Story
Hi, I'm Gus! I love being around everyone, whether they're kids, cats, or other dogs. I'm super friendly and love cuddles. I'm still learning to use the potty properly, but I'm getting better every day! My favorite games are tug of war and fetch. I'm quite talkative too, always ready to tell you about my day. Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend who will always be there to play, chat, and snuggle. To meet me, fill out an application at waalrescue.org/adopt.

Story
🐱 🐈 🐱 Cat Friendly 🐱 🐈 🐱 There once was a girl with no name. She found herself pregnant with nowhere to go. Some stranger picked her up and took her to a dark, loud, scary place called Animal Control where she delivered her babies. Now, she not only had to protect herself but also her six precious babies. She worked so very hard to keep them warm, dry, and fed. Little did she know, her little family was scheduled to be euthanized. Thankfully, when her babies were a few days old, she was taken out of that scary place. Her little family was put in a van and drove for a very long time. A nice lady took her and her babies and put them in a warm & comfy place. The nice lady fed her and ensured she and her babies stayed warm and dry. She started to trust this lady & knew she was here to help them. I now have a name, it is Ozark, and this story is about me. I am a 2-year-old, Malinois/German Shepherd mix. I weigh about 65 lbs. I discovered the nice lady taking care of us is my foster mom. She tells me I am a very good girl & I believe her. I listen very well to her and do what she asks. I play with all my foster sibling dogs, big to small, and I smoothly adapt my play style for each of them. I love all our toys, and I share them with the other dogs. I know I am very smart. When we do the fun training sessions I catch on very fast. I also love to walk on my leash and am careful not to pull too hard. I know I am expected potty outside & know never to chew up anything that is not mine. I already know how to sit, kennel up, & off. I know I can learn lots - what do you want to teach me? I am a good girl in my crate, & I’m house trained. At night, I either sleep in my crate or with my foster family. I will be spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations and flea/tick/heartworm prevention at time of adoption. My adoption fee is $175. To meet me, you just need to fill out an application at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org
