Elaine is a super sweet dog. She’s calm and quite shy when you first meet her. When she warms up, she is an affection, energetic, attention-seeking dog that wants to be the center of your attention. She loves pets and snuggling with you on the couch. Elaine has been trained at some point in the past. She will sit when you put a leash on her. It can take a few tries at first, and when there`s a camera around, but she does know basic commands. While on leash, she tends to walk on your left, and will frequently look up to you for direction.
The great news is that she is completely indifferent to our cat! When the cat came out from hiding, Elaine completely ignored her. She didn`t even approach him or sniff. She wasn`t curious at all.
Elaine approaches both sides of our bed at night, wanting to climb in bed with us. We give her some ear scratches and gently tell her `No` and she sweetly goes and gets comfortable on a dog bed and goes to sleep.
Speaking of sleep, she sleeps through the night. She hasn`t had any accidents except the first night she was here, and I think I missed her signal. She goes to the door when she wants to go out.
She doesn`t bark at all! The closest she`s come, and only noise we`ve heard at all was a little crying when my husband put her in the bedroom with me so he could give our cat some alone time with him. Elaine has become quite taken with him and wants to always be next to him on the couch or in his lap so the cat is missing his snuggle time.
Elaine needs a home where someone will be with her. She will not do well if left alone or in a kennel all day. She can be left for a few hours without trouble. She hasn`t taken anything off the counters and she hasn`t chewed anything in the house that she shouldn`t. She definitely loves her people, but it`s not over the top exuberant or knock- you- down energetic. She could probably do very well with even smaller kids because of how gentle she is. (Oh, and takes treats oh-so-gently!)
Elaine is living in a foster home. If you would like to meet her please email foster@kcpetproject.org

Elaine is living in a foster home. If you would like to meet her please email foster@kcpetproject.org
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
