It has been a brutally cold winter here in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Temperatures have been below zero, with wind chills even colder. People and animals are trying to survive through the cold and the snow.
Chain of Hope is out six days a week, helping animals in the urban core of Kansas City. We provide service to many animals in the homeless community. Everything from spay/neuter, medical care, shelter, food, blankets, treats, toys, etc. We also give out sleeping bags, blankets, water jugs and other items to the homeless people that we come across.
Some of the homeless will surrender their animal to us, wanting a better life for their friend. That is selfless love. It’s at times like these that we are so happy to bring that animal in from the cold and know that it is going to be alright! Some of the people are out there because of choices they've made along the way, but the animals are innocent and get caught up in unstable and sometimes frightening and life-threatening situations. That is where Chain of Hope comes in! We try and work with the pet owner for a better resolution to things. Sometimes, we are successful and sometimes we are not, but we always try to improve the life for that animal.
We understand life on the streets and the challenges that come with that. We also understand the need for companionship and unconditional love. It's a complex issue. Chain of Hope has been out here for 14 yrs, making a difference and saving animals' lives on the streets of Kansas City, Mo. Thank you for helping us accomplish our mission of alleviating the suffering of animals in the inner city. It's a difficult life for so many, but we are out there helping, thanks to you!
