Kansas City residents now have an even better reason for doing the right thing by licensing their pets. Now that the non-profit Kansas City Pet Project is working hard to move Kansas City’s animal shelter (formerly operated by animal control) toward a no-kill goal, 100 percent of pet license fees go directly toward funding the Kansas City Pet Project and the animal shelter. Visit the Animal Health and Public Safety Division’s site at www.kcmo.org for licensing information.
Included with the license is the new “Free Ride Home” program, in which animal control officers return licensed pets to their home at no charge the first time if the animals are lost or loose. One hopes pet owners who had hesitated to license their dogs and cats because the money didn’t go toward helping homeless animals will now reconsider.
Licensing dogs and cats in Kansas City ensures not only that lost pet will be returned to owners, but also that Kansas City Pet Project receives the funding it needs to successfully make Kansas City’s animal shelter a more welcoming and humane place for pets and people.
