Why rural animal shelters?
Rural animal shelters lack the support that big city shelters receive, yet they are the heroes for their community's shelter pets.
At On A Mission KC, we aim to educate, inspire and advocate for rural animal shelters leading a helping hand- practically and financially- when we can. Through our advocacy and training programs, we invest time, money, and resources to change the lives of homeless pets and their heroes.
