My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Honey, a 1-year-old sweetheart who`s still finding her footing in the big, noisy shelter. It’s all a little overwhelming right now—but we know with time, patience, and love, her true personality will shine bright.

Once Honey feels safe, her affectionate and playful side starts to bloom. She loves toys, adores cuddle time, and will happily soak up all the affection you can give. Tell her she’s a good girl or how cute she is, and you’ll be rewarded with the most heart-melting wiggle butt you’ve ever seen. She’s already showing off some great leash manners and is making wonderful progress each day. Honey just needs a family who’s willing to give her the time and reassurance she needs to fully settle in and thrive. We know the reward of watching her blossom will be worth every second.

Honey would love to meet any potential canine siblings! Our staff will carefully handle all dog-to-dog introductions at the shelter to ensure a great match. Feel free to bring your pup along when you come to meet her! She thinks cats are a little too interesting, so a feline-free home would be the perfect fit!

Honey was able to go on a Dog Day Out recently and here is what they had to say, `Honey was so SO sweet! She is most definitely more on the timid side, but I went at her pace. Started with sniffs and then got to know each other over a pup cup! Once she got comfortable she definitely loves being in your space. She loves to run and play but will follow you anywhere around the house. She loves the windows down in the car, belly rubs, back scratches, and will let you know with a paw on your arm when she’d like some pets. She has such a big heart but just needs time to trust (: She really is the sweetest girl!`

Honey can’t wait to find her forever family—come meet her today and see what a special girl she is!

Honey is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready for her forever home!

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
