My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

A SECURE FENCED YARD IS REQUIRED

Meet our friend Carl. He is a joy! He’s four years old, quite athletic, loving and affectionate. He is definitely a people dog but seems to love being around other dogs. We have witnessed him with cats and he seems unaffected. Carl was also comfortable when the grandchildren (6, 11) visited.

He kennels well at night and during the day while we are at work. He is completely house trained. He loves belly rubs and would really like to sleep cuddled on the bed with the rest of our pack.

Being athletic, he’s quite the jumper and counter surfer. He’s taught us to put things away and not leave food on the counter. Carl has responded well when I tell him, “out of the kitchen,” but he has a mischievous streak. He’s learning fetch, likes squeaky toys and is really a smart fellow. He rarely barks, but when he does, it’s with authority. He needs more practice walking on a leash, but he’s improving. He’s a strong boy, so hang on!

Carl will thrive in an active household where he has people who have time for him. He’s going to need a six-foot fence because he loves to jump! He can jump high enough to see over our six-foot fence to check out the neighbors.

Wherever he finds his forever home, those who share it with him are going to be very lucky to have him.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require a secure fenced yard, Our adoptions begin with the completion and submission of an Adoption Application. We do have an On Line Application available on our website: www.kcsheltierescue.org. Completion of an application does not commit you to an adoption, but does start the process. Be sure to fill the application in completely to avoid processing delays. Once we receive your application, it will be processed. We do process applications in the order in which they are received, but reserve the right to select the family that is the best suited for each particular dog's dispositions and needs. We will check your fence and your references, contact your vet reference/s and contact you. Please take time to walk your fence line. Check the height from the ground up in the lowest area, check for gaps at the ground, between posts that meet, posts at the house or buildings, gaps around the gates, and at the ground, broken, loose or missing pickets, and wood or brush piles against the fence. Most fence issues are easily dealt with, so please take the time to beef up areas of your fence you find that are not secure. This will help get your fence approved and save time.
