Elvira is 4 years old and weighs 41.5 pounds, which under the 50 pound limit for some housing restrictions. She came in as a stray so we don`t know about her past. Elvira attends playgroups and is walked by volunteers. She has been described as affectionate and has a constant wagging tail.
She recently went on a break from the shelter. This is what they said about their fun day: `Elvira is a curious, energetic dog. She has a wrinkly, expressive face and one ear that flops adorably. She rode well in the car to my house. We played around in the backyard, where she wanted to sniff and check out everything, with her tail wagging. She wasn`t interested in the rubber bone or rubber ball I threw for her, but she did go after a tennis ball. She would run back to me periodically to make sure I was paying attention to her. Elvira listened well; she responded to `sit` and `off` and `come.` Apparently, she is used to being on the couch because when we went back inside, she jumped up and made herself comfortable. We took two walks. The first one was just around the block to see how she did on the leash. She tugged a bit, especially every time a squirrel crossed her path and especially when she spotted a cat. But she responded when I called her back to the sidewalk out of the yard. We crossed the street when another dogwalker went by. Elvira was curious and whined a bit, but she didn`t bark or pitch a fit. As a matter of fact, she didn`t bark at all during our 4-hour visit. She whined a bit at the window when a dog would go by, but she was easily distracted by a toy. Elvira spent quite a bit of time chewing on an extra-strong toy as she laid on a dog bed. She would come over to sit by my recliner occasionally and put her paws on the arm rest for petting. She tried to join me in the recliner, but I told her no and she was okay with that. I called Elvira my shadow because she only left my side when there was something to investigate, then she quickly returned. She didn`t take her eyes off me even when she was relaxing on the dog bed after playing with the toys. Elvira was good in the car, not anxious at all. She quickly lapped up a Starbucks pup cup on our way back to the shelter. Elvira is a sweetheart and I hope someone takes her home soon!`
She has been spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Come meet Elvira today!

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
