Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.   Meet Suzi, a charming black and white Border Collie mix, weighing around 40 lbs. She's a true people lover, always ready for affection and cuddles. Suzi enjoys a variety of things and activities such as playing tug, soft squeaky toys, going on walks, frozen peanut butter filled kongs, hard chews, licky mats, snuffle mats, dog puzzles, soft foam dog beds (and maybe a fuzzy one for her head), belly rubs, and giving kisses. She's potty trained and kennel trained, though she'd rather be by your side. Suzi has a bit of a prey drive, so she's not suited for homes with small animals. Suzi would be best with an easy going, playful dog or fine as a solo dog.  She will need proper introduction to other dogs. She's actively learning commands and tricks (sit, lie down, come, wait, here, get it, give it, leave it, place, here, spin, twirl, touch, hide, roll over, crawl and catch) and is eager to please for treats or toys. Suzi is intelligent, inquisitive, and knows when to relax. If you're seeking a Border Collie's intelligence, beauty, and loyalty without the high energy, Suzi is your ideal match. She requires a fenced yard and someone knowledgeable about her breed. She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Suzi is currently in foster care in Manhattan, KS.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 9, 2025, 11:12 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.   Alexa (nicknamed Roo) is ready to find her forever family! She and her brother, Ziggy, went from strays to squatters (at a very nice, caring farm) to temporary foster care to their current residence in long-term foster homes. During this time, she experienced what we assume to be many “firsts” for her - vet visits, walks on a leash, baths, car rides, and crating, just to name a few. She is a very sweet and playful girl who is eager to learn. Some of the things Alexa has been enjoying in her foster home: training, toys, walks, rides, playing with her foster sister, and being outside.  She is well-behaved in the house but prefers to spend more time outdoors than indoors. Alexa is working on her leash manners and crate training. She has not been cat or kid tested. She is shy/timid when meeting new people, which is understandable given her history as a stray. Once she gets comfortable with you, though, she will be your best buddy. She has no problem initiating playtime at home, is always excited to see her foster mom, and likes to cuddle up on the couch at night when she’s burned off her energy. Alexa enjoys being busy (whether that be mental or physical stimulation), so an active home with a yard and another younger, playful dog would be best. She may also be a good candidate for dog sports with her energy level and eagerness to learn. Alexa would benefit from a home with Border Collie experience as she does possess many traits of this breed. She is still learning what it’s like to be a “dog” but has come so far already! Her forever family will need to be patient and willing to help her build confidence and be comfortable in her new home. This sweet girl has lots of potential and so much love to give! If you think you are the right family for her, fill out an application on our website. Alexa is being fostered in the Ames, IA area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 7, 2024, 9:01 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.   Coming soon!!  Anderson is not ready for adoption just yet. Hi I am Anderson, a blue Merle Border Collie boy, about 9 mos old. I was rescued from a hoarding situation, and am looking for a quiet, loving, patient home. I LOVE other dogs, especially a nice, playful, confident buddy to help show me the ropes of a life with people and a house. I haven’t had a lot of experience with humans but starting to like my foster home. It takes me lots of time to warm up, and very importantly that I can go at my own pace, as I learn about people. I am starting to enjoy pets, and seek attention from my foster mom, she is my safe person. I enjoy belly rubs and extending my paw for attention. I can be in the same room with a few strangers, and happily chew a bone, or play with one of my favorite toys. I am doing well with slow introduction to new people. Foster mom says I need experienced owners with the breed, and how to work with a shy and fearful dog. I need my humans to go slow and have patience with me as I learn about the world. I need positive and gentle training only, so that I can gain confidence and be a happy dog in my family. I would be best in a home without children. I am kennel trained, it is my “safe” spot, and I sleep there at night and when foster mom is away. I am learning to take treats from my foster family, and love hanging out with them chewing a bone while they watch TV. I LOVE running in the backyard, and zooming after a ball, and I love all toys!! I love my foster sister, she shows me that strange things are safe, giving me lots of the confidence that I need. I want a dog like her in my new forever home! I am interested in cats, and I can probably live with one that is good with dogs. I am ready to search for my forever home, could that be you? I’ll be waiting! Love, and woofs, Anderson Anderson is ready for adoption to the right home. His new family must have experience with training a shy and fearful dogs. He will need another confident, and playful dog to show him the goodness of life with humans.  Love, patience, and positive training, will in turn, reward you with the love from this wonderful boy! Anderson is being fostered in the Newton, KS area.Click here to watch a video of Anderson.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 28, 2024, 4:42 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.   COMING SOON! Coming Soon!  Lucy will be available mid-February. If you are interested in a medium to high energy, food and play motivated, loving, smart, goofy pup, look no further than Lucy!  This 6 month old mini Aussie (best guess) is a delight and will bring joy and laughter into your home.  She is currently being fostered on a sheep farm and enjoys watching, and sometimes trying to herd, the sheep.  Lucy loves to play with her people and her favorite resident dog, 10 year old Dan.  She will need lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation, several times a day.  She and Dan run zoomies in the backyard and never seem to get enough.  She is great on a leash, so walks will be fun.  Lucy really enjoys her toys, whether her people are playing fetch or tug, or she is simply playing with them on her own.  She is great about focusing on toys and is not destructive.  Lucy likes puzzle toys, although is able to solve them quickly.  The most recent toy, a two-tier puzzle, said it would take the dog several tries to master it and to start with just one tier.  Lucy had both tiers solved in under a minute.  No challenge at all.  This pup also loves to jump!  Over logs, furniture, other dogs, she will fly over anything.  With her intelligence and athleticism, she would make a super agility or fly ball dog.  Lucy also has a nice off switch, being able to hang out quietly with a toy or cuddle up for a nap.  She sleeps through the night with no disruptions.  Lucy loves adventures and people.   She has made friends with people at the local feed store and farm store, prancing in like she owns the world.  Visitors to the farm are greeted with much enthusiasm.  Lucy rides nicely in the truck, so road trips are a definite possibility for this little one. She is kennel trained, but it is not her favorite pastime.  Lucy would really like her own pack of older, considerate kids, eight and up, and a companion dog.   Because of her natural herding instinct, she may try to herd and nip at very small children.  She is housebroken, and a quick learner.  Lucy has fairly good recall, although may need coaxing to come inside if she feels she still has go power.  Lucy has not been cat tested, but given the way she accepts correction from the other dogs, she will probably be polite to a cat who gives her a good swat on the nose. Lucy’s words:  joy, happiness, intelligent, energetic, sweet, cuddly, silly, goofy, obedient, funny, PERFECT! Lucy is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Click here to watch a video of Lucy (2024).Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2025, 3:46 pm

Story
Sky is a shy but sweet girl. Once she warms up to you, she'll be your friend for life! In her previous home, she lived with kids ages 2-19, another dog and did well with all of them. She would enjoy a low traffic household as new people are kind of scary.
