Chefs Derrick Nnadi and KC Pet Project Host Adoption Special

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When the Chiefs win, the Kansas City Shelter Dogs win too.

Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi partners with KC Pet Project again to help dogs find their forever home.

After each Chiefs win, Nnadi plans to cover the cost of adopting a dog from KC Pet Project. ZIWI, an air-dried pet food company, will also provide food, treats and more for the pup and his new family.

Nnadi has covered adoption costs at the shelter since the 2019-20 season. He also paid all adoption fees for every dog ​​in the shelter after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

KC Pet Project said it uses the partnership as an added incentive for pet lovers to adopt dogs that have been at the shelter for a while, dogs with special needs and large dogs.

“It’s such a fun way to help animals find homes, and we’re thrilled to have this unique partnership opportunity with Derrick Nnadi and ZIWI again in 2022,” said Tori Fugate, Director of Communications at KC Pet Project.

The Chiefs’ first game is Sept. 11 against the Arizona Cardinals on the road. If they win, KC Pet Project will release the first Nnadi-sponsored dog after the game.
