Pet adoptions have soared during the pandemic. But now, shelters report overcrowding… And the Kansas City Pet Project is no exception. This year, they are set to break records in how many pets they have received in a single year.
On Friday, KC Pet Project announced they have received more than 450 dogs and cats in a 10-day span. This is adding to an already full shelter for most of the summer. They recently took more than 20 cats out of a home. Organizers with KC Pet Project says they are seeing more owner surrenders than they have ever seen before. That is up 50 percent over last year.
