Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoption failed a state inspection in October, launching the license revocation process, and it has faced growing scrutiny following media reports that animals were housed in unsanitary conditions.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture has officially revoked the license of embattled Mission animal shelter Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoption.
In an emailed statement Wednesday, Heather Lansdowne, director of communications for the department, told the Shawnee Mission Post that an order to revoke the shelter’s license was issued Tuesday, expanding on an emergency order issued last week for the shelter to immediately stop taking in new animals.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel the shelters are overrun from careless pet reproduction. Unless you are a registered breeder for a specific species of cat and even, neutering is one of the most inexpensive and reliable to cut down the numbers

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel their monthly budget seemed excessive.
..."At a Mission City Council meeting on Wednesday, Councilmember Debbie Kring said she had received an email request to donate to Unleashed that same day.
“The reason I’m bringing this up, I don’t know how many other people in this city got that, but there’s a potential turmoil there,” Kring said. “We kind of need to be careful about people responding to financial support for this entity that seems to be having some problems right now.”

That's why we always chip and neuter our pets (and we adopt from shelters). Plenty of animals out there who need homes.
