Story
We were given Wendell as a puppy. He was an amazing dog and I saw to it that we did all the proper training with him and he was a well behaved dog that was good with kids and other dogs. When he was about 7 months old he started having seizures. Our vet was overseeing these seizures and over time he has been put on two seizure meds and and an anxiety med. The seizures have changed him and what at one time did not bother him, now affects him a lot. We have two wild 5 yo little boys that live here and this seems to affect his seizures and his anxiety and his behaviors are no longer compatible with our fam. It is like he was never trained. He is just wild and 3x he has caused me to fall, the last time causing me damage to my back. He has never been aggressive and he has never attempted to bite, but because of his behaviors we have to keep him crated a great deal which is not fair to him. He needs a quieter home with lots of love and someone who can handle a dog with his special needs.

Story
Levi is a very loving and sweet German Shepherd and Red Healer mix. He is fully house broken and sleeps soundly through the night in his own bed. He is about 10 years old but still has plenty of energy and no health issues. He is definitely is at his happiest when he can get daily exercise. He knows basic training and walks well on a leash, he is very smart and trainable. A kong full of treats is his favorite! It breaks my heart to have to re-home him but he does not get along with our lab. That being said it would probably be best if he went to a home as an only dog as he has shown reactive behavior. He is great with people, fine with some dogs, and not good with other dogs. I don't know what the trigger is that makes him reactive with certain dogs. He will make a wonderful companion for the right family. He will come with his collar, harness, and kong.

Wichita, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ace was on the euthanasia list due to kennel cough in the Wichita Animal Shelter until a foster offered to take him in until 1st week of June. Even thought the kennel cough cleared, he ended up being Heartworm positive, and needed a place to chill and recover. Well, he is now 100% and ready to go to his furever home! Ace is a bundle of love and energy and is always ready to party! He is kennel trained, knows sit, shake, and leave it. He is older kid and dog friendly. Love LOVES toys and needs direction when it is time to put them away. He is a little too interested in our kitties so we have not introduced them. Ace is super affectionate, loves to play and is a super good boy in general! He is also independent and is happy entertaining himself. Looking for the definition of unconditional love? Then Ace is your guy!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Joplin loves other dogs but likes to play rough. He takes correction well and has been to doggy daycare. When it comes to kids, he can be kinda rough when excited so maybe not small children. He will steal food from kids if the opportunity presents itself. Joplin is potty trained and goes into his kennel easily. He is a people please and listens when you say "no. He knows commands sit, down, kennel, shake, and spin. Joplin has come pretty far with his indoor manners. He hasn't had an accident inside in months, hasn't chewed any shoes lately, not generally destructive indoors. I buy him large beef cheek rolls to chew on because smaller chews do not last very long lol. He is a very active dog and can be obsessive over things like the squirrels and birds in the backyard. I have a 6 foot privacy fence that he used to try to dig under but has not lately. He still digs holes in the yard if not watched though, he loves to dig! He really likes to hang out in the yard no matter the weather. Joplin is kind of hard to walk as he gets distracted by anything that moves and will cross in front of and behind you. Its better to walk him on a quieter path, not near traffic and loads of people. He is extremely friendly but does get spooked by unexpected things on walks, will bark and put up hackles. When he's excited, his manners go out the window. He will start jumping on people and sometimes will get your hand instead of the toy if playing. When we wind down for the night, Joplin loves to cuddle. He has no boundaries and wants to be in your lap or sleeping as close to you as possible. Definitely likes the company of other dogs around the house. He's a pretty big sweetie in general, not at all aggressive. I think he would appreciate a home with more activity than mine (more people to play with and also a dog that likes to play)

Dolly

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 9 mos

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This beautiful girl is Dolly! Dolly is super sweet and very timid, especially with men. Once she warms up to you, she really shows her silly side! She takes the label of BFF to heart. She loves a solid zoomie session outside and can shred a stuffie like it's her job. Dolly's motto is play hard, nap harder. Our girl is your basic house hippo! She can walk really well on a leash, but she does tend to pull if she gets spooked and wants to go back home. She takes treats gently and gives the best soft and slobbery kisses! Dolly has shown some guarding issues that have been manageable with guidance and structure. She will need a strong and patient leader to help her through her fear and guarding tendencies! She responds best to stern but gentle corrections. She's a very good girl that just wants to please and make her humans happy! Dolly is currently in boarding and is looking for a foster or forever home. Someone give this perfect girl a comfy home of her own!

Story
Meet Corriander! Foster mom also calls me Corrie, Corrie Ann, Princess Pea Pod and Madam Magic Ears Do you have any treats? I LOOOVE treats! Ya got a big fluffy People bed for us to snuggle in? I love those too! My brother Cayden (got dopted already) and me came into Beauties care as babies because we had something wrong with our baby bones, but I’m all good now and ready for my forever home. I’m kind of shy with new people, but warm up quickly once I realize that there is no stranger danger. I’m potty and crate trained, have fabulous ears and apparently Queen of the Side Eye. I LOVE kissing other dogs (much to their dismay), scratches on the top of my head, tearing up fluffy squeakies and balls, and I’m pretty good at patrolling the perimeter and making friends with the squirrels. They fascinate me so much! I don’t chew on things that I’m not supposed to, and I’m not too nosy so I won’t be into any of your stuff……..unless it squeaks or is food. Give me a toy or a bone and I can entertain myself pretty easily, but if you want to play, I’m up for it! Do you want to play with me forever? Foster Mom here. Corrie Ann and her brother had Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy as puppies. She was having one episode when she was brought into care, and one more after a set of vaccines. For this reason, she cannot have any Leptospirosis vaccines in the future. She has been raised with 5 other dogs in the home and her only issue is her kissing them and invading their space with her love. Corrie is a healthy, happy girl looking for her forever family to really help her blossom. Is it you?
