😽CAT FRIENDLY😽 Thanks for stopping by my profile! My name is Chloe, and I am a 9-month-old pittie mix who currently weighs 45 pounds. I’m almost at my adult weight of 50-55 lbs. An ideal size really for a housemate! My foster mom loves my super sweet, goofy personality! I LOVE to be around my person and am hoping to find my best friend who will shower me with love and take me on all kinds of adventures! Here are some great things about me! 🩷I am crate trained and sleep in my crate at night without making a mess ❤️I am working on my house training skills and almost have them mastered 🧡I get along well with other dogs, cats, and even chickens!🐓 💚I know some commands like sit, shake, lay down, kennel, and respond to no 💙 Going on walks is cool, and I am learning how to walk politely 💜I like to ride in the car and hang my head out the window. Have you heard of pup cups? They are the best! I would love to have a doggy buddy in my home to play with and to make me feel more confident. I have a medium to higher energy level, so regular walks or playtime in the yard would help me burn off my puppy energy. Do you have any toys for me to play with? I'm not picky; any toys are welcome! If I sound like a great fit for your family, please apply to adopt me. My adoption fee is $175 and includes my spay, microchip, vaccinations, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org🐕

Story
Hi! I’m Lily, a proud little Miniature Pinscher mix, and I’ve got a personality that’s much bigger than my size! 🐾 My life started out a little rough—I was left alone in an abandoned apartment when I was just a puppy. But I’m a survivor, and now I’m ready for a life full of love, cozy routines, and someone special to call my person. I tend to bond very closely with my favorite human, which is why I’d do best with someone who spends a lot of time at home or is willing to take me along. Once you’re my person, I’m incredibly loyal and devoted. I love being near you—but I’m also independent enough to entertain myself when needed. I’m also a cat-friendly girl, which is pretty cool if you already have feline roommates. Now let’s talk about my personality… I’ve been called stubborn, but I prefer to think of it as being confident and usually right. I’m also a little bossy, but that’s only because someone has to keep things organized around here. If everyone would simply listen to me, life would run much more smoothly. A few of my favorite things include: car rides (seriously, I love them); special trips to Starbucks for a legendary pup cup; hanging out with my person; and practicing my “sit” command, which I already know like a pro. I’m still working on my leash skills, but with a little patience and training, I’ll get the hang of it. If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick with sass, intelligence, and a whole lot of love, I might be your perfect match. I promise to keep you company, keep you entertained, and make sure you never forget the pup cups on our car rides! To meet me, go to waalrescue.org/adopt and fill out an application.

Story
Meet Henry, a senior dog with a heart full of joy. He was surrendered to WAAL when his elderly owner could no longer provide care. His friendly demeanor makes him a delightful companion for families, as he's great with kids and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. Henry is also kennel trained, showcasing his good manners. Despite his playful spirit, he's calm and loving, ready to bring warmth and laughter to his new home. Henry has urinary crystals and must be on prescription dog food for the rest of his life. He is working on his potty training skills, making great progress. Adopting Henry means gaining a loyal friend who will cherish every moment with you and fill your days with playful adventures and peaceful companionship. To meet him, fill out an application at waalrescue.org/adopt.
