Volunteering at KCPP

Due to the impact of coronavirus, we are not accepting new volunteers at this time. Shelter tours for new volunteers will resume at a later date when it is safe to do so, and there will be high demand for these tours. We want to thank you for your desire to help the pets of our shelter. 

To help us during this time, you can sign up to be a foster and help us by sharing our adoptable pets. 

Volunteers are the heart of KC Pet Project and without their time, talents, and resources we would not be able to save the lives of over 10,000 animals each year. Whether you have a free day on the weekend or an occasional hour after work, there is a place for you at KC Pet Project. Join us today to help change an animal’s life forever.

The mission of the Volunteer Program at the Kansas City Pet Project is to provide a fulfilling experience to the volunteer, and provide necessary assistance to staff at KCPP. Volunteers are one of our most valuable resources! With your commitment and assistance we will work together to make the organization successful in promoting animal welfare, providing public education, and giving shelter animals some much needed love and attention!

• Must be able to purchase a volunteer t-shirt and wear it every time you volunteer.
