Story
Sweet Maize (May-zee) needs a lot of attention. Adopted her from a shelter and have worked on her anxiety issues. She has come a long way She is good with cats and MOST dogs. One of our dogs is high energy and prone to aggression toward her. She deserves a safer space than we can provide. She exhibits PTSD-like behavior and needs a calm place with a regular routine. She is wary around men, and it takes a long time for her to accept them around.. She will not hurt kids, but the activity level may be a challenge for her. She needs a very patient female around willing to get her integrated into a new environment. She does okay on field trips with her person. Regular outings to regular places helps. She has been here over a year, and we’ve learned her needs and her challenges. I will be picky about placement, and rehoming will be with the agreement that if she is not a good fit, she is returned to us (not a shelter) as we try again. Fee includes crate etc. so she has familiar items.

Story
“Kippy has a calm, gentle presence that draws you in. She doesn’t demand attention — she offers herself, and that kind of love is hard to forget. That quiet trust is what makes her so special.” – Foster Mom. Miss Kippy is a 2-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing 50 pounds. She has the most stunning brindle coat and those perky ears, gah! Under all that beauty is a gentle, observant, and quietly affectionate lady. Kippy gets along with every dog she meets, both male and female. Kippy has met confident barn cats and showed curiosity without aggression or chasing. Because the cats did not run, we cannot say for sure how she would respond to a fearful or fast-moving cat. Continued supervision and slow introductions would be necessary in a home with cats. Kip is calm, patient, and comfortable around kids. Miss Kippy enjoys food-based enrichment such as Kongs filled with peanut butter and bully sticks. She is always up for a walk and time outside, but does not require high levels of exercise. This smart gal is house-trained and can be trusted to sleep on her dog bed at night. Kip knows “sit,” and can easily learn many more commands. Kippy is learning that the world can be safe. She is still gaining confidence in new environments. She would be best suited for a home that values calm energy and patience over fast expectations. A consistent routine, gentle guidance, and positive reinforcement will help her continue to build confidence. Kippy will come to you spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $175. If you feel you and Kip would make a good match, head over to PawsitiveTailsKC.org and fill out an adoption application. Approved applicants will be contacted to set up a meet-and-greet. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 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! 🍪 🍪 🍪

Story
🐱🐱 Cat-friendly 🐱🐱 Is the news of the world just too much to take these days? And you’re looking for a new way to cope? You need a Brandy girl in your life! A few gentle kisses from her and maybe some silly playtime, and you’ll realize that you already have all the world and all the news you need right here in front of you. Brandy is a petite little thing, under 20 pounds, and she’s a 7-year-old Terrier and Short-Coat Chihuahua mix. She’s got a creamy-colored soft and scruffy coat, plus a cute furry face that you can arrange into different expressions to suit your mood. She is affectionate and people-oriented and likes to snuggle close and get pets. If you pause your petting or forget that she likes it, she’ll put a paw on you to remind you. She is playful and has a silly side too, so let your stress go and just laugh with her. When it’s rest time or at night, she’ll seek out people to cuddle with, if you like. Once she’s comfortable with them, Brandy will play with other dogs. She might avoid them at first, but with proper space and time, she’ll come around and make friends. She lives with cats and does just fine. All of this little lady’s wonderfulness will shine through in a patient and calm home. She can be startled by noises and sudden movements, so any place that those kinds of things don’t happen often will be ideal for her. She is submissive and is most likely to hide or submit in fear when afraid. You’ve already forgotten the bad headlines while reading about her, haven’t you? Come and meet your Brandy! She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and current on heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Her adoption fee is $225. Apply to adopt her today at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤
