Competition Brief
ProX is a Real World Learning initiative providing summer professional experiences for high school students.
About
Our employer is KC Pet Project, a nonprofit charitable organization operating the KC Campus for Animal Care, Kansas City, Missouri’s animal shelter. They care for more than 10,000 animals each year and focus on progressive programs to help people keep their pets through lost and found services, Keep ‘Em Together, KC program, and pet safety initiatives like microchipping, pet identification, and more.
Problem
Our goal is to reduce the count of dogs in the shelter and educate pet owners on pet handling and care.
Solution
We would like to make subscription boxes filled with materials, necessities, and information about how to train and care for your pet. We call it the K9 Care Kit. This is an effective way to help users and pets have a stable connection and prevent dogs from returning to the shelter or being stray.
Audience | Target Market
Dogs who arrive and are currently in the shelter.
Learning Outcomes | Community Impact
Our solution will have an impact on users now and in the future because it will be a type of awareness and healthy lifestyle for their pet.
Next Steps
Our next step for this mission to become a reality is buying the materials needed.
Reflection | Other Info
It has taught us about trial and error, as well as being innovative.
Resource | Support Needs
We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. The funding will make this into a real product for the shelter.

Hello! I love your idea. I know young people love cotton candy and to make a product that caters to children with allergies but still allows them to enjoy a sweet treat is fun, innovative and demonstrates and amazing level of creativity and empathy. Please keep up the amazing work.
