Story

Gizmo is a wonderful dog and very loving dog. Hey was Born May 23rd, 2025. He is high energy and recommend a fence in yard so he can run. He loves being outdoors. I am extremely broken hearted, it is the best for him. I am going through a lot of medical issues and I can't give him the outside time he deserves.He is house trained to a point. He will bug you and get into your face (lovingly) but he is telling you he needs to go. Unfortunately due to health issues and not able to take him out regularly he has had some accidents. He definitely needs trained. Unfortunately when I rescued him last year I didn't know anything about training or what was going to happen with my health

Lahni

Mutt

Female, Adult

Lawrence, KS

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lahni is certianly a difficult case, not for the inexperienced dog parent. She has seasonal allergies that require allergy medication, for which she’s currently on immunotherapy treatments. She gets the occasional ear infection that is common with collie mixes. She is incredibly smart which makes her quite stubborn, and she loves to bark. Honestly, she needs a home where she can roam free and be able to kind of do her own thing, which at this time in my life I’m unable to provide. Unfortunately, she needs a new home with a new family to love due to our families new baby. She hasn’t been aggressive towards the baby but she has been aggressive towards strangers in the home since my son was born, likely just being protective but I can’t trust her anymore. If you’re looking for a challenge and a really smart dog, Lahnis the right dog for you.

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

He’s pretty high energy & can be pretty skittish, but he’s never been aggressive. He’s a very sweet boy & LOVES everyone, we just have too much going on to keep him. He has a couple of fatty lumps on his chest/neck, nothing concerning or life threatening (normal for labs/lab mixes). Will provide some food & bed, as well as some other care bits and bobs we have for him. I don’t necessarily need the $10, I just want him to go to a good home where he can have the attention he needs/deserves. Located in Pittsburg KS (adopt a pet won’t let me change the zip code).

Dolly

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Lawrence, KS

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Adopted this sweet girl from the Humane when she was still a pup, was a stray most of her puppyhood. Fee is flexible I just really want to make sure she goes to a good and loving home. She's about 4 now and truly is as sweet as can be and snuggly to boot! Great with kids and other dogs. Has a tendency to escape fences and needs a lot of supervision. She's pretty attached to our other dog and I hate to break them up but we just do not have the ability to meet all her needs anymore. I'd say she's high need but fairly low energy, very loving and gentle. We'd be happy to provide her kennel and bedding and some toys she loves as well. I want her to be in a good home and wish I could do what she needs but with a baby in the house now we just aren't meeting her needs.

Prada

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Lawrence, KS

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Due to an upcoming move, we are unfortunately unable to bring our girl, Prada with us and are needing to find her a loving new home. This has been a very difficult decision, and we want to make sure she goes to a safe, caring environment where she will receive the attention and activity she deserves. She absolutely loves going on walks and being active, and would do best with someone who enjoys getting outside for walks, hikes, or runs. She is very high energy and would thrive with space to run, ideally with a fenced-in backyard. She is wonderful with kids, very gentle, and does well with other dogs once properly introduced. She tends to enjoy rough-and-tumble play with other dogs and would likely do best with dogs that can match her energy and play style. She’s also a great guard dog and incredibly loyal. She tends to bond more closely with women and would likely do best in a home without men — she’s truly a “girls’ girl.”
