When Parsnip came to the The Humane Society in August, he had a broken leg.“Parsnip is a sweet little pup,” Sydney Mollentine, president and CEO of The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City said in October. “He’s been in our foster care for about eight weeks to get that broken leg healed. And as you can tell, he has no problems running around and working on that leg.”

Nnadi said Parsnip just needed to focus.“You will see one little squirrel, he gone. He sees a little toy, he gone. He sees multiple people, he’s gone,” said Nnadi, who likes to refer to Parsnip as Parsnickety. “But the second we get that laser focus, he’s gonna be phenomenal.”“Puppy Bowl” is recorded in advance. Since its filming, Parsnip has been adopted, Mollentine said. The pup is now 7 months old.

Nnadi has been working for a few years to help get dogs into loving homes in the area by paying fees for more than 500 successful adoptions so far. He has partnered with organizations including The Humane Society and KC Pet Project.“I think it’s very important for a lot of these dogs that don’t really see or have an opportunity to have a forever home,” Nnadi said.

Nnadi said his work with animal shelters began when he adopted his first dog, Rocky.

“He was a very timid dog. A lot of things I was not really fond of how his living arrangements was were. He wasn’t around that many people with dark lighting and everything,” Nnadi said. “It’s just made me really kind of empathize how kind of a lot of dogs go through it and their life trying to survive.”“He’s just been emblematic of what a leader should be, by his habits and by the way he brings himself every day,” Carroll said. “He’s the first guy out here, he’s the last guy to leave.”

Meyers noted that time commitment as well.“By having Geno, it kind of brings a sense of stability,” Meyers said. “He knows what he’s doing. He shows up the same every day, his personality stays the same every day. I haven’t seen him have a bad day yet. So I can’t have bad days if the leader has no bad days.”
