We’re excited to announce that Kona—the sweet and beautiful foster dog from Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary—won the international round of the 2025 Pooch Playoffs. To learn more about Kona or to adopt, visit AlwaysAndFurever.org.
Everyone is invited to join us for a celebration of this year’s Pooch Playoffs at Bar K on Kansas City’s river front on Sunday, April 13 at 2 pm. If this is your first visit to Bar K, speed up your entry by completing the Guest Entry form under the Plan Your Visit tab at BarKDogBar.com. All human guests have free entry to Bar K. Without a membership, your first dog costs $16 on weekends and each additional dog is $5. If you don’t think your dog would enjoy the dog park environment, please come without them and enjoy food, beverages, and the infectious energy of dogs at play.
We’ll hand out prizes to our Final Four pups and crown the champion. Phillip won but graciously abdicated his crown for Kona to represent our region, a wonderful example of saving each other. Melissa and Jon Hill, Phillip’s adopters, shared his story on Dog Words last year.
