We are hoping to resume receiving new applications for the program in the near future and recommend looking into other options for your pets.

Foster homes are needed to support the Home Away from Home program. Please sign up today!
The purpose of the Home Away from Home program is to provide temporary care for pets to reunite them with their families following a crisis.
KC Pet Project cannot guarantee placement for accepted applications within our program, despite our best efforts. As Kansas City’s municipal shelter, placement for pets enrolled in this program depends solely on the availability, skills, and willingness of our approved foster homes.
Fostering is what keeps this program alive! Without our incredible Home Away from Home fosters, owned pets would be turned away from the program entirely. We are currently in desperate need for additional Home Away from Home fosters. This program is an incredible opportunity for first-time fosters to get a taste of what fostering is like or for experienced fosters who want to try something new! To sign up to foster for Home Away from Home, please visit the sign up page.
