Story
Meet Trail!
Trail is a handsome Border Collie mix with a bright future ahead of him—he just needs someone to give him a chance.
Trail has been waiting at the Chillicothe Animal Shelter for a family to call his own. During his stay, he was selected to participate in Missouri's Puppies for Parolees program, where shelter dogs receive obedience training, socialization, and valuable life skills while working with inmate trainers.
Because of the program, Trail has a great training foundation and is ready to continue learning with his future family.
Trail also does well with other dogs, making him a great candidate for a home with a canine companion or for someone looking to add another dog to the family.
After waiting patiently for someone to notice him, Trail is ready to leave shelter life behind and discover what it feels like to have a family of his own.
Could that family be yours?
Basics: He is a neutered male guessed to be around 1.5 yrs old and weighs close to 40lbs.
Adoption Process:
- STEP 1: Please fill out our adoption application: https://www.dayofthedogs.org/adoption-application
- One of our team members will get back to you via phone.
- Our dogs can be seen by appointment only. We do not have a facility at this time. Dogs are in foster homes or boarding
- Adoption fee of $200 helps to cover transport costs, spay/neuter, initial vaccines, rabies, fecal, initial worming, and microchip.
-We do not place holds on our dogs. Please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt. NOTE: We are very good about updating the pet's profiles once adopted. So no need to write us to ask "Is he/she still available?" If the post is up, the dog is still available.
About Day of the Dogs
Day of the Dogs is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping shelter and rescue dogs find safety, families, and second chances.
Founded in 2015 by a Kansas City native, Day of the Dogs began after Pam moved to Houston, Texas and witnessed firsthand the devastating shelter overcrowding crisis facing southern communities, where some shelters have only days to find an outcome for homeless pets.
Today, Day of the Dogs coordinates life-saving transports from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other southern areas to rescue partners, shelters, fosters, and adopters in Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City region — communities where adoption demand can help create better outcomes for pets in need. We also focus on long stay dogs in the Greater Kansas City and surrounding rural areas to help those pets get out of kennels and into homes.
We also facilitate direct adoptions through our foster networks in both Kansas City and Northwest Indiana and partner with shelters and rescue organizations across Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana to save more lives together.
Because every open foster home creates another opportunity to save a dog, we are always looking for foster families to join our mission.
Day of the Dogs operates entirely on donations. Every transport, veterinary appointment, supply purchase, and life saved is possible because of supporters who believe every dog deserves a chance.
