Story

We adopted Ella at KC Pet Project in 2019. She is now 8 years old and is very playful. She was very skiddish when we first got her so she does not respond well to yelling or clapping out of frustration. I believe she needs to be in a single dog household. She is very cuddly and loves walks. She responds decent off leash and will come back if called. If professionally trained I’m sure she would be a great hiking/trail dog. We are so sad to have to get rid of her, but I think it would be best for her to be able to get the walks and love she deserves!

Story

I adopted Rocky in 2023 he was one year old at the time. He and his brother had been at the shelter since they were 6 weeks old. He is half Collie and half Pyrenees. His personality is all Pyrenees. He doesn't like children at all. He has some anxiety issues and was on doggy Xanax at the shelter. They said the anxiety was caused by the shelter. My son and I wanted a pet and he is very cuddly and sweet but he would prefer to spend most of his time outside. He lives in an apartment with me now and seems sad most of the time. He is without a doubt the BEST watch dog on earth. He'll let you know if someone is coming. He would never let someone rob you. Even though he's a working dog by breed, he's never actually worked but I'm sure he'd love too. He does not do any tricks or follow any commands. If you ever met a Pyr you know what I'm saying. He's not food motivated at all. He's pretty indifferent to dog treats. He likes people food if you offer it but he doesn't beg

Story

JB is a sensitive, intelligent dog who is slowly learning to trust the world again. He recently made the long trip back from Iowa and handled it without any issues. Since arriving, he has begun settling into a predictable routine and has made strong bonds with the resident dogs—especially the Malinois and a female German Shepherd he absolutely adores. JB is skittish by nature and will need a patient adopter who can give him the space and time he needs. He is wary of new people and uncomfortable with handling. While he wags his tail and shows clear affection toward his trusted person, he does not enjoy being touched and often stiffens when petted. He will lick your hand when you’re not looking, but he’s not yet comfortable taking treats from hands. With the right person, he may continue to grow, but he will need an adopter who respects his boundaries. JB is not recommended for homes with men, as he is generally fearful of them. A female-only home is ideal. He should also not live with cats or young children. Teenagers may be okay as long as they understand his space and needs. On the bright side, JB does beautifully with other dogs and may benefit from living with a confident canine companion. He enjoys herding-type activities, loves to run, and frequently plays with the dogs in his foster home. Outdoors, he no longer chases the horses and respects their space. He does fairly well on walks and tends to circle his person, keeping close. While he hasn’t been off-leash, he has a solid recall and doesn’t try to run off when outside. JB is housebroken, kennel trained, and goes into both his indoor and outdoor kennels easily. He knows a few basic commands like “come,” “sit,” and “kennel.” A patient training approach—or even a class—could help him build confidence, but he will need a trainer familiar with fearful dogs. JB’s ideal home is quiet, structured, and led by a patient woman who understands nervous, shut-down, or fearful dogs. A fenced yard, another friendly dog, and a calm environment would help him continue to progress. Inside the home he tends to pace, but once things are still, he settles. Sudden movements send him retreating to his kennel, though he returns once the environment is calm again. JB is a project dog—but a rewarding one for the right person. With time, consistency, and compassion, he will continue to blossom at his own pace. He’s looking for someone who sees beyond his fears and is ready to offer him the gentle, steady love he’s learning to trust.

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.) **Updated Bio**If you have ever wanted a Border Collie with all of the smarts and energy that comes with them, meet Bunny (no jokes about my name please. Have you seen my ears?). Bunny is a 35 lb., 13- month-old border collie with all of the characteristics you would expect in a true border collie. She has a very high energy level and is quite intelligent. Bunny would probably make a great sport dog. She is extremely fast and has legs that let her leap high into the air. She has recently discovered frisbee play and is learning all the ins and outs of keeping up with the flying disc. Bunny loves to explore the world and go on long sniffer walks. These long, unstructured walks allow her lots of mental stimulation, a must if you want to have a calm home. Bunny enjoys playing ball for a few minutes, but would rather race around the yard as the other dogs fetch the ball. Fast would be an understatement for this girl. She is up for trick training, but finds that difficult to focus in her foster home with four other dogs. There is always something more exciting than silly tricks. Water is a favorite with this pup, especially after exercise. Bunny loves exploring the lake, running through the water and the mud, flopping down in the wading pool, or chasing the hose. She is quite loving and will happily sit on a lap or on the floor for affection, once her energy and mental needs have been met. Bunny has a nice off switch, settling in with a favorite chew toy or napping. As she approaches bedtime, it is necessary for her to race around the backyard a couple of times to get out the last minute bugs. It takes Bunny a few minutes to warm up to new people and new things in her environment. Once she is comfortable with someone, they will be her friends for life. She is very enthusiastic when greeting people, so would be best for older children. She is being fostered with a mini Aussie, so sometimes doesn’t understand that she is bigger, stronger, and more exuberant than her foster sister. While Bunny is great with other dogs and definitely needs a companion dog. She is not good with cats, finding them to be very rewarding to chase. She is not good with chickens or other small animals, like moles in the garden. Bunny is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. She is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and has excellent recall. 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.September 20, 2026, 2:53 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Courtesy Post Courtesy Post - see contact info at the bottom of the bio!! Dorito is a one year-old, 34 pound male neutered Border Collie, who is currently in a Kansas City area shelter. He was initially a stray in Oklahoma and was transferred to the Kansas City shelter. Dorito loves his people, is a very active and driven boy, and would likely make a great sport prospect. He shows great focus, toy drive and a fantastic tug. While he doesn't always return with the disc, it's simply a matter of teaching him the rules of the game. Dorito enjoys interacting with the other dogs in large playgroups with dogs big and small. It's unknown how he is with cats, however. Dorito is highly alert on walks and if walking too close to a roadway, may lunge after cars, but is easily redirected. He also can be a leash biter but stops when told. Though he’s good with other dogs in playgroups, he will bark and pull, sometimes lunge towards other dogs when out on a walk. The shelter staff describes him as being very treat and toy motivated, Affectionate, Driven, Friendly, Happy Go Lucky, Hyper. He does still jump on people and can be mouthy, especially when trying to get you to play with him. He has shown no aggression. He is neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and on monthly preventatives.

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.September 20, 2026, 2:53 pm

A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.) Meet Finn - your future adventure buddy with a heart of gold and energy to match! Finn is a striking black-and-white Border Collie, around 1–2 years old and 50 lbs, who came into rescue as a stray. When he arrived, he was dealing with a significant skin infection and patchy hair loss, but with treatment and care, his coat is growing back beautifully and now shines with a healthy, glossy finish. Finn is a medium-high energy guy who's looking for an adopter with Border Collie (or similar herding breed) experience. He has learned “sit, down, wait, look, touch, take it, leave it, drop, and comes when called. He is house trained and crate trained. Finn has 2 older BC foster sisters he is respectful of them and takes correction well. He loves running and playing chase, with them, shares toys and bones. Finn hasn't been tested with cats, but he is VERY interested in squirrels--so a home without small critters is likely best Finn loves every human, big and small, and prefers being with his humans and family.He has been to a dog park, and was great with other dogs, and people. He really enjoyed exploring, and spending time with foster mom. He prefers a good walk, run or a hike. His leash skills are improving with a harness. Finn has learned to play ball, his favorite game! He will bring the ball back for you to throw until your arm is tired! This boy is not a couch potato! Despite his playful energy, Finn does have an off switch. He's happy to settle down, snuggle up on the floor, and shower you with hugs and kisses during movie time. (He's still practicing keeping those four paws on the floor, so no furniture privileges just yet!) He also enjoys chewing on bones and playing with tough squeaky toys. Finn would thrive with an active family who will include him in adventures like hiking, running, camping, and long walks. He is up for any activity with his people. He will need continued positive reinforcement training to keep building his confidence and channel his intelligence in the right direction. Daily physical and mental exercise will be key to keep this fun, bright boy happy. Finn is up to date on vaccines, on preventatives, and neutered. Does Finn sound like the perfect fit for your family? Apply to adopt him at MoKanbcrescue.org and come meet your new best friend!

Australian Cattle Dog

Story

Renegade came to us in 2015 as a 4-6 month old pup. She was on the urgent list at the Kansas City shelter: "***Rescue Only - Pup was brought to the shelter by animal control. It appears that she has had no previous human socialization and is very defensive when staff attempts to interact with her." Most ferals you work with will shut down, and curl up, and not really think about biting the thing scaring them. Renegade was different (hence her name). She will defend herself and will try to scare strangers away before they ever get near her. She eventually bonded to us and we could handle her and pet her and she'd curl up in a ball and allow the touching without defending herself. She'd wag her tail for us, and get excited to see us but then if you reached for her she'd run to her safe spot (an open wire crate) and curl up. With time, patience, and consistency she will now just cower down for petting, not run away. She WANTS the petting. She's so happy with us, dances around wagging her tail, gives us little kisses, loves treats, but when you reach for her she'll cower down and wait for the petting. The feral dog in her. With strangers, she acts like she's a guard dog and tries to scare them away...but with treats, time, and love she'll warm up to you. Renegade loves it here, she's safe here, but if a skilled, special person was interested in her...she is available for adoption. In the wrong home Renegade would bite someone. So we will be thorough in our screening of potential homes. Because of her trust/fear issues the potential adopter would need to come to our property to meet her 2-3 times a week for 3-6 weeks in a row to build a bond with her. Socially Imperfect...but still worth it. Renegade is a happy dog, who loves life, loves to play with other dogs, and deserves to live. She's a perfect example of why we do what we do. Just because she's not a 'normal' dog doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to live. Check out this video of her playing: https://www.facebook.com/AutumnAcres/posts/3285192524848339 Renegade doesn't have a sponsor. Want to help provide toys, treats, and routine medical care for her? Become her sponsor! $100 a month is all we need to help provide for her. At Autumn Acres Animal Rescue we believe each individual animal matters. We take in special cases some of which will stay with us as a sanctuary dog.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect Dog this means they have special needs and special requirements for potential adopters.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect RESIDENT this animal is NOT available for adoption and is one of our sanctuary residents. We list them on our sites because they still matter and they still need donations to help with their long term care.Check out our website for more information: http://www.autumnacres.org
