Rikki was abandoned and I adopted her from an individual that found her and listed her on Find A Pet last December. She acclimated very quickly and has had the run of the house since. She's about 3 years old, not sure exactly. She needs a fenced in yard or plenty of room to run; she's energetic and loves to play inside and outside. Rikki responds to numerous words/commands and is leash walked.

Story
Hi friends! My name is Willy. I'm a border collie mix of sorts and quite handsome if I do say so myself. I'm a bit of a special dog, a real shy guy, but if someone would just give me a chance I will make a great companion. I love other dogs, as long as they're friendly, and I absolutely must go to a home with another friendly dog or two to show me I'm in a safe place. We all need some reassurance sometimes, right? I also need a fenced yard. Whoever my new owner is will need to be able to give me lots of time and space to feel comfortable with them. I'm a really good boy, I'm crate trained and house broken, but until I get used to you I'm gonna need you to keep your paws to yourself. I promise it's not personal, and you'll see I'm worth the wait! Willy is neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. He's located at The Pet Connection Sanctuary in Beloit, KS, but transportation to the right home may be available. To learn more about Willy please contact The Pet Connection by call or text- 913-671-PETS (7387).

Story
Bear is a fun loving, high energy pup! He is so friendly and loving. I live in an apartment and work 12 hour days so cannot give him the time he deserves. He is extremely intelligent, can sit and shake, play fetch (sort of lol) He will come with kennel, toys, food, leashes and treats. He genuinely just needs to have a person who loves the outdoors or a family with space for him to play and run. He is a good boy and deserves to have a good home that can give him the attention he needs! Will also come with 3 months of the simparico treatment

Story
Sully was rescued from euthanasia and came to us scared and unsure. Slowly, he is gaining confidence and enjoying his foster home, building a relationship with foster mom. Sully is initiating play and enjoys sun bathing with his foster brother. He is around 1 year and is likely mixed with border collie. He recently showed us he loves the water! We are so glad to be able to give him a second chance at life with the right person! If you are interested in a chow mix with good social skills, Sully is the boy for you!

Story
Approx. DOB:  3/14/24                                 Current Weight(as of 8/2/24. 20pds Adoption Fee: $250 includes 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness. Wally was dumped in a small town along with his sister. He is a happy and joyful pup and loves to play.    Wally has some medical issues with his back and hind leg. Radiographs showed a lumbar vertebral malformation.  He will need to be on joint supplements for life.  He also experienced a seizure and it is possible he could have more but at this time only one has been witnessed by his foster. Wally's medical issues DO NOT slow him down,  He acts like a normal puppy, playful, loving and a zest for life! He can outlast any puppy when playing,  running outside or inside.  He loves every dog and person he meets.  He is a sweetheart who craves human touch and love. He is crate trained but not fully housebroken yet.  He really needs someone that has more time to really work with him on this. He is a smart little guy and is a people pleaser so that really helps him learn new skills.  We were working on the sit command but it seems like he has a hard time getting his rump in the right position to accomplish the command. Give this little guy a chance! Just fill out that application to meet him to fall in love.  At our adoption events at the Lee Summit Petco he is our star.  Always loving on every new person he meets there and then rolling on his back to get belly rubs.  He is a real ham.  Puppies are NOT housebroken and should not be expected to wait more than 1 hour for each month of age to go out to potty. Please make sure that you have a “potty plan” in place if considering adoption. All of our puppies have been spay/neuter, wormed, microchipped, and given age appropriate vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of them just fill out a application at www.furrykidsrefuge.org, click on the 'Adopt A Dog' icon and a dedicated volunteer will be in touch.  Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.  You can drop off donations at our weekly adoption events at the Lee's Summit Petco (1860 NW Chipman Road, Lee's Summit, MO), Saturdays only from 11am to 2:00 p.m.  Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.  Would you like to foster a Furry Kid? Furry Kids' Refuge will supply the food & vet care while you supply the basic house rules & love.......win-win for all!!  Just visit our website http://www.furrykidsrefuge.org/category/fostering/  for more information. Thanks for your support!

Story
DOB:  12/7/19                         Approx Weight: 38 Lbs, Adoption Fee: $200 includes 1 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness. Cody is a Border Collie/Australian Cattle dog mix and is almost five years old. A very loyal dog, he is also very smart, and he wants to please his people (he does have a goofy side too). He went through D.O.G. Obedience training in September, and knows sit, down, come, stay, place, and spin. He is housebroken, and also crate trained but is very good when left alone having the run of the house. Being a Border Collie mix, he is also very active and needs an owner to work/play with him often. He loves walks and gets along well with other dogs. However, he is anxious around new people and because of his anxiety, he tends to nip at new people. We had a behaviorist/trainer work with him a few months ago and she indicated that he is not aggressive and is adoptable. This is her recommendation: Cody - Nice dog! a little anxious but a super smart dog that wants to please, needs a strong confident home and handler that gives him clear and consistent direction. Having a consistent routine and a lot of constructive exercise will help with the built up energy that creates anxiety.  Reading his body language and understanding what you are seeing is extremely important, stay calm, don’t yell,  step in and redirect when you see ears forward, eyes making a hard stare and stiff body posture. Give a small verbal correction and move him to break the eye contact. Don’t let him give a hard stare! Ask people not to make direct eye contact, don’t move in on him fast, allow him to go to the people and the people not come at him directly and come over the top of him to pet, they can step to his side, allow him to sniff and get attention if he wants - respect the dog Work on teaching the “Look” command - make sure he is making contact with you when you mark and reward the behavior- if you need to lure him into looking at you, take the treat from his nose to yours- make a straight line - stand normal when doing this do not bend down to his level.  Keep working on fun productive training sessions through the day to work him mentally Management of his behavior is a must, keep him on his leash whenever new people are around. I feel an activity where he can use mental and physical energy would be a great idea. He’s a very smart dog! He will need an experienced home that understands body language, is active and has the time and commitment level to put into his behavior for sure (emphasis added).  His foster has been working on his anxiety and he’s met new people. After offering him a treat, they were able to pet him and he calmed down. One person even sat on the ground with him after petting him for several minutes and he loved it. I found this in an article about Border Collies: Border Collies are often praised for their intelligence and work ethic but are also incredibly sensitive to their surroundings and human emotions. These dogs form strong bonds with their owners and quickly pick up on emotional cues, making them responsive and intuitive companions. Border Collies can become stressed in chaotic environments, so they thrive in homes where they can enjoy structured activities and mental stimulation. He should have a fenced in backyard because he really likes to explore and run round. He would be a wonderful addition to a home where he can thrive and be active. Please, no homes with small children . Cody was adopted as a puppy from Furry Kids' Refuge and was returned for npping a family member. Due to the family having active children and a busy household he was returned. Cody has been neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative and vaccinated. If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of them just fill out a application at www.furrykidsrefuge.org, click on the 'Adopt A Dog' icon and a dedicated volunteer will be in touch.  Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.  You can drop off donations at our weekly adoption events at the Lee's Summit Petco (1860 NW Chipman Road, Lee's Summit, MO), Saturdays only from 11am to 2:00 p.m.  Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.  Would you like to foster a Furry Kid? Furry Kids' Refuge will supply the food & vet care while you supply the basic house rules & love.......win-win for all!!  Just visit our website http://www.furrykidsrefuge.org/category/fostering/  for more information. Thanks for your support!
