Beauties and Beasts

What Beauties and Beasts does

Beauties and Beasts, Inc. is a state-licensed 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization founded in 2014 and headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The organization rescues "Death Row" animals from local shelters and places them in foster homes or its private ~50-dog boarding facility in Haysville, without discrimination by breed, age, medical condition, or behavior. It routinely cares for 300-350 animals at any given time, including dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and small animals such as guinea pigs, and has participated in major cruelty and puppy mill seizures in partnership with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, the Humane Society of the United States, and Kingman County authorities.

The organization is 100% volunteer-run with no paid staff, operating through a network of approximately 300 volunteers, foster families, recurring donors, and community partners. It has no proprietary technology; its operational stack consists of a WordPress-style website, Google Forms for adoption/foster/volunteer intake, and PayPal/ACH for donation processing. Marketing relies on organic Facebook activity, local news coverage (KAKE, KSN, KWCH, WIBW), and recurring events including the Ball Crawl pub crawl, Bikers For Bullies Poker Run, Woofing For Love adoption events, and Pups and Pucks at Wichita Thunder hockey games.

The revenue model is built almost entirely on donations (one-time, monthly recurring tiers of $5-$100, and legacy/planned giving), supplemented by modest adoption fees ($25 guinea pigs, $30 cats, $275 puppies with a $75 refundable deposit for unaltered animals), a $25 volunteer application fee, event-based fundraising, and a small online merchandise store. Geographically constrained to Kansas (foster families must reside in-state), the organization has no disclosed institutional funders beyond a single $4,375 grant from Maddie's Fund in March 2023, and recently terminated its decade-long rescue partnership with the Wichita Animal Shelter and Kansas Humane Society.
