We are ecstatic to share these pictures of 33 cats going to rescue today to start their new lives! Thank you Michele Slawson for sponsoring this venture, Thank you Kansas City Pet Project, volunteers and wonderful driver for
​making this possible!#IChoseToRescue #sheltercats
Can you believe we have over 60 big dogs waiting for their very own family?

With the holidays quickly approaching, we want to find a forever home for every one of these big dogs. We want them to celebrate with their new family; help put up the tree and experience the joy of having their very own home, with laughter and love.

If you're not ready to adopt, would you consider sponsoring the adoption fee of one of the amazing big dogs that just needs a little extra help standing out? It's only $70, but can be a priceless gift to a sweet dog waiting to be chosen. You can give these sponsorships as gifts as well. We will send a very special holiday card to your chosen friend or family member and post a picture of your sponsored pet with their new family when they get adopted.
​
If you can't sponsor or adopt right now, please share this post with all your friends and family. We can get these dogs a home if we all work together and spread the word!

Check out our "Vintage Dogs"

Everyone loves “The Good Old Days”…..well, we love “the Good  Old Dogs”….the VINTAGE DOGS!!  Vintage Dogs are not necessarily OLD dogs, Vintage Dogs are amazing  dogs of all ages currently in our shelter that have been waiting a long time to find the right home. 

Imagine how  sad  it must be for them, watching their doggy friends come and go, seeing other dogs getting picked by  families, while they sit waiting.  Vintage Dogs just wait, hoping that maybe today a family will stop at their kennel and choose them.

Vintage Dogs will be available to approved homes FREE!  All Vintage Dogs will be altered, current on all vaccines including rabies, micro-chipped, de-wormed AND treated for fleas and ticks.   Don’t miss this opportunity to adopt your new best friend FOR FREE and help a dog who surely believes that he or she has been forgotten.  Today is they day that YOU can change their life!

Community support through sponsorship is critical in allowing us to continue the Vintage Dog Program. Please consider sponsoring a Vintage Dog for only $50.  Your donation will go a long way in helping us keep this wonderful, life-saving program going.
