in April of 2023! How cool and exciting is that!? Shout out to Central Plains Security for getting us up and running!
Earlier this year, a request was submitted through the Walmart #WalmartSparkGood for funds to help cover costs for TNR equipment and to help cover spay/neuters. We were awarded $900.00 to get that up and running. Thank you to @Walmart770 for the nice surprise in helping us work on the community cat population!
In May, we were approached to help with an employee appreciation event for Redbarn Premium Pet Products who scheduled Allison's Fun Inc. to entertain their employees and their families. WOW, what a great thing as we helped with rides, roasted corn, popcorn and snow cones. Helping out in this capacity allowed us to earn a few dollars for the shelter! Today we received $1947.50! Thank you all so much for thinking of us and the shelter pets!
These awards are much needed and very much appreciated. Without a few extra dollars for different projects, none of our continued work would be possible!
Several shelters and rescue organizations were asked for their assistance by the Kansas Department of Agriculture to house and care for nearly 200 dogs from a breeding facility in Southeast Kansas. We were able to step up and take in several from this facility as further investigations took place.
After the investigations and bond hearings were completed, we received some of the greatest news on June 23rd, 2023! All the dogs were signed over - no more breeding! Golden Belt took in 23 dogs, a variety of breeds and we are now working them into foster and new forever homes.
Shout out to Hill’s Pet Nutrition for helping us with food and thank you the Kansas Department of Agriculture officials for doing an amazing job! It was great seeing so many different organizations step up with these dogs and a great opportunity to have met some really fantastic people along the way.
Quoted from the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, "This is a monumental step in the right direction for shutting down inhumane breeding facilities and we are thrilled to announce these animals will never have to experience those conditions again."
We couldn't agree more!

Great Bend Industries made their way out to Golden Belt Humane Society to drop off donations and sponsor TWO cats!
The best news is the two kitties sponsored have both been adopted and doing well in their new forever homes.
