Shining a light on dogs at the end of the row.
On A Mission KC shines a light on long-term shelter dogs—those waiting the longest and most overlooked—through bold advocacy, community connection, and hands-on support. We provide rural shelters with critical resources and empower their teams to build sustainable support, so every dog can be seen, loved, and adopted.
How We Shine a Light
Every long-term shelter dog deserves a loving home. At On A Mission KC, we bring forgotten pets out of the shadows and into the hearts of families—while providing rural shelters with the support they need to keep saving lives.

Advocating for Long-Term Shelter Dogs
We bring visibility to the dogs who wait the longest—the forgotten souls at the end of the row. Through bold campaigns like billboards, social media, and special promotions, we tell their stories and open new doors to loving homes.
-
Supporting Rural Animal Shelters
We stand alongside rural shelters, providing vital resources and urgent help. Beyond immediate aid, we teach shelter teams how to maximize the resources they already have and build a strong network of community connections—bringing lasting relief and sustainable support.
-
Providing Emergency Medical Care
When shelter pets face health crises, we step in. Our goal is to prevent any dog from losing their home or shelter placement due to high medical costs. We work tirelessly so no shelter pet is euthanized because of treatable medical issues—helping them heal, stay safe, and find loving homes.
