KCDA is a community of concerned pet owners united in the pursuit of political, legislative and education initiatives that improve the lives of pets and ensure the rights responsible pet owners.   

 KCDA seldom comes out with full endorsements of candidates -- but every now and then we do make an exception. Dennis Wait's has done more for the animals in our community that just about any other politician in recent history.  In the past, Denny has secured county funds for Spay Neuter Kansas City.  Recently, he has spearheaded the efforts to fund the new, state-of-the-art, shelter in Independence, MO, slated to break ground this fall.  It is imperative that Dennis is re-elected to ensure the original vision for the shelter comes to fruition.  This shelter is a major step toward a No Kill Metro by 2012. We realize that there are many political issues that will cause people to vote for particular candidates, but if animal welfare issues are a primary concern, Denny is as good as it gets.
