New Volunteer Video for KC Pet Project

Below is the new volunteer video was put together to promote our volunteer program at KC Pet Project.

The video was actually put together by a Kansas City group Agenda BE -- a KC area organization that is out encouraging Kansas Citians to be more active in local charities. I think their program is a great idea and I'm glad they chose us to be a part of it.

The video is a short 2 1/2 minute look at what it's like to be a volunteer at KC Pet Project. Would love to get your thoughts on the new video. I think we're going to get a lot of use out of it.

It's AMAZING!!! It makes me want to move there and volunteer. It's uplifting and it makes the shelter look NOT scary or depressing. I think this is nothing short of brilliant - from showcasing the shelter to the variety of animals to all the ways that the community can help! Love love love!

Thanks Jenn. If you ever decide to move here we would welcome you as a volunteer with open arms.

I love it and I think EVERY shelter needs to take this approach. No sad puppy eyes, no playing on people's emotions...just a good positive approach. Makes me wish I lived in KCMO!!!

Great job folks, really great job!!!

Good on ya all!!!

Really excellent job. Makes me want to reach out and pet the animals there. Great positive vibe and a feeling of movement and energy.

The photos and videos of your shelter always make it obvious how clean the animal care areas are -- the "we can't possibly keep up" claims from so many shelters ring hollow in comparison.

Congratulations.

Youtube also makes it easy for anyone to upload videos, clean it up, and add background music.

Very nice. Would have been perfect if it included contact information such as web url and phone number. Have you seen what Animal Farm Foundation did - the take off on Call Me, Maybe? It was on Facebook.

The condo I am buying has no rules about the number of pets you can have, so I am hoping to get back into fostering. The only breed restrictions - no wolf hybrids!

They did an excellent job. It's short and sweet and gets the intent across that the workers and volunteers care deeply for the animals that are under their supervision. I also took away from it the great need for society to adopt. And I agree with Karen, the shelter looks very clean. My city is in the process of building a new shelter, so I am very excited. They've been stressed at the seams for many years and the volunteers and staff are so dedicated with less than optimal circumstances.

Okay, I'm going to go and hug my shelter dogs and cats!

Thanks Jenn. I do want to note that this is a 40 year old shelter - we're definitely not in a new facility. While old shelters bring with them their own set of issues, cleanliness shouldn't necessarily be one of them.
