This soft, skinny girl with the soulful eyes is Blair. Animal Control rescued her, quite literally. This petite pup somehow got her foot stuck in a train track! We don`t know her history or how she ended up in that predicament, but we are happy she is safe now. She is understandably a bit scared and shy at the noisy shelter. She has a sweet disposition. She is only 35 lbs. At approximately 3 years old, she isn`t getting any bigger. She does need to put on some weight, so feel free to spoil her with treats while training! She takes her treats gently. In play groups she has been tolerant of other dogs and will need to meet future fur siblings before going home. Blair (foster mom calls her `Blair bear`) lives with a doggie foster brother and a cat foster sister. She gets along great with everyone! She is very affectionate and playful, she loves to be near her humans. She still has some puppy energy and gets the best zoomies! Her foster brother is 15 so she respects when he doesn`t want to play and tries very hard to be gentle around him. If she insists on trying to play, and her foster brother is not into it, she is very easy to redirect. Blair is curious about the cat but doesn`t chase her and generally just leaves her alone. She`s easy on the leash with minimal pulling, and very treat motivated. She also loves her toys, especially tennis balls, and loves playing fetch in her foster mom`s backyard. She loves riding in the car and sits very politely in the back seat. She loves to stick her head out the window. She is most likely potty trained, as she kept a very clean kennel at the shelter, and has only had 2 accidents in the time she`s been with her foster mom. When foster mom is at work, she stays in the extra bedroom with her kennel and dog bed. Foster momma leaves the kennel door open so she can sleep in it if she chooses. She has been left in that room for up to 9 hours while foster momma is at work with no accidents. In a previous home she played well with an 8 year old child but did would do better in a home without infants and toddlers. Blair is living in a foster home. To meet her please email foster@kcpetproject.org Blair is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.

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
