The Kankakee County Humane Foundation (KCHF) is a 501(c) (3) non- profit organization animal shelter.
Since 1963 the Foundation has rescued unwanted, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats in the Kankakee County area.

KCHF is a community focused organization serving animals in need since 1963.

The Foundation is entirely dependent on memberships and private donations and does not receive any tax revenue or public funds.

KCHF adopts out our animals to safe, loving, and caring homes through an application and screening process. The Foundation supports responsible pet ownership by performing background checks, validating personal and veterinary references listed on adoption applications. 

Upcoming events.

We have several fundraisers and adoption events coming up! Keep an eye on our calendar and join us in making a difference in the lives of animals in our community.
