Fancy’s Fund

In May of 2014, Fancy, a beloved Akita at the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City passed away, but not without leaving an impact. In her honor, the HSGKC established this fund in her memory for senior dogs, cats and other aging pets to provide special care and help get them adopted into forever homes.
