Long-Term Shelter Pet Spotlight Application
Every shelter pet deserves to be seen, especially those who've waited the longest. At On A Mission KC, we shine a spotlight on these resilient dogs—often overlooked and housed in rural shelters—through creative campaigns, community partnerships, and heartfelt storytelling. By giving "the dogs at the end of the row" their moment, we help them become household names and increase their chances of finding forever homes.
If your shelter has a long-term resident in need of extra visibility, we're here to help. Whether it's through promotional features, social media highlights, or in-person visits, we're dedicated to ensuring every pet has a voice and a chance for a loving home.
Submit an application today for a long-term dog needing a little extra attention.
Emergency Medical Care for Shelter Pets
Unexpected medical emergencies can put shelter pets—and the shelters that care for them—at risk. That’s where we come in.
Our Emergency Medical Care program helps animal shelters cover the costs of urgent veterinary treatment, so no dog is left behind due to budget limitations. Whether it’s surgery, diagnostics, or critical care, we want to help shelters keep their pets safe, healthy, and on the path to adoption.
If your shelter is facing a medical crisis with a dog in your care, please apply below. We review every case with compassion and urgency—because every dog deserves a fighting chance.
