Brittany Mahomes, an ardent animal lover, is actively supporting the KC Pet Project, which is currently overwhelmed with an influx of dogs. The Kansas City animal shelter revealed that it has taken in 93 dogs in the last five days, leaving only two open kennels. As of now, about 40 dogs remain in the shelter after some have already found homes, but the facility is operating at near full capacity.

To raise awareness, Brittany shared a video from KC Pet Project on her Instagram Story, highlighting the urgent need for adopters for the dogs in waiting. Her support for the shelter dates back several years; in January 2024, she visited with her children and brought donations for the animals. In November 2022, Brittany and Katie Kenton of Katie's Kennel delivered treats to the shelter's dogs, further demonstrating her commitment to animal welfare.
In September 2024, the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation collaborated with KC Pet Project for an adoption event aimed at addressing pet homelessness in the Kansas City area. This initiative offered reduced adoption fees for larger adult dogs and adult cats, receiving public thanks from the shelter for the Mahomes family's involvement. A month later, the foundation donated $10,000 to the KC Pet Project during its gala event.
KC Pet Project operates as an open-admission municipal shelter, unable to turn away homeless pets. The shelter typically sees 40 to 60 new animals each day and cares for over 16,000 annually. With the current surge of dogs, it is relying heavily on community support, adoptions, and fostering efforts to alleviate the pressure on its facilities. Brittany Mahomes' amplification of the shelter's message is seen as a crucial step in encouraging more people to adopt.
