Story

It breaks my heart to make this decision, but due to my busy schedule, I’m no longer able to give my two Dobermans the time and attention they truly deserve. Alpha (1.5 years old) and King (1.3 years old) are loving, loyal, and full of energy. They would do best in an active home with someone experienced with large breeds. My priority is finding them a safe, responsible, and loving forever home. If you’re interested or would like more details, please message me.

Story

Meet Salome – A Gentle Soul With Melted Chocolate Eyes At five years old, Salome (affectionately known as Sal) is the kind of dog who speaks straight to your heart without ever making a sound. This beautiful German Shepherd has a quiet, calm spirit and the softest, most soulful eyes that seem to carry a lifetime of stories. One gaze from her and you’ll know—she’s something special. Sal is gentle, affectionate, and easy to be around. She walks wonderfully on a leash and enjoys spending her time outside, peacefully exploring and sniffing the breeze like it’s her favorite book. She’s beginning to discover the joy of toys and has recently started to romp and play, showing glimpses of a more carefree side as her confidence grows. Though she may be soft-spoken, her presence is strong and reassuring. Sal is ready for a calm and loving home where she can continue to bloom at her own pace, surrounded by kindness, patience, and the simple joys of companionship. 📍 Available for adoption at our Dogsville location in Humansville, MO 🖱 Apply to adopt at www.nmdr.org (select Missouri)

Not good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Meet Cookie, a 1 year old Poodle who is basically a 12 lb walking, wiggly, and cuddly sugar cookie with legs. She’s as sweet as her name and seems to know just how adorable she is. Cookie came from a home with at least 12 other dogs, so she’s very dog-friendly, but we don’t think she got much socialization with people. She is shy with new people and needs some time to warm up to them. Once she learns that she’s safe, she has so much love to give. She can be a bit skittish and sometimes enjoys playing a quick game of chase before being picked up, which feels part playful, part nerves, and fully adorable. This little sweetie is the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and professional snuggler. When it’s time to have fun, she’s all in. She plays with toys, gets the zoomies, and chases her tail like it’s the best thing ever. When it’s time to relax, she’s more than happy to curl up on the couch with you or keep you company while you work. She loves being near her people and kindly requests furniture privileges for maximum cuddles. In her foster home, Cookie has been learning that potty time happens outside and she is making steady progress. She is also working on leash training and will need someone who will help her continue building those skills. While she prefers to be near her people, she is free roam trustworthy when left alone. Cookie hasn’t been around children, and because she can be a bit mouthy when she’s super excited, we recommend a home without young kids. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Cookie is going to blossom into an amazing and adorable companion! Cookie is in foster in Loveland, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/cookie You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
