Story
Hi! My name’s Houston. I'm a four-year-old boxer mix boy and kind of a beefcake at around 80 pounds. (I'd argue that it's all muscle, too.) One of the things I want most in a forever home is a human friend to hang out with, not doing anything in particular, just a couple pals spending time together. Wouldn't that be amazing? I'm a little shy at first, but if you'll give me a few minutes to get to know you, we'll be besties. And I promise to be your snuggle pup! Really, though, I’m way too smart to laze around 24/7. I know sit, down, stay, high five, orbit, between, and wait. Learning tricks is one of my favorite activities and I can pick up new ones in just a day or two. I love to run outside and play in water from the hose. In case I wasn't clear enough on that, I LOVE PLAYING IN THE WATER!!!. My favorite game of all is tug of war. (I'll even let you win sometimes!) I’m kennel trained, house trained, and am good at being left alone. In fact, I do some of my best snoozing in my crate while I wait patiently for you to come home. I’d do best in a home with older children because I’m still learning how to contain all my excitement around the little ones. Since I've been looking for a home for a while, I think I'd prefer to be the only doggo so I don't have to share. I’ve got so much love to share and I absolutely cannot wait to meet you! You'll get to see my cute little nub of a tail wag and wag when I'm happy and that will make YOU happy, too! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 to find out more about me! I'm in the Kansas City metro, but my human friends will transport me to the right home. #thepetconnection #BoxerMix #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #DogsofKC #SmartPup #PlayfulPup #ForeverHomeNeeded #KCAdopt #DogLovers #pawsitivetailskc

Story
Meet Fletch! This brindle cutie is a master of the happy butt-wiggle. Fletch is playful, goofy, and smart, but also knows the art of cuddling. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and does great on a leash—walks are his jam! Fletch loves people and will be happiest as your one-and-only pup, though he might do fine with a calm doggy friend. He’s an affectionate, mostly quiet guy who’s just as happy chasing toys as he is snuggling on the couch. A fenced yard and daily exercise will keep him at his best. Fletch has had some tough times, but he’s grateful for every good thing—and he’s ready for his forever people to come along. 📍 Kansas City metro (transport available!) 📞 Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gnome is a special little girl looking for her forever home. She is approximately 9 months old. She is anxious when meeting new people. It takes some time and patience for her to warm up to someone. Gnome loves belly rubs, playing with her sister and our dog in the backyard and chew toys. Like a typical puppy, she likes to dig in the backyard and will chew on anything she finds, i.e., slippers. Gnome is learning to walk on a leash but can be easily distracted. She is house broken and is learning her basic commands. She would do well in a home with another dog. She has had limited exposure to cats but those interactions were successful. Gnome is currently being fostered with her sibling Patti. They have been together since birth and are extremely close. We feel it would be a plus if this bonded pair were adopted together into their forever home. But this is absolutely not needed!   For more info contact Cassie at crweber27@gmail.com The animal listed on this page was listed as a courtesy to help find the animal a home.

Story
Sweet Cookie didn’t have the easiest start in life. She was rescued from an abusive situation by someone who refused to let her be “dumped” and forgotten. Thanks to kindness and care, Cookie’s gentle, playful spirit has shone through—and now this beautiful girl is ready for her forever home. Cookie is about two years old, spayed, housebroken, and absolutely adores people—especially men! She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s included in family life. She’s wonderful with kids and thrives on attention and interaction. Cookie is a bright, social girl who will reward your love with endless devotion (and maybe a few zoomies for good measure). She can be dog-selective, but she’s done well with her current foster family’s dogs. Cookie would do best in a home where she can soak up lots of one-on-one time with her people and continue to blossom. Cookie’s ready to be someone’s best friend—are you ready to meet her?

Story
Meet Athena!Athena is a stunning 5-year-old Pit Bull mix with a gorgeous brindle and white coat and a heart ready to bond with her forever family. She’s spent some time at the shelter, but even short escapes for a walk or hike show her true personality—calm, affectionate, and wonderfully responsive once she gets a little energy out. Athena is dog selective, sometimes getting along with other dogs, so she’ll do best with careful introductions, but she thrives when she has the attention and patience of her people. Walks reset her stress level, cuddles are welcomed, and with the right home, she’s sure to settle in beautifully. Smart, loving, and ready for adventure or quiet moments alike, Athena is searching for a family to call her own and shower with love.

Story
Kayson is a `thinker.` While some dogs rush into the room barking, Kayson prefers to take a moment to observe, process, and wait for a gentle invitation. He is a shy, sensitive boy who is looking for a patient soul to show him that the world is a wonderful place.Once he feels safe, Kayson’s curiosity really shines. You’ll see his ears perk up at new sounds and his nose twitch as he explores his surroundings with a quiet, studious interest. He is incredibly attentive; he watches his person for cues and listens closely to the tone of your voice. He may be quiet, but he is always `plugged in` to the people he trusts.
