My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ginny is currently in a foster home enjoying herself with both dog and cat siblings. She thinks a foster home is an improvement from the shelter, but what she`d really like is a furever home where she can settle in and let it all hang out. When Ginny came to the shelter as a stray, she had the beginnings of an embedded collar and two cherry eyes that impacted her vision. After medical care, including two surgeries, she is ready to move on with her life.

Because life wasn`t so kind early on, Ginny is a bit shy and has some `stranger danger.` She may do best in a low traffic home where there aren`t a lot of visitors. And she`d like an adopter who will take things slower with her and continue to grow her confidence. Once you are in the club, Ginny loves her people fiercely and shows her sweet and playful personality. Since Ginny has come to stay, her foster reports that she`s never lonely in the bathroom. She follows you around the house so closely, you think she`s gone elsewhere, but really it is just that you can’t even see her when you look over your shoulder because she’s directly on your heels. She`s also let us in on the secret that she`s a smart girl who has learned skills like shake and down somewhere along the way. She`s a great work from home office companion. Plus, after a slow introduction, she has taken to her foster dog siblings and loves to play with them. As for the foster cat fur siblings, she`s interested in them and would probably play well with them too it they were remotely interested, but let`s face it, they are cats and more interested in themselves.

Ginny is around 1 year old and is the perfect medium-sized pup at 40lbs. Ginny is great on a leash, and she is both crate and house trained.
She is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped.

Since Ginny is living in a foster home, please email Angie at asplittgerber@gmail.com to meet her.

Her ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED! We want all our dogs to have homes as quickly as possible. In an effort to help dogs with longer stays, those who are deteriorating in the shelter environment, or who are harder to place find homes more quickly, the adoption fee for this dog has been waived.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
