☀️ FREE DOG POOLS FOR ANIMAL SHELTERS! 🐶💦

Please help us spread the word to shelters and rescue organizations!

My incredible friends at Westlake Ace Hardware have once again stepped up in a HUGE way by donating dog pools to help shelter dogs stay cool during the brutal summer heat. ❤️

This is the first of many reminder posts, because we want every shelter to have a chance to participate. Please make plans now to send a staff member or volunteer to pick up your pools on June 5th.

⚠️ Important Reminder:
These pools will be available on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis, and quantities are limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Every summer, these pools bring so much joy and relief to dogs spending their days in shelters. Watching them splash around, cool off, and just be dogs for a little while is something special. 🐾

Thank you again to Westlake Ace Hardware for continuing to support shelter animals year after year. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

Let’s keep these pups cool and comfortable this summer! ☀️🐕💦

🚨 Kendrick is still waiting… and honestly, we can’t understand why. 💔

Kendrick arrived at the shelter as a stray on 4/21, and somehow this sweet boy continues to get overlooked. Day after day, he watches people pass by his kennel while he patiently waits for someone to finally notice him.

And the truth is… Kendrick is an absolute LOVE BUG. 🐾

He’s full of tail wags, loves attention, enjoys toys and treats, and has slowly started coming out of his shell. What was once a shy and uncertain dog is turning into a playful, affectionate companion who simply wants someone to love him back.

Kendrick also attends playgroups with other shelter dogs and enjoys spending time with his doggie friends. Watching him gain confidence has been such a beautiful thing. ❤️

He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations… meaning he’s ready to leave shelter life behind and finally start his next chapter.

Please help us change Kendrick’s story. Share this post, tag a friend, or better yet… come meet him yourself.

If you would like more information or want to be Kendrick’s hero, please contact KC Pet Project 🐶

It’s Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, and I just want to take a moment to thank every single vet nurse out there for the incredible work you do every day. 🩺🐾

You are the calm voice in the chaos.The comforting hand during heartbreak.The late-night caretaker.The advocate for animals who cannot speak for themselves.

You celebrate the happy endings, carry the weight of the difficult ones, and somehow still show up the next day with compassion in your heart and kindness in your voice.

Most people will never fully understand the emotional toll that comes with this profession. The long hours. The exhaustion. The tears behind closed doors. The constant fight to save lives while comforting worried families.

But please know this:What you do matters more than words can explain.

Animals feel your love.Families remember your kindness.And so many pets are alive today because you refused to give up on them.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for choosing a career built on compassion, even on the hardest days. The animal world is better because of you. 💙

Kendrick has been waiting for someone to notice him since 4/21… and honestly, we can’t figure out why. 💔

This big, handsome guy came into the shelter as a stray, and somehow he continues to be overlooked. Meanwhile, every day he sits patiently hoping the next person walking by might finally be his person.

Kendrick is a giant love bug with a tail that never seems to stop wagging. He loves pets, toys, treats, and simply being around people. When he first arrived, he was pretty shy and unsure of the world around him, but little by little he’s started coming out of his shell and showing everyone what a sweet soul he truly is. 🐾

He also attends playgroups at the shelter and enjoys spending time with his doggie friends. Watching him relax, play, and just be a dog outside of his kennel is something special.

The shelter is loud. Stressful. Exhausting. And while Kendrick keeps hanging on with hope in his heart, what he really deserves is a couch, a family, a yard, and someone who will love him forever.

Please help us change Kendrick’s story by sharing this post. His future family may only be one share away. ❤️

Kendrick is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

🚨 84 DAYS HOMELESS 🚨

This sweet girl’s name is Sukka… and for nearly three months, she has been waiting at North Kansas City Animal Shelter for someone to finally choose her. 💔

Sukka is a 6-year-old pit bull mix with so much love left to give. She’s the kind of dog who leans in for hugs, wants to be close to her people, and just longs for a calm, safe place to call home.

Right now, Sukka is heartworm positive and currently on the slow-kill injection treatment plan. The good news is her treatment has already been fully paid for, and she’s doing very well. She simply needs a family willing to continue loving her through the healing process.

Because Sukka would do best as the only pet in the home, finding the right fit has been difficult. She can also live with children ages 7 and older. What she truly needs is patience, understanding, and someone willing to see beyond the labels and give her the second chance she deserves.

Imagine spending 84 days watching other dogs leave while you stay behind wondering when it will finally be your turn.

Sukka deserves soft beds.She deserves peaceful nights.She deserves to feel safe.Most importantly… she deserves to feel loved again. 🩷

Please share Sukka and help us find the forever family this beautiful girl has been waiting for. 🐾

For more information about Sukka, please contact North Kansas City Animal Shelter at 816-274-6024.

🚨 KITTEN SEASON EMERGENCY DONATION DRIVE 🚨🐾🍼

Kansas City… we need your help for the tiniest lives in our community. 💔

Since April 1st, our friends at KC Pet Project have sent:
🐱 118 bottle baby kittens into foster care
🐾 510 total kittens and cats into foster homes

And kitten season is only getting started.

Right now, 72% of the foster pets leaving the shelter will need at least FOUR WEEKS of care before they are healthy and old enough for adoption. Foster families are working around the clock feeding newborn kittens every few hours, keeping them warm, medicated, clean, and alive.

But supplies are running dangerously low.

Current urgent needs include:
🍼 Nursing bottles
🐱 Playpens
🚗 Cat carriers
🥣 Royal Canin Mother & Baby Cat dry food
🍗 Ge**er chicken baby food

https://a.co/0hGO8dwe

At this moment, there are fewer than 10 nursing bottles left and only SIX playpens remaining. 😞

Every single donated item helps save lives. Every bottle fed, every warm bed, every safe carrier gives these vulnerable kittens a chance to survive and eventually find loving homes.

If you would like to help, items can be purchased directly from the Amazon Kitten Wishlist and shipped straight to the shelter:

Shipping Address:

Please share this post, donate if you can, and help us rally around Kansas City’s tiniest homeless pets during the busiest time of the year. 🐾💙

With travel on pause for now, we’re feeling called back to our roots. ❤️🐾

Right now, there are dogs and cats sitting in shelters across Kansas City and surrounding rural communities who have been waiting not just weeks, but months — even years — for someone to choose them. Every day they wait is another day without a home, without stability, and without the love they deserve.

We want to focus on helping the longest-term shelter dogs and cats finally get the second chance they’ve been holding onto hope for.

If you volunteer, foster, or work with a shelter or rescue, please share your candidate in the comments along with their length of stay and a little about them. We’re looking for the pets who’ve been overlooked, passed by, forgotten, or are slowly losing hope after waiting far too long for someone to finally say “yes.”

Big city shelter. Small town shelter. Rural rescue. We want to hear about them all — especially the ones people keep scrolling past.

We’ll use every platform we have to tell their stories, advocate for them, and help them find the forever homes or foster families they desperately need. One share, one foster, one adoption can completely change — and even save — a life.

So Kansas City and surrounding communities… who’s still waiting? 🐶🐱

Please make sure the shelter or rescue has approved you to submit their pet.

There’s a special kind of heartbreak that comes with loving a dog. We know from the very beginning that our time with them will never feel long enough… and somehow they still teach us more about love, loyalty, forgiveness, and joy than most people ever could. 🐾

So here’s your gentle reminder today:

Don’t spend so much time fearing the ending that you forget to fully live the moments happening right now.

Take the extra walk.
Throw the ball one more time.
Let them sleep beside you.
Take the photo.
Rub the ears.
Celebrate the gray around their muzzle.
Laugh at the messes.
Cherish the quiet moments.

Because to them, you are their entire world.

One day we would all give anything for just one more car ride, one more tail wag, one more look into those loving eyes. Until then… appreciate every single moment you have together. ❤️🐶

I love you, Leo

💔 Meet Aurelia. 💔

Aurelia is only 3.5 years old and should be spending her days curled up on a couch, going on walks, and soaking up love from a family of her own… instead, she’s sitting in a shelter kennel wondering why nobody has come for her yet.

And the heartbreaking part?

She’s SO happy to see people that she’s actually hurting herself.

Aurelia has what’s called “happy tail,” which means every time someone walks past her kennel, her entire body wiggles with excitement and her tail smacks against the kennel walls until it bleeds. 😔 Imagine loving humans so much that your happiness physically hurts you.

Despite everything, this girl remains incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of love.

During a recent Dog Day Out, Aurelia went walking and jogging on the Trolley Trail, relaxed perfectly on a restaurant patio, laid peacefully in the grass under a tree, and even tried to climb into her volunteer’s lap because she simply wanted to be close to someone. That’s the kind of dog she is. Loving. Loyal. Gentle-hearted.

She also:
🐾 Is fully vaccinated
🐾 Spayed
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Can go home with other dogs
🐾 Has her adoption fee WAIVED

Aurelia doesn’t need perfection. She just needs someone willing to give her stability, patience, guidance, and love.

Please share her story. Her person may not even know she exists yet.

If you’d like more information or want to schedule a meet and greet, please contact KC Pet Project.
