We have had mollie for about 6 years, she is amazing with kids and new humans. She does have pretty severe separation anxiety which for us has been difficult to deal with recently as both my wife and I are working full time now. Mollie would be an amazing pet and friend for someone who is home often. She loves playing fetch and being outside, great with other dogs.

Story
Sprite was adopted in south Texas, she was born in late '23 (about 2 yrs old). The mother was a stray Belgian Malinois while the father was a neighboring Black Labrador. She was weaned at 8 weeks and recieved all her scheduled vaccines, boosters and her spay (June '24). She was raised in a household with dogs, cats and small children. She adapts well to new members and guests. Although she gets along with her housemates, she has a high prey drive as a Malinois and needs a more qualified owner. As her family is moving into a farming community, her containment will become problematic- causing injuries to herself and potentially the neighboring farm animals. For her safety it would be best if she is relocated to a home with proper fencing, larger housemates, older kids and activities more suitable for her breed. She is house/kennel trained, excellent guarding instinct, eager to please and very athletic. All her medical records are located at Allen Veterinary Center in Parsons, KS.

Story
Meet Rizzo: The Sweet and Salty Companion Ready for Love! Rizzo is a delightful blend of sweetness and sass, making her a unique and loving addition to any home. This charming girl is obedient with her foster family and has formed strong bonds with both humans and doggie friends! Rizzo’s journey began when she showed up on her foster’s mom’s porch, ready for a new start. Initially a bit fearful, she quickly warmed up when approached gently, showing her affectionate side with lots of kisses and snuggles. With patience and time, Rizzo has thrived in her foster home, where she’s learned to trust and love hard. While she can be a bit shy and cautious with new people, Rizzo has made great strides. She thrives in structured environments and quickly adapts to new routines. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with affection, including plenty of belly rubs and gentle licks! Rizzo is smart and eager to learn, picking up training commands with ease. She’s also kennel trained and considers her kennel a safe haven. Potty trained and food motivated, she enjoys sharing treat time with her fellow fosters without issue. However, she does have some food guarding tendencies, so a bit of training can help her feel more comfortable during mealtime. Although Rizzo has a medium energy level, she loves playtime with her dog friends and will occasionally assert her herding instincts during group play. She enjoys walks, car rides, and, of course, food! Rizzo can be a bit reactive to barking dogs on the other side of the fence and may engage in fence fighting. However, with guidance, she can learn to curb this behavior with leave it and retreat back into the home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will follow you around like a shadow and offer endless love, Rizzo is ready to find her forever home with someone who will give her the chance to thrive!

Story
Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: No Meet Greyson: The Sweet M&M with a Soft Heart! Greyson came to Beauties in early 2020 when his previous owner could no longer care for him, and he’s been on the lookout for his forever home ever since. This handsome boy has a bit of a tough exterior but is ready to show his sweet and goofy side to the right person! Think of Greyson as a delicious M&M: a hard shell that takes a little time to break through, but once you earn his trust, you’ll discover his loving and playful center. He has some barrier issues, which means not everyone gets to see just how charming and entertaining he can be. Greyson loves to roll around and scratch his back during walks, making him a delightful companion! While he may look tough, he has a soft spot for cuddles and makes a fantastic body pillow on chilly nights. Just be warned—this boy is not a fan of getting wet! You won't catch him splashing through puddles; he prefers to keep his paws dry. Greyson needs a patient and understanding person who can take the time to get to know him and help him feel secure. He’s the perfect match for someone who appreciates the beauty of building trust and connection. And single ladies, take note—this four-legged stud muffin might be just the cuddle buddy you didn’t know you needed! If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will bring warmth and laughter into your home, Greyson is ready to meet you!

Story
Rudolph is a stunning, independent boy who's been in boarding for a while now, patiently waiting for the right foster or forever home. Though he may not get along with felines, he’s quite friendly with other dogs and enjoys being around people—on his own terms, of course! In boarding and on walks, Rudolph can appear focused and serious, almost as if he's on a mission. But once he's in a more relaxed environment, his fun-loving and playful side comes to life! He absolutely adores playtime in the yard and lives for car rides, where he lets his goofy side shine through. When it comes to affection, Rudolph is a bit like a cat—he prefers to be in control of when and how he receives it, making him a bit of a unique character! He's a smart boy, knowing commands like "look at me," "sit," "lay down," "shake," and "stay." However, he can be a little stubborn and needs a confident leader to help guide him. A household with adults only would be best, as he can get a bit nippy when he's excited. One important thing to know about Rudolph is that he has a tracheal issue, which requires lifelong medication. Because of this, he must always be walked using a harness or harness lead to avoid any pressure on his neck. If you’re an experienced dog owner who appreciates a dog with character and charm, Rudolph might just be the perfect match for you! He’ll keep you entertained, make you laugh, and be a loyal companion on every car ride and adventure.
