Adopt Rue, our Mascot of the Match!

This season, KC Current is teaming up with local animal shelters in support of pet adoptions. For the second year, the club presents the Mascot of the Match campaign, spotlighting one local animal ready for adoption.

The Mascot of the Match for KC Current vs. Orlando Pride on April 23 is Rue of Lucky 13 Rescue.

Adopt Rue

Rue is a two year old pup who loves to cuddle with his humans and play with other dogs. He was diagnosed with a condition called megaesophagus, which makes it difficult for him to digest his food unless he is sitting upright. Rue uses a custom-built chair, included with his adoption, to help him properly digest his food. He loves to play with chew toys and take long walks, but his favorite thing is to curl up on the couch and catch up on his favorite TV shows.

Rue is available for adoption through Lucky 13 Rescue, a foster-based dog rescue serving the KC metro and surrounding rural areas by providing medical care and foster placements/adoptions for homeless pets. In 2022, Lucky 13 took in 421 dogs, completed 374 adoptions, and provided $167,000 in vetting to dogs in need.

Rue will come with a custom-built chair to eat and will be fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on heartworm prevention. And most exciting, he will come with a 1-year membership to Bar K dog park. His adoption fee has been sponsored, so it is $0 with an approved application.
