Two year old Tatum is a shy girl just waiting for her forever family to come get her! She says she`s really easy to find - the very first kennel on the right at Zona Rosa. Sometimes she hangs out on her bed at the back of her kennel when she`s feeling shy, and you could overlook her, but don`t! Tatum is very sweet when she warms up. She has the cutest ears that can`t decide if they want to stand up or fold, so she has one of each.
Already have dogs at home? Like all our adult dogs, Tatum will need to meet future canine companions before going joining your pack. She is very timid and keeps to herself in playgroups, and would likely do best with a dog that isn`t too rowdy. Our shelter staff will lead their introductions in a safe environment to see if they are compatible. Tatum is currently at our Zona Rosa location. Come fall in love with her there, then arrange for your dogs to meet too.
She recently got a well-deserved break from the shelter on a Dog Day Out, and here is what they said: `Tatum is so sweet. She was a little shy of the car but with a treat and a booty push she climbed up in the back. She enjoyed the ride and did very well. We walked around our neighborhood and on a trail. She was pretty good on the leash and didn’t pull too much. We did pass a couple other dogs on our walk and she didn’t even bark. With her long leash we played fetch with her toys and she happily brought the toy back to be thrown again. We then went to Starbucks where she enjoyed a delicious pup cup in the car and then on to Petco to pick out a new toy. She is a little shy but so sweet and enjoys being pet and loved on by everyone.`
And another, `We picked up Tatum who was the absolute sweetest girl. She was a little nervous about getting in the car and needed some help but once she was in the car she relaxed and got comfy. Our first stop was a short walk and then brunch at Char Bar. She did great on her walk and barely pulled on the leash. While we ate lunch she was calm and said hi to people as they approached her but didn’t pull or try to get to other dogs/people. After brunch we had some play time on the longer leash and she got out some zoomies. Then we headed to Casual Animal for photos with Santa and the Grinch. She was so sweet to everyone who approached her and did not lunge/bark at the many other dogs in the building. Tatum is a sweet, loving, and well behaved dog. From our time together it seems she is not reactive to dogs or kids and loves

Shelter
This organization is committed to providing a positive adoption experience!
Learn more.
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
