No opening hours are on record. Call at (913) 364-1822 or check its website before visiting; many shelters keep separate hours for adoptions, intake and lost-pet searches.
How do I adopt from Melissa's Second Chances?
Start on mscrescue.org, where most shelters and rescues list their adoptable animals and application form.

Can I surrender a pet to Melissa's Second Chances?
Call the shelter before you bring an animal in. Many shelters and most rescues take owner surrenders by appointment only, some charge a surrender fee, and some keep a waiting list. Ask whether they offer a rehoming program or pet food and vet assistance first; many surrenders can be avoided with short-term help. The municipal animal control shelter is usually required to accept animals from residents of its city or county.
