Adopt Elmer! Mascot of the Match Presented by FunkAway

This season, KC Current is teaming up with local animal shelters in support of pet adoptions. In partnership with FunkAway, the club has launched the Mascot of the Match campaign, spotlighting one local animal ready for adoption for each home and away match of the regular season.

The Mascot of the Match for KC Current vs. NC Courage this Sunday is Elmer, of Great Plains SPCA.

Adopt Elmer

Elmer the empath--that’s this boy in a nutshell. Elmer seems to have a sixth sense for people’s emotions and knows just how to cheer someone up. Feeling down? Elmer will fix that with a few kisses and hugs! Angry or upset? Elmer will make you forget all about that with his goofy personality! He is full of love and energy, and it is almost impossible to not smile when you're with him. Elmer is as smart as a whip and knows all your basic commands. He is also dog and cat friendly if you already have a beloved pet at home. His adoption family will receive gift bags from KC Current and FunkAway as part of the sponsorship.

Elmer is currently housed at Great Plains SPCA. As an independent 501(c)(3) no kill shelter, with a 98% live release rate, GPSPCA provides lifesaving services for approximately 4,000 animals annually in the greater Kansas City area. Great Plains SPCA exists because of our caring Kansas City community and generous donors.
