Story
Archie is a 3-year-old Border Collie who came to me as a stray, and I have had him for about two years. He is loving, affectionate, playful, intelligent, and very people-oriented. He loves meeting new friends, cuddling, fetch, walks, hikes, and especially training activities that make him feel like he has a job to do. He has completed extensive professional training, and his trainer is willing to provide a transition lesson with his new owners. Archie has done well with both large and small dogs and has a great balance of energy and calm. He can happily keep up with adventures and active play, but also settles easily at home. Like many herding breeds, he can become very focused on moving things such as cars, cats, and squirrels. I am looking for a loving, active home that will appreciate his intelligence, affection, and playful personality and continue providing exercise, structure, and engagement.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Courtesy PostCourtesy Post - see contact info at the bottom of the bio!!  Maverick is an almost 3-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix looking for a very special home. Maverick is a sweet, intelligent, playful, and loyal dog who loves his people and enjoys playing, learning, and spending time with those he trusts. He is house-trained, listens well to his owners, and has worked with a professional trainer to help him with his behavioral challenges. Maverick is also a fearful and reactive dog and finding the right environment for him is extremely important. He can become uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, young children, and movement coming toward him. When he is scared or overwhelmed, he may bark, growl, or try to create distance from the situation. Maverick’s family has a young child who is now 1 and becoming increasingly mobile. Because of Maverick’s sensitivity to movement and their home’s limited space, his family has had to keep him and their son separated and carefully manage their interactions. After working with a trainer and exploring different options, they believe Maverick would have a better quality of life in a home that is better suited to his needs. He enjoys car rides, loves playing in the back yard with his red/yellow ball, and puzzle toys (did we mention he’s so smart)?  He is good with other dogs after introductions.  Maverick is up to date on his vaccines and neutered. Maverick’s ideal home: Adult-only home with no young children Someone experienced with fearful or reactive dogs, or willing to work with a trainer on how to manage (he’ll pay you back with all the love! A calm, patient environment Ideally a house with a securely fenced yard for him to run and play Someone willing to continue working with him and give him time to build trust A home where he won’t be constantly exposed to large amounts of foot traffic, unfamiliar people, or overwhelming situations Maverick’s family is being completely transparent about his behavioral needs because their priority is finding him the right home, not simply finding him a home quickly. They love him very much and want to give him the opportunity to thrive in an environment where he feels safe and understood. Maverick’s recall is good and he listens well, but because of his fear and reactivity, his family does not trust him off-leash outside of a securely fenced area. If you think you may be a good fit for Maverick or would like more information, please contact his current owner: Ethan Weems (Owner) ethanweems32@gmail.com or 316-559-6030 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 21, 2026, 1:01 pm

Story
Clara has officially decided that her next chapter should contain three things: people, playtime, and an unreasonable amount of attention. Approx. 4yrs old, this girl is SUPER friendly, affectionate, & energetic. She loves her humans wholeheartedly and has absolutely no problem making sure you know when she would like more love. (Hint: it’s pretty much always.) Clara doesn’t mind cats, and she would love a dog sibling to run, play and hang out with. Without one, she’ll happily make YOU her best friend—and possibly her hobby. She’s still working on crate training and will need a family willing to be patient and continue helping her learn that being alone is safe. She’s made great progress as she’s settled into her new life. Clara is playful, goofy, incredibly loving and ready for a home where she can finally be somebody’s girl. Looking for a dog who will love you like it’s her full-time job? Clara is accepting applications. Apply at lucky13rescue.org Clara's adoption fee is $225 and includes vaccinations, dewormer, heartworm medication, microchip and spay surgery. Fill out an adoption application at lucky13rescue.org.

Story
Beatrix is her name, but her friends call her Bea. And much like Junie B. Jones, she’s sassy, hilarious, and a little strong-willed. 😉 Bea is a 55-pound, 1½-year-old Border Collie mix who was found roaming the streets last winter when she was just a young pup. Now she’s ready for a family of her own and she has plenty of personality to bring with her! Bea loves a good game of tug, is one of the most popular dogs at doggie daycare, and is quite the smarty-pants. She learns quickly and is SO fun to train! She’ll play fetch, join you for a run, or happily accept belly rubs on the couch - when I say accept, you don’t have much of a choice in the matter. 🤣 She bonds quickly with her people, and once you’re her person, you’ll have a little shadow following you around the house, eager to see what you’re doing and how she can join in. She’s also potty trained and kennel trained! Bea does have some stranger danger and a tendency to guard her people and home. Her breed traits and background likely play a role in that - she’s an observant, sensitive girl who sometimes feels like keeping watch is her job. She’s making progress every day and has come SO far compared to eight months ago, but she still needs management, continued training, and slow introductions to new people and dogs. Bea gets along with kids, too! A home with children would need to be very dog savvy, with adults who can reliably manage doors and visitors. Kids opening the door for a friend or accidentally letting someone unfamiliar inside could put Bea in a situation she isn’t ready to handle. Her ideal family will be experienced, patient, and willing to keep helping her feel safe. Free training is provided after adoption so her new family has support along the way! This athletic girl would love a tall, secure fence or room to explore safely on some land, along with opportunities to exercise her busy brain and body. Bea is longing to be part of a family. If you like your dogs smart, affectionate, and just a little sassy, she might be your girl. ❤️

These pups are in Independence, Missouri too!

Maverick is a sweet boy that likes car rides. He is a lap dog that is house trained. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home and needs a secure fence to enjoy a yard. One of his favorite treats is peanut butter. He also loves to play with his favorite toy..a jolly ball. Maverick is really smart and knows commands. He is neutered and current on vaccinations.

Milo is about 5 years old and we have had him since he was 8 weeks old. My husband and I work full time, so unfortunately he is in his kennel all day, everyday. We also do not have a yard for him to run around in to get his energy out. He deserves a family that has time to properly train him, take him on walks, and love on him during the day. He is great with kids and very energetic.

Story
Broody is a sweet, loyal boy who needs a loving home where someone can be there more. He’s about 8/9 years old. He is a very chill dog, but does get scared by lightning and fireworks. He is good with other dogs once properly introduced to them. He takes a minute to warm up to strangers, but once he knows you he just wants to be close to you. I am not home much and it breaks my heart that he and his sister are left alone for the majority of the day. I can no longer properly care for him and want him to go to a loving home.
