Yesterday we had a giant save. We typically don’t pick up cats but, we couldn’t turn our backs on them. It was not a safe situation. They went straight to foster where they are decompressing. If you are a RESCUE that can intake one of these litters, please let us know. 2 mamas with 10 kittens (5-10 day old, 5-1 month old) We also wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who emailed quiktrip gift cards!! We are using them everyday to ice down our outreach dogs.
Refreshing Ice Water on a Very Hot Day!
Erica and I were out all afternoon yesterday, taking ice to outside dogs. Heat index of 104 degrees! Trying to cool these outside only babies down. They loved it!
When you are celebrating your freedom today, please keep in mind those that have none. Please continue to stick up for your neighborhood pets and advocate for them from the rooftops. Their owners need to be held accountable, along with the governing agents that should be watching over them. Thank you to our supporters from the bottoms of our hearts. When we have to leave these guys behind for hopefully another day, your support is what keeps us going!
During these hot days of summer, we celebrate our wins and the dogs that we were able to save from dying on the chain. Tomorrow will be dangerously hot again, so please keep an eye on your neighborhood pets and elderly humans.
Kevin is a special guy. The reason why we exist. We fought and FOUGHT for him, and he made it out. Sometimes being on a chain affects dogs in a ways we can’t say. They are broken and sometimes can’t come back that. Kev kept his spirit high and is such a forgiving pup. He is ready to find his forever family. He is a biiiiig boy who loves dogs, kids, people, attention. He loves to play and sploot. He is special. Adopt Kevin here: https://chainofhopekc.org/adoptable-dogs/adoption-application/
Chain of Hope is celebrating May 4th at the KC Collector Expo with R2-KT, @Brentwoodsideart, @KansasCityR2Builders, @SaberGuild. May the 4th be with you.

Who is hanging out at our shelter this week? ALMOST all of these dogs are available for adoption! Check them out on our Petfinder 🤩
Lonnie out here puttin in the WORK!
We love what we do on outreach! The hard days are hard but, the good days are GOOD. We are proud of what we do, we are thankful to our supporters for allowing us to continue our hard work. The animals of KC absolutely need us.
Everyone is so excited for tomorrow! We hope to see you there!
We are thankful to the man that called this old man into us. We were able to get him picked up and safely over the shelter. We know that he was not in good health, could barely stand, and was most likely deaf. He was also very aggressive. We know that he would have died behind that building cold and alone. We are thankful he is warm and has a full belly!
It’s the little things around here 🐾
We have 2 special guests this week at the shelter! Moraine and Perrin. Moraine is deaf and Perrin is deaf and blind. They are both acclimating to their new room and yard while also having a new playmate, Holly! All 3 of these babies are available for adoption. Perrin is needing a VERY special and understanding forever home to help with the challenges he will face while learning the ropes. All 3 would do great in a home with animals!
What rescued looks like ❤️
Sherlock went to foster and within minutes was taking advantage of his new yard. Fostering not only gets a dog out of the shelter but it allows a spot to open up for another dog in need. It’s saving 2 lives with 1 act.
