? Dog Foster ? Hello. My name is Cookie and I am about 6.5 years old. I have been waiting for over 5 months now to meet my new family after my mom passed away suddenly. I was really scared when I came to the shelter- so many new smells and noises. Luckily for me, I was put in a nice quiet home called a `foster`. There`s a nice lady who calls herself my `foster mom`. I`m not sure what that means, but I know she is the lady who feeds me every day and introduced me to something called `walks`. I LOVE WALKS! I love to sniff and smell so at first I pulled on the leash a lot, but my foster mom puts something around my nose and now I walk right next to her. She still let`s me enjoy all the smells and crunch through the leaves, but instead of calling me a `Crazy Cookie`, now I`m a `good girl`. I have a foster brother named Griffin, who has been easy to get along with. Sometimes, I wish he would play with me, but his mom says he has something called `arthritis` and `can`t see well`. I was a little wary of strangers when I first got here, but my foster mom says I`m doing much better. I have this thing called a `dog walker`. At first I wasn`t too sure about her, but now, I am SO excited when she visits. Did I also mention she gives me lots of yummy treats and has taught me a few tricks? I still don`t like strangers coming near the house, but if I see them with my foster mom, then i know its okay and I`m excited to greet them. My foster mom keeps telling me my future family is out there. She said something called `Christmas ` is coming up, and maybe that will help me find my new mom and dad. I hope they have a back yard and will take me for walks like my foster mom does, because I just love it so much. Also, I`m curious about this thing called snow? Have you heard about it? Supposedly I will probably like running around and jumping in it.
If you`re interested in meeting me and maybe putting my face on your next family Christmas card, please email foster@kcpetproject.org about meeting me in person. I would love to get my butt scratched! We want our longer stay dogs to find a forever home quickly, so her ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED!

Thanks so much for considering adoption! At KC Pet Project we have no blanket rules. Our goal is to find the pet that is right for YOUR family. The adoption process takes about an hour and does not require you filling out any paperwork ahead of time – you’ll do that once you’ve met someone and decide it’s a good fit. If you have another dog at home, we would like to have a supervised introduction with your pet(s) and our pet. Details about the introduction process can be found below.
You can view all of our adoptable dogs online at – we update their availability and location in real time. If you see them, they are still available for adoption. When you click on their photo it will show their location. There is no appointment needed to visit our pets.
You can visit any of our three locations seven days a week and find a pet that you’re interested in, or meet someone in foster at a mutually agreed upon location. We will have you fill some things out and then go through an adoption interview with a staff member. If all goes well, we’ll send you home with them that day. They’ll have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, have age appropriate vaccines, have been heartworm tested, and have received intestinal dewormer.
Small dogs, puppies, and specialty breeds go quickly here at KC Pet Project. If your schedule allows, you are encouraged to visit our dogs here at the shelter, as we often times have these dogs but they are on stray hold. If you see a pet you are interested in but they are not currently available, you have the option of putting down an Early Bird hold. The EB hold is $50 and $25 of it is a non-refundable donation to us that gives you first right of adoption if the dog is not reclaimed, and the other $25 is deducted from the dog’s adoption fee.
All of our adopters are expected to have a proper leash and collar for their dogs or a carrier to take home cats, which can be found in the retail section of any of our locations. If you live in Kansas City, MO, you should also expect to purchase a city license tag for $12 – this is something you’ll renew each year upon vaccinating your pet.
If you need to introduce your pet(s) to our pet: We recommend visiting an animal first to make sure that it is a good candidate for your home, and so that you have free hands. If you decide you would like to proceed with a meet and greet, please bring your dog to the location where your adoption candidate lives and staff will assist you. If visiting the main shelter, please do not bring your dog into the kennel area. Instead, have someone you trust hold onto your dog and notify a staff member that you are here for the introduction, or you can leave them in your car if it is weather appropriate. KCPP staff will let your dog and our dog drag a leash and greet each other naturally, without you present so that the introduction can be as objective as possible. Please plan on separating your newly adopted dog from your current dog on your drive home (in a kennel, for example), unless you have assistance.
Adoption Fees:
Adult mixed breed dogs: $75-150
Small breed dogs and puppies: $150-300
Cats: $25-$75
Kittens: $50 – $125
