*IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PIT BULLS & PIT BULL MIXES!
Overland Park Animal Control has informed us that pit bulls/pit bull mixes are not permitted in Overland Park, and they will visit the picnic to issue citations to owners of these breeds or shut down the event. Because of this, while Heart of America Humane Society has and continues to help pit bulls/pit bull mixes find loving homes, we regretfully request that adopters not bring those dogs to the picnic and risk an incident and a citation. Next year we will seek an alternate location for our picnic where all our adopters and their pets can come celebrate.

This annual event was originally launched by Heart of America Humane Society as a way to reunite foster animals with their foster parents and raise money to help support adoption the activities of The Heart of America Humane Society. It is really a social gathering for animals and animal lovers.
Donate to help support adoption the activities of
The Heart of America Humane Society.
Adoption Events also are held intermittently throughout the year at other local businesses and at festivals. Please check our events menu to learn of upcoming Adoption and Fundraising Events.
