(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I'm Barbara! I'm a sweet and playful girl who loves people! I'm still learning to like toys but they are helpful in learning redirection when I get too excited and show it with my mouth. I do know the command 'sit' and am VERY treat motivated! But even with all the snacks, I think I have stayed pretty fit and trim. I would do well in a home that is willing to be patient and work with me to become the good girl staff know I can be! I am spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to go home with you!

Independence, KS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hey there, I'm Chief and I'm a big happy guy! Sometimes I don't know my own strength so I need some work learning not to pull on the leash. I do know the command sit and will graciously take treats whenever offered (how do you think I got this big and strong?). I love people but I can be a little picky about my animal friends so staff suggest that I go to an only pet home or have a meet and greet with any existing pets in the home. Ask a staff member how to proceed if you think you have the perfect home for me!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I'm Gabbanna! It looks like I may have had puppies in the past, but thats not a concern anymore now that I am spayed, as well as microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccines! I am super sweet and love to play with toys, but can sometimes be picky about other dogs. I do have to be adopted to someone that lives outside of city limits due to my breed. But I think I will make a great new companion for someone! Maybe even you!

Milo

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 4 mos
Independence, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I'm Milo! I recently got to move to foster, which has been so great for me! Foster mom says that I am potty trained and crate trained, and will go to my kennel when I am told and don't make a peep. I have done very well with other dogs in and out of the shelter, even my older canine foster brother. Upon meeting the family cat, I took a good sniff but moved on to more interesting things. I take a little bit of time to warm up and can be on the shy side, but once I know you're here to love and comfort me, I can't get enough! I likely had a rough past before coming to AWOL, so it is important that whoever takes me home understands the time and patience I may need to become the best version of myself, but I'm already working super hard at it!

Whiskey

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 4 mos
Independence, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hey, I'm Whiskey! Unfortunately, this is round 2 for me here at AWOL. I was adopted once but then got lost and was supposed to be taken care of by a friend when I was found. Someone found me wandering again, but this time they refused to come get me. So here I am hoping that someone will choose me forever this time. I need a little work on my manners, especially learning not to jump. But I can't always help that I get excited to see people, especially when I spend most of my time locked in a kennel. I know I can be a good boy, I just need time, patience, and the right person/people!

Story
Hi, I'm Linus! I was lucky enough to find one of the best foster homes where I've been able to learn so many new things! Foster mom says that I am housebroken, crate trained, dog AND cat friendly, and LOVE people! I am not so great around chickens or turkeys, but we all have our flaws. I also enjoy being her jogging buddy and am doing so well on a leash! She also says that I am really smart and am learning commands so quickly! If you are interested in meeting me, reach out to set up a meeting!
