3rd Annual PicklePaw benefiting The Rescue Project

Last year we were able to raise over $12,000 for local pets in need in our community. But we still need your help! Please join us for our 3rd Annual PicklePaw tournament benefiting The Rescue Project!

Get ready for a day filled with fun, furry friends, and a whole lot of wagging tails. We are excited to bring together pet lovers from our community to support our furry friends in need.

The Rescue Project is the only 100% volunteer-run and foster-based rescue that focuses on community outreach, Trap Neuter Release (TNR) of feral cat communities, and offers community pet medical support to those in need. We are committed to helping abandoned, neglected and forgotten animals in the Kansas City metro. To learn more about our organization please visit our website.

This event will be a fantastic opportunity for you to connect with fellow animal enthusiasts while contributing to a great cause!
