Who is ready to give these handsome brothers a new home? KC and Kit Kat have been with KC Pet Project since February and when they came in, they were very scared of the world. Our staff and volunteers have been working with them every day, and now they greet you with head butts and purrs when you go up to their kennel. They are FeLV positive which means they need to be your only kitties or they can live with other positive cats in your home. Come meet these adorable bonded cats today and let’s share them to get these two the home that they deserve.

We are obsessed with this unique story of bonding from a KC Pet Project foster parent. "I'm an elegant, sleek, gold-eyed mama kitty by the name of Mrs. Robinson. I had four darling kittens who got adopted and I was all alone. My foster mom came home with an orphaned kitten who was found wandering lost and alone on Wornall. Her name is Brown-Eyed Girl and she's a sweet/sassy tortie! I nursed her when she cried and now we're simply the best of friends. We totally entertain each other but we're also more than happy if you want to pet us and play with us. We truly are a bonded pair and we're available for adoption TODAY. And, MY ADOPTION FEE IS PAID FOR! Please give us a home where we can be together <3"

Kansas City Wins! The Chiefs just cannot be stopped and neither can our season-long partnership with Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Tackle, Derrick Nnadi!
This week, Derrick will be sponsoring the adoption fee of Anjo. Anjo is a 6-year-old Pit Bull mix that is always eager for a walk and knows to sit for treats.

For every Chiefs win this season, Derrick will be paying for the adoption fee of a featured dog in our shelter. Keep an eye on our social media pages to see which dog will be sponsored by @dnnadi next!

Norio got to go on a Dog Day Out yesterday and here’s how his awesome day went: “Norio and I broke out of the shelter yesterday and he hitched a ride to the park to enjoy the sunny, breezy weather. Once we arrived at the park, Norio was eager to get our day together started. We began with a couple of laps around a pond, enjoying the sights and sounds of the city along the way. Although Norio is under 2 years old and has some playful / puppy energy, he was an absolute gentleman on the leash. He walked at my pace the whole way and glanced back every so often to check on me. The only time that Norio tugged on his leash is when we were at the waters edge. I think this boy wanted to go for a swim!
As the day wore on, the temperature began to rise and we sought a cool, shady spot. We meandered down a tree-covered path and found a small clearing. I sat down on a bench and Norio climbed up and leaned on to me hoping for some scratches. Norio and I relaxed in the grove for some time, while he enjoyed a behind-the-ear massage and some treats for being such a good boy. Norio took treats gently throughout our time together — such a gentlemen at his young age!
Norio also soaked in the sunshine and played with his rope toy in the grass for a bit. This goofy boy kept rolling onto his back and holding the toy over his head with his paws. After he played for a little while, we decided to relax in my air conditioned vehicle and Norio enjoyed a frozen treat before heading back to the shelter. What a great way to end a beautiful, warm, sunny day.

Norio is a handsome, young pitbull mix. He is goofy, playful and curious, but also gentle and affectionate. He will to lean into you to receive optimum pets and scratches. A few of Norio’s favorite things are toys (any kind), treats and booty scratches. He is also great on the leash and takes treats gently.” Adopt Norio at our main shelter today. 💕#kcppdogdayout

From a KCPP Volunteer about her Dog Day Out today with Angel Baby Princess:

This is what a Doggie Day Out means to shelter dog. ❤️ A DDO can be simple: fresh air, sunshine and shady spot to lay in cool grass. Here, you can practically see the moment that Angel sighed and relished in the freedom of just simply being a dog with no worries. Adopt her at our Zona Rosa location today!

It’s a beautiful morning here at KC Pet a Project and our playgroups are very busy today. We do playgroups every day at the shelter and our goal is to get every single available dog out to play. We’d love to have more volunteers to help us run dogs to the yards so they can get exercise, plus it’s a great work out program for the humans too! If you’d like to get involved, head to our website at www.kcpetproject.org/volunteer to get started.
