Long-Term Shelter Pet Spotlight Application

At On A Mission KC, we believe every shelter pet deserves their moment in the spotlight, especially the long-term residents who are so often overlooked. Through creative campaigns, community partnerships, and heartfelt storytelling, we work to bring attention to these resilient pets—"the dogs at the end of the row"—helping them become household names and giving them a greater chance at finding their forever families.

Are you a rural animal shelter with a long-term shelter dog who could benefit from extra visibility? We’d love to help! Submit an application below to share the dog's story with us. Whether it’s a promotional feature, social media highlights, or even an in-person visit, we’re dedicated to ensuring every pet has a voice and a chance for a loving home.

Emergency Medical Care for Rural Shelter Pets

On A Mission KC is dedicated to bringing hope to rural shelters and the pets in their care, especially when emergencies arise. We know that the unexpected costs of medical care can be overwhelming for rural shelters with limited resources. Our Emergency Medical Care Grant aims to provide financial relief for these shelters, ensuring that critical medical needs are met for pets who deserve a second chance.

As much as we’d love to help every pet in need, we focus our support on rural animal shelters. If your shelter has a pet requiring urgent medical attention but lacks the funds to cover the cost, this grant could be the support you need. Please apply below to let us know about your shelter pet’s case.

Every shelter pet deserves a fighting chance and a loving home. Together, let’s turn compassion into action for those who need it most.
