Story
Meet Radish! He is crate trained and enjoys his safe haven! He’s also completely potty trained, has never went in the house. He can be shy with new people but is becoming more brave! He knows sit and lay down. Working on come, stay, and leave it. He is very sweet but takes some time to warm up, so whoever has interest in him will need to be patient with him. Radish came from a hoarding situation with many other dogs, so he is learning to trust, and that life doesn’t have to be so scary. He is starting to enjoy cuddles and likes to give kisses. Once he’s warmed up he loves to play with his toys and likes to throw them in the air. He really likes toys that he can swing back and forth and loves chew. He hasn’t been around cats or children but does well with other dogs. If you would like to meet Radish, fill out an application on our website unchainedmelodies.org/adopt/ *All UMDR dogs are up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, spayed/neutered and microchipped *No Out of State Adoptions *No Invisible fences

Story
Meet Jake Jake is a 3 year old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love and a spirit built for adventure. Jake can be quite shy at first but he warms up quickly! At around 50 pounds, he’s the perfect mix of active and affectionate. He is also a protector, and an alert barker. Jake loves hard and attaches quickly to his person. Jake takes a few minutes to warm up to new people, but once he does, he’s gentle, affectionate, and loyal. This sweet, smart guy knows several commands including “sit,” “shake,” “come,” “sit up,” and “go lay down.” Jake walks beautifully on a leash, walks are truly his love language and 100% his favorite thing to do. He’s lived with a small dog in his foster home and is respectful when his play attempts are declined. He’s also been in another foster home with a medium sized dog he loves to play with and a cat whose boundaries he respects! We think the best home for Jake would be with a playful dog, possibly a cat friend and definitely would love to have a fenced yard and someone active that will walk him daily. If you’re looking for a faithful sidekick who will happily join you on life’s adventures and then snuggle up by your side at the end of the day, Jake might just be your perfect match. Apply to meet Jake! https://unchainedmelodies.org/adopt/ All UMDR dogs are up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, spayed/neutered and microchipped. *No Out of State Adoptions *No Apartment Living for this boy *No electric fencing

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.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)   Copper is a 5 year old, high energy 48 pound purebred border collie who recently lost the loving home he had since puppyhood. This gorgeous blue merle boy came into rescue and hasn’t looked back. His sweet sister, Charlie, is in a separate Mo-Kan foster home. Copper loves people of all ages, especially children. He is not good with cats. Copper was used to being an outdoor dog and is learning that there are different rules indoors. He is very puppylike: perpetually happy, curious, and runs everywhere instead of walking. Copper responds best to gentle touch and calmly delivered commands. He is a blank slate, and eager to please! He is crate trained and runs in preemptively to get a treat, which he takes treats very gently. “Copper, come!” appears to be his favorite command. He thinks he is a lap dog and is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up for it. Copper walks moderately well on a leash and is learning to stay to one side of his person. He enjoys outings to our local dog park for the people who pet him as much as the dogs he runs with. He is very skilled at reading and reacting appropriately to new dog friends and takes their feedback well. Copper would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Having been an outdoor dog after his first year of life, he is re-learning potty training. He is crated during the workday with a mid-day dogsitter break while his foster is at work and keeps his kennel clean. He loves being outside, running in a yard and wrestling with his 55 pound housemate, so a fenced yard and a dog companion are preferred. Copper is not good with cats and is hyper focused on chickens. A home without cats or caged small pets is a must. If he sounds like a great addition to your family, complete an adoption application on the Mo-Kan website. Copper is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 4, 2026, 9:58 am

He is a beautiful 4 yr old smooth coat, black and white Border Collie, about 50 lbs. After living with a family since a puppy, life changes brought him into Rescue. Sasuke absolutely adores his humans and wants to be wherever they are. He is a curious, sweet boy that loves meeting and interacting with people. He  has lived with small children in his previous home. Foster Dad had holiday parties, Sasuke was one of the official greeters. He eagerly hops in the car and travels well, up for any adventure. Sasuke loves all toys, squeaky stuffie, Gameboy, is the current favorite. He enjoys playing ball or frisbee in the yard, or picking up the largest stick for you to throw again and again. Sasuke really loves his foster brother and sister, playing endless chase games in the yard, and seriously on “watch patrol” trio if needed in the house. He likes all dogs that he has met, very social. He lived with a cat in his previous home. Sasuke I has a lot of energy and would enjoy an active person or loving family. He loves walks, may be a good running companion, hiking, camping, just being active with his people. He knows “sit, down, give, shake”, and has excellent recall. Sasuke does have a good “off” switch after daily play or adventure. He will happily join you on the couch, or bed for a cuddle, and snuggle, or curled up as a foot warmer. Does Sasuke sound like the perfect addition to your family? Complete an application to adopt, meet Sasuke @ MoKanBCRescue.org He is up to date on all vaccines, on Heartworm, flea and tick prevention, and neutered. He is crate trained and house broken.  Sasuke is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Click here to watch a video of Sasuke.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 12, 2026, 2:26 pm

One of her favorite pastimes is enthusiastically emptying the toy box, and she’s quite the talker, always ready to share her thoughts. A true social butterfly, Bunny loves all people and gets along well with other dogs. She hasn’t been cat tested yet. An adventurer at heart, Bunny enjoys car rides, pup cups, splashing in water, and going exploring. With her intelligence, athleticism, and drive, she would be an excellent candidate for agility or other dog sports and truly thrives when she has a job to do. Bunny has had basic obedience training and is crate trained, house trained, a good eater, and has a decent recall. Like most brilliant Border Collies, she will need continued obedience training, plenty of daily exercise, and consistent mental stimulation to stay happy and balanced—brain work is a must! She is highly motivated by food, toys, praise, and affection. Because of her exuberant energy level, Bunny would do best in a home with older children only. Bunny is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and ready to find an active, dog-savvy home that will embrace her energy, intelligence, and loving nature. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s always up for fun and adventure, Bunny may be your perfect match! Bunny is being fostered in the Holden, MO area.Click here to watch a video of Bunny.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 15, 2026, 8:17 pm
