Story
Hi! My name is Gumbo I’m your new best friend! I’m currently being fostered by my caretakers, who work at a vet clinic. I originally came in for a foreign body removal and had to be surrendered, but my foster parents took great care of me, and now I’m ready to find my forever home! I’m about six months old, up to date on all my vaccinations, and while I’m not neutered yet, I’m a happy, healthy pup. I’m the ultimate apartment do I love short walks around the neighborhood, a few minutes of playtime, and then hours of uninterrupted napping. I sleep and eat in my kennel, and I walk very well on a leash. I get along great with other dogs, and while I love trying to play with them, I also do well with cats. If you are interested in meeting me, I’d be so excited to get to know you and hopefully find my perfect family!

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!

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
🚨**BREAKING NEWS: Most Eligible Bachelor Still Single After 3 Years!**🚨 Meet Finley, aka Fin, aka Sir Wigglebutt of Missouri, our longest-standing foster roomie and undefeated champion of "Why Hasn't Anyone Adopted Me Yet?!" This dashing 6-year-old border collie mix was rescued from a small shelter in southern Missouri over three years ago. That’s right—he’s been waiting for his forever family longer than most of us keep a gym membership. And despite his charm, smarts, and majestic ears, he’s had zero interest. Zero. Nada. Not even a swipe right. Let’s break down the goods: 🐾 Fin is potty and kennel trained, because he's a refined gentleman. 🎓 He knows basic commands and loves to flex his mental muscles. Want to feel like you live with a tiny furry Einstein? He's your guy. 🎾 Fetch? Obsessed. Walks? Let’s go. 🐶 Dog-friendly with proper introductions—he’s got standards, okay? But also happy to be your one-and-only four-legged roommate. 👶 Not a fan of tiny humans (they’re too chaotic, and he’s already got enough energy for the whole household). 🌾 He has some food allergies, but with his meds, he’s good to go. Think of it like having a slightly picky brunch date—manageable and totally worth it. Finley's dream home? Active adults with a sense of humor, a love for long walks, and maybe a soft spot for underdogs (literally). No toddlers, no drama, just love. This pup has been waiting since 2021 to be someone’s ride-or-die. So come on—don’t let his “forever home” turn into "forever foster." Adopt Finley and be the hero he writes about in his doggy diary.

Story
Jai is a 50-pound mixed breed sweetheart who brings just the right balance of playfulness and calm to any home. With her gentle personality and affectionate nature, Jai has quickly become a favorite among our volunteers and fosters. She’s an incredibly friendly girl who gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids. Whether she’s cuddled up for a nap, hanging out in the backyard, or greeting new friends with tail wags, Jai’s easygoing demeanor makes her a wonderful companion for families, couples, or individuals alike. Jai is both house trained and kennel trained, which makes the transition into a new home smooth and stress-free. She loves to go on walks, lounge in the sun, or just be near her people. While she’s laid-back by nature, Jai also enjoys some fun and playtime—especially if it involves outdoor exploring or sniffing around the yard. She would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can run and roam freely or with an active adopter who enjoys getting out and about. Jai is the type of dog who will happily match your energy—ready to relax when you are, but excited to join when it’s time for a little fun. The only exception to Jai’s friendliness? Chickens. She just can’t help herself around them, so a chicken-free home is a must. Jai's adoption fee is $200. This fee includes her vaccinations, spay surgery, microchip, and heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Jai was diagnosed with Ehrlichiosis, a condition that occurs when dogs are bitten by an infected tick. She has received treatment and has experienced no further issues since. If necessary in the future, certain antibiotics, particularly doxycycline, are highly effective. This treatment is the preferred choice as it is readily available and generally well tolerated. Ready to give Jai the second chance she deserves? Apply to adopt at lucky13rescue.org and make her part of your story.
