Meet our little Swiss Miss! She's the perfect package of sweet with just a little bit of spice to keep things interesting! Swiss Miss is a young lady filled with lots of love to share! Within just a few minutes of meeting you, Swiss Miss will insist on being your new best friend. A requirement of being besties with her is mandatory lap snuggles and hugs! While she has perfected the art of cuddling she is still on the hunt to find the best nap spot in the house. So far, the best spots include a pile of pillows or a cozy nest of blankets to curl up in! When she is not snoozing the day away, Swiss Miss loves a round of fetch in the backyard or a nice squeaky toy to chase. Swiss Miss is also on a mission to prove she has the brains to match her beauty! Swiss Miss is housetrained, knows how to sit, is excellent at learning routines, and no puzzle feeder can stump her!
While Swiss Miss is full of confidence when it comes to meeting new people she hasn't quite gained the same amount of confidence about the world around her. We have been gradually learning that everything is not as scary as it seems. So far we have learned window blinds aren't that bad but guitars, pooper scoopers, ironing boards, and step stools are indeed very scary. With a little time and patience, Swiss Miss will learn that she is safe and that it's not so bad out here in the big world.
Swiss Miss cannot wait to find her forever family who will give her all the love and cuddles! She wouldn't even mind having a four-legged bestie to spend her day with. I mean who can really say no to that precious underbite!
If you would like more info or to meet her, please email dogfoster@kcpetproject.org
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.

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
