Story
Scruff alert! Look at our cutie pie, Brandy. She’s a fine girl who is a super loyal 6-year-old, 19-lb. Terrier/Chihuahua mix. Brandy came to us under-socialized (happens to the best of us, TBH), and she has learned so much from her foster parents. She is smart and eager to please her people. In a short time, she’s discovered playing with toys and getting so many treats for doing what her people ask. Now, her favorite things to do are play, go for walks, snuggle on your lap and to be told she’s a good girl. Aww, of course she is! She picks up on things quickly, especially if there are treats involved. Brandy sits on command to wait for other dogs to walk by without reacting. And now that she’s caught on to the routine, she runs right upstairs and pops into her crate at bedtime too. If her darling face isn’t enough to make you smile, wait until you see her unmatched “wiggle-butt welcome home dance!” You’ve never been so happy to get home from the grocery store. Brandy is ready to keep living the good life and to come learn the routine at your house. She is house trained and crate trained – though she’s great around the house and doesn’t need to be crated when you’re away. She’ll be a lap dog, a strolling dog and a constant, scruffy companion. We wouldn’t be surprised if it takes Brandy a few days to get accustomed to her new people. If you stock up on both treats and patience, we have no doubt she’ll settle into your home as happily as she has in her foster home. Brandy is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and current on flea/tick prevention and heartworm preventative. Her adoption fee is $225. Apply to adopt her at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story
“Alexa- do you have a notification for me?” Alexa: One of the dogs at Pawsitive Tails Dog Rescue has a great bio. Would you like to hear about it? “Yes” Meet Lexus, a beautiful brindle female mix looking for a home! She is a compact 40-pound 2-year-old who is smart and treat motivated, so she is quick to learn new tricks. Lexus is house and kennel-trained and loves all people. After a slow introduction, she is dog-friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs her size or larger. Lexus’ favorite things are chewing bones, destroying stuffy toys, running around in a fenced yard, and getting belly rubs. She is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. Lexus will submissively roll over on her back for belly rubs. This smart girl is learning leash manners. She is happiest running around in a fenced yard but can jump a 4-foot fence, so an adopter who will walk her or who has a 6-foot privacy fence would be best. While Lexus has lots of energy for play, she is also the best cuddler and enjoys snuggling up next to you on the couch while you watch Netflix or your favorite streaming service. Lexus is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations and preventatives, such as flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $175. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 “Alexa- how do I meet this dog?” Alexa: Fill out an application at PawsitiveTailsKC.org to meet this beautiful girl.

Story
EVY (formerly Harley;name was changed only because I already have a dog named Harley) is a 55-lb American Pocket Bully, approximately 5,6 years old. She is a loving, people-oriented couch dog who does great with older children, including my kids and neighborhood kids. I took her in to help her breeder, but the breeder has since moved and is unable to take her back. Due to my recent divorce, hysterectomy recovery, financial strain, and managing multiple dogs, I can no longer provide the environment EVY needs. She gets along well with two of my dogs but has shown aggression toward one dog with significant anxiety, and they do not cohabitate safely despite management efforts. Because of this, EVY may do best as an only dog or with an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and introductions. Cat compatibility is unknown. She enjoys walks and outdoor time but is primarily an indoor companion. The breeder stated her vaccinations were up to date likely need updated and spayed.

Story
If you like big dogs and you cannot lie, boy, do we have the girl for you! Say hi to Sable. This stunner is a 6-month-old, Anatolian Shepherd mix who currently weighs 35 pounds. She will be large, weighing over 60 pounds when fully grown. If she doesn’t woo you with her soulful brown eyes, she will with her sweet and social personality. Sable is an active pup who can also be mellow. She loves nothing more than being around her people getting pets, or playing with her doggie friends. Miss Sable not only has the looks but also the smarts. She is nearly house-trained and sleeps quietly in her crate when left alone and at night. She is practicing her leash skills with her foster dad and is doing well. Sable has already learned a couple of commands, such as ‘touch’ and ‘come’. She LOVES to chew, so having chew toys on hand is a great release for her puppy urges. Playing in her very own fenced yard would make her a very happy girl. A 5’ fence is recommended. Sable would love a family willing to continue working with her on puppy training so she can grow up to be a well-behaved doggo. She will come to you spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, along with flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $275. To meet her, simply head over to PawsitiveTailsKC.org and fill out an adoption application. Meet and greets will be set up with approved applicants. This BIG-hearted girl is ready to show her BIG love to her forever family. Apply now! 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story
Did you know that Oreos are America’s favorite cookie? Who can resist this chocolate, crunchy cookie with a creamy frosting center? 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 We feel the same way about OUR Oreo! He is an 11-month-old mixed breed who currently weighs 50 pounds. Oreo is a laidback dog that gets along with other dogs. He thinks cats are for chasing, so a home with no feline friends is best. Kids are great, but let's say over 12 years old, as he likes to "herd" them by nipping at their ankles. He enjoys playing with all types of toys and interacting with people. He is a loving boy who loves pets, belly rubs, and puppy cookies! Here is why we believe Oreo is highly irresistible! ❤️House trained ❤️Kennel trained ❤️Knows the commands sit and come ❤️Calm demeanor ❤️Loves walks Doesn’t he sound as yummy as the famous cookie we all love! Oreo’s adoption fee is $175 and includes his neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and up-to-date flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Apply to meet this delicious pup at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 We hope this boy will become your favorite cookie, too! 🍪 🍪 🍪
