Mutts and Movies is a fun-filled outdoor movie night hosted by the Pet Resource Center of Kansas City to celebrate our anniversary and raise critical funds for life-saving veterinary care.

Held at the iconic Boulevard Drive-In Theatre, the event brings together pet lovers, local vendors, and rescue groups for an evening of community, entertainment, and support for animals in need.

From 6–8 PM, we’ll kick things off with an Animal WelFair—a lively showcase of booths, games, and activities. After brief announcements, the double feature movie night will begin ~8:30 PM under the stars: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed!

This is a fundraising event, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly toward supporting our mission: keeping pets healthy, safe, and with the families who love them.
