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
Oliver, our guest in board and train here at the Sanctuary, arrived just a few days ago. He's an adorable boy, and we're taking a few days to get to know him. Sadly, Oliver has gone through some traumatic events recently. His owner died suddenly and unexpectedly at a park with Oliver by his side; Oliver was left there and had to be retrieved later. Oliver was his owner’s whole world, and the family is now working with the Manhattan shelter to help find him an appropriate placement and new home. He is now with The Pet Connection, so he can decompress and get consistent handling. We know that Oliver is a sweet, gentle boy who loves his people. He enjoys taking walks and is reportedly good on leash. He would do best in a calm, adult home with no cats and no puppies. We also know that Oliver is part gazelle and can jump a short fence, so if your fence is only 4' tall, you'll need to walk him on leash for sure. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 if you can give Oliver the kind of home he needs. He'll reward you tenfold. He's staying in Beloit, Kansas, but transport is available to the right home.

Story
Phantom is a sweet lovable dog but very high energy! He got along very well with my other male and got attached to him. Unfortunately, we just don’t have the time to keep him busy like we’d like too as we both work very long hours. He is very treat motivated and learned the commands sit, lay down, and paw fairly quick. He is catching on to learning stay. We also have 2 cats in our house and at first he wasn’t sure about them but after some correction he gets along very well with my cats and tends to leave them alone. He loves going to daycare to let off steam and going to dog parks to run his laps. He is honestly very sweet and wants to please so he’d be perfect for someone willing to take the time to train him.

Story
Approx. DOB: 3/15/25                 Approx Weight: 35pds Adoption Fee:      includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Jimmy looks to be Border collie and Heeler mix but he could also have some Pointer also. It's all a guess. Jimmy is a really well behaved young boy. You might expect to find these breeds of dogs with a lot of boundless energy but he is a very neutral kind of boy. Loves to play with all sizes of dogs and loves to be around people without wanting to jump up on anyone. Jimmy is such a great size of dog. He would be great for most any family. He is a well behaved fella in the home. At the moment we don't know if he is housebroken because we are lacking on foster homes so he is staying in our small boarding facility. He keeps his area clean so hopefully that's a good sign. He has been neutered crated a couple of times and did great.     Jimmy is a really quiet boy. We have only heard him bark when a stranger approached. When other dogs are barking at everything in sight he just stays observant without the ruckus.  He has walked well on a leash for us and never tries to jump up on us. He keeps all 4 feet grounded. Fill out that app today to meet this gorgeous boy.    I have been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed and microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible. 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
Ike is a handsome cattle dog mix, who is looking for a forever home. This boy is naturally shy, taking a little time to warm up to new situations and people.However, once you`ve earned his trust, Ike reveals his wonderfully sweet side! He particularly enjoys playing with humans, offering a reserved but affectionate engagement that is truly rewarding. Whether it’s a soft game or a quiet cuddle, he cherishes that one-on-one time.When it comes to his canine peers, Ike prefers to keep his distance and would do best as an only dog or in a home with calm, respectful dogs who won`t push him to socialize.
