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.)   Oscar is a gorgeous Blue Merle, BC/Collie mix, about 60 lbs, lean and trim with long legs. He came into Rescue, after he was found chained in a yard with limited access to food and water. He was very skinny, with a gangly gait. With good food, and exercise he  has blossomed into a VERY handsome, silly, sweet boy.  As his muscles have developed, he has become agile, quick, and a fast runner.  He and his foster sister use the raised beds in the backyard as an obstacle course, darting and running around them when they play. Oscar loves to play with other dogs, and has been respectful, taking correction from foster sisters. Oscar has has learned good house manners, and is house broken. He is kenneled when foster mom leaves the house, and has been kenneled at night. He is now allowed to sleep on a dog bed, with his foster sister in Mom’s bedroom. He has done well, and sleeps through the night. This boy absolutely LOVES toys, bones, and more toys! He plays with toys in the house, will occasionally retrieve a toy for you to throw again. He gets excited meeting people, and is learning to calmly sit, and not jump up. He knows “look, sit,” and will wait for his food until released to eat. He does get excited going outside, and learning to sit and “wait” before going out the door. Oscar is a smart boy, and would enjoy an obedience class with his new family. He is eager to learn, and very treat motivated, taking them with a gentle mouth. Oscar is getting much better on the leash, almost walking in a straight line most of the time.  He has learned what “wrong side” means when he darts behind foster mom, and corrects himself by reversing and coming back around to where he needs to be. He loves his walks! He does have a lot of energy, and would enjoy another playful dog in the family. He would be fine as a solo dog with an active family who will take him for walks, runs, hikes, or any adventure, to be a part of the family. Oscar has a sweet, loving nature and loves being with his people. He does have an off switch, enjoying cuddles on the couch or curled up laying at your feet. Oscar has been okay with older kids. He may accidentally knock over small toddlers with his enthusiasm for life. Oscar is neutered, up to date on vaccines, currently on preventatives for Heartworm, flea and ticks, being fostered in the Kansas City area. Does Oscar sound like the perfect fit for your family? Complete an application for the opportunity to meet this wonderful dog. He is waiting for you!

My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to be with my person. Second only to that is playing with my foster brother, Anderson (Andy for short). He had a tough start in life, and I’ve gotten to help him learn how to be a puppy. As for toys, nothing’s better than a stick off a backyard tree. I also have a few toys that my former family gave me and with which I still love to play – my squeaky, stuffed Gameboy is the best. I get along great with other dogs. The neighbor dog has stayed with us a few times when his family has gone on trips. We get along really well! My foster mom is an 11-year-old border collie, who is also a MoKan rescue and who was great at helping me learn my way around my foster home, especially around dinner time. We thought I might have some food aggression issues, but my human has put each of our bowls in separate spots at mealtimes, and we’ve had no issues. So far, I’ve gotten along with all the humans I’ve met. I haven’t had any interaction with young kids. I understand basic commands like come, sit, give, and I am sure I can learn a lot more. Regarding my forever home, I would love a place where I can hop up on the couch and bed and snuggle with my human. I am a terrific cuddler. I’m sure I would be happy in a home where I’m the only dog. I’d be equally happy if I have a brother or sister dog. I’ve got lots of energy. Hey, I’m a border collie, but I’ve not expressed that energy in any negative way. In chewing on things, I keep to my toys…not furniture or clothing. Going on walks or to the park will be wonderful. Rest time is great, too.

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

Thats me! I’m a border mix pup that was found as a stray in El Dorado. MoKan sprang me out of the shelter, and I have been enjoying all the comforts of my foster home ever since! I like playing in the yard with my foster sister, learning fetch, and napping on the couch in the evenings after I get all my zoomies out. I am affectionate, and I want to lick your face and crawl all over you if you let me. My foster mom likes to snuggle on the couch with me while I bring her all my toys to chew on. I am still learning that I can chew on  toys but not people, so it will be a little while before I am ready to be around small children. My nickname right now is ‘Piranha Pup’! I know how to sit on command and walk well on a leash, but I still have a lot to learn — my foster mom keeps trying to tell me not to jump on people or pee on the fuzzy rug, but I don’t quite understand her yet. I sleep in my kennel from 10pm to 5am without barking or making a mess, but when I am ready to come out you will definitely hear about it! My foster family says I am a “morning person”, whatever that means. I’d love a doggie friend in my new home but I’d do fine as a solo dog as well. I live with cats right now and I like them just fine, but they aren’t much fun to play with. I have learned to be polite and give them their space, and my cat friend lets me get close enough to sniff him sometimes. We can hang out on the couch together sometimes, but I am not supposed to chase him, and that’s hard to remember when it is so fun! I am treat motivated, and very bright. I would make an excellent companion for an active person who can dedicate lots of time to exercise and training. If you think I am the right dog for you, fill out an application on the Mo-Kan website!
