Eight Kansas City animal shelters drop prices for Mega Match weekend

The event, sponsored by PetCo Love and Bobs from Sketchers, has been a massive success in past years, leading to hundreds of adoptions across the Kansas City area.
Many local shelters have been extremely over-capacity recently. Back in September, KC Pet Project told FOX4 it had more than 100 dogs over its ideal capacity with 40-60 new dogs coming in each day.
Earlier this summer, KC Pet Project also started “Waived Fee Wednesdays.” However, it only applies to dogs weighing more than 20 pounds who are at least six months old.
