Shortcake went on a Dog Day Out and here’s what our volunteer has to say about the day: “Shortcake aka Cutie Pie aka Little Miss Cutie Patootie!! She is so sweet and absolutely adorable. It’s the cutest thing ever when you sit down on the floor to give her pets and watch her penguin charge you to be loved on. She likes to be held and picked up like a baby! She likes to play, cuddle, and eat burgers from Culver’s on frequent occasions. Shortcake, I promise from personal experience, will melt your heart from the moment you meet her!”
Adopt her at our main shelter!

Kirra, a 10-year-old musician, received $200 in tips while playing for over 3 hours at River Market. Instead of buying a new guitar, she decided that the tips needed to go to help the pets at KC Pet Project. We are so grateful for her generosity and during her tour of the shelter, we could tell she has a passion for animals.
Check out her Youtube channel to hear her amazing voice. This girl is going places! @KirraAlexisMusic

Kansas City Wins! We are back again with our season-long partnership with Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle, Derrick Nnadi.

Wilson is a 6-year-old Pit Bull that is enjoying life in his prime. He knows to sit for treats and loves a good game of Tug of War with his favorite rope toy. He recently went on a Dog Day Out with one of our KC Pet Project volunteers. The volunteer says that he is always eager to jump in the car for an adventure. You can bring Wilson home for free thanks to #91, Derrick Nnadi.

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!
