Chain of Hope Giving Hope to abused and forgotten animals in KCMO’s urban core. Proud 501(c)(3) rescue.

Chain of Hope is a grass roots, boots-on-the-ground, outreach organization that provides essential items for survival to neglected and abused cats and dogs in the urban core of Kansas City. We also provide education to pet owners, referrals for spay/neutering, and in some cases, a place in a rescue group so an animal can find a loving indoor forever home.

Hope for the Holidays — Thank You

We set a big goal this season: $50,000 for Hope for the Holidays.

Because of you, we raised $41,941 — and that is a huge achievement for our rescue.

We are incredibly proud of this work and the impact it represents.

Every dollar you donate to Chain of Hope goes directly toward:
🐾 Medical care for outreach animals and those already in our rescue
🐾 Spay & neuter services to create real, long-term change for the future
🐾 The direct costs of running our rescue so we can continue showing up where we’re needed most

Our administrative costs are just 5% — meaning the overwhelming majority of your support goes straight to the animals who depend on us.

This isn’t just a number. Its surgeries completed, pain relieved, lives saved, and futures changed.

Thank you for believing in us, standing beside us, and helping us continue this work. We couldn’t do it without you — and we are so proud of what we’re accomplishing together.

Providing Warmth for the Animals!

We have been busy delivering dog houses, straw, kennels, and cat houses. Many people and animals need our help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity so that we are able to get these necessary supplies to the animals that need them. Here are just a few of our recent visits. There will be more to come, we just don't have time to write them all these days! Stay warm!

Medical Foster Needed for Sweet Baby

Meet Baby — a gentle, loving soul who has never met a stranger.

Baby is about 7 years old and needs a medical foster while we figure out the next steps in her care. We know she has at least one torn ACL, and she’ll be getting X-rays on Friday to learn more.

Despite being in pain, Baby’s heart is pure gold:
🐾 Loves everyone she meets
🐾 Great with cats and dogs
🐾 House trained
🐾 Calm and affectionate

Right now, Baby needs a home where she can rest and heal — no playing, no roughhousing. A foster with little to no stairs is ideal to keep her safe and comfortable.

If you can open your heart and home to Baby during this time, you’d be giving her the comfort and stability she truly deserves.

Many people expect immediate perfection, but rescue dogs need time to settle in. The 3-3-3 Rule is important: about 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine, and 3 months to truly feel safe. Welcoming a dog into your home means committing to patience and understanding. Early confusion or fear isn’t a failure — it’s part of the process and a chance to show them consistency and care.

I helped these ladies out with supplies for their animals. We’d helped them out previously, including paying for a vet visit recently for her two dogs who were scratching themselves horribly. Michelle told me she wanted me to come back the next day because she was making banana bread and she wanted me to have a loaf to show her appreciation. That sounded great to me!

The next day, I stopped by. She told me that the banana bread was almost ready to come out of the oven! She went inside to get it.

Many minutes passed by. Michelle and her roommate finally came out and they were laughing hysterically! Michelle said, “Well, we didn’t do something right because it’s all kind of a big blob!” I started laughing too. She was so apologetic and I told her not to worry about it and thanked her for the gesture, that it was kind of her to want to do that for me. They went in the house. I was getting situated back in my van when they came running out with a banana and gave it to me! They said, “At least you can have this!” and they were just laughing about the whole thing! Great ladies who love their animals! Have a great day everyone!

This holiday season, Kiwi, our six month old FIP warrior, needs your help. She has fought a serious illness for 83 days and just finished treatment last week. But recently, she suddenly lost her vision.

Right now Kiwi is scared and confused, and her foster is giving her all the love and care she can. We don’t yet know what’s causing this or what treatment she may need next, but we know she needs us.

As part of our Hope for the Holidays campaign, we are raising funds to cover Kiwi’s urgent medical care and support her foster while she gets the love and care she deserves. Every donation helps Kiwi get a chance at a happy, healthy life and gives hope to animals like her in our community.

This holiday season, you can be the reason Kiwi and other pets get the care they need.
