Kansas City-area animal shelter facing eviction, needs to find homes for 100 pets

? A no-kill animal shelter in northeast Kansas needs to find homes for more than 100 dogs and cats before it is evicted.

The Pet Connection in the Kansas City suburb of Mission will be open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. through the weekend to try and place the animals — for free.

Volunteer Jason Huff told The Kansas City Star that if the shelter can’t come up with rent for December, it will be forced out of the building.

The shelter has been struggling since a veterinary clinic next door was forced to close this summer. The clinic was the non-profit shelter’s main source of revenue.

The shelter has about 74 dogs to place and the rest are cats. They are all spayed or neutered and can be adopted for free.
