13 February 2023

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Super Bowl LVII victory isn’t just a big win for the Kansas City Chiefs; it’s also a big win for dogs at the KC Pet Project. 

To celebrate the Chiefs’ win, Kansas City defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi is paying the adoption fees for all dogs at the shelter. 

Nnadi is partnering with pet food supplier ZIWI to sponsor all 264 dogs currently waiting to be adopted. ZIWI will also provide swag bags for each dog to take with them to their forever home.

Nnadi first began covering adoption fees at the shelter during the 2019-20 season. When the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020, he sponsored the fees of every dog in the shelter, helping more than 100 pets get adopted.
