Story

Coco is a 2yo female from the Lawrence Humane Society. She is so sweet after initial introductions. She is a very strong pup with a strong personality. She has done wonderfully here with us (quite a bit of anxiety after leaving the humane society) but as our kids get older and into competitive sports, we need to rehome Coco. Finding care for her often is becoming too difficult.

De Soto, KS

Size

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

Details

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

Story

I found Violet in a ditch at a high school last April. I have raised her with 5 of my other dogs, which are both large and small. She has had a very good life. We live on 2.5 acres and she and the other dogs have learned to use the doggie door, so they go in and out as they please. I am going through a divorce and will be moving to a smaller place and I want her to have a home with a spacious yard. She is very smart, loyal, and loving. Food motivated for training. She loves to be outside and also be involved in what you are doing. However, in the evenings, she needs cuddle time on the couch :). I believe she is about a year old. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her shots and rabies. She has a great temperament. She is good with all dogs, standoffish to people she doesn't know at first, but warms up quickly. She would be happy to be by herself with her favorite human or she can join a pack.

Story

Avery loves her people and to snuggle. She has an overall happy and playful demeanor. We know you will fall in love with all 65 lbs of her with her sweet and goofy personality. While we love her dearly, we recently have learned our kids are allergic. Avery also has some ongoing health challenges. Avery has hypothyroidism and chronic ear/skin infections. She is also allergic to yeast (her primary ear infections). She needs someone who can prevent and treat the recurring infections with medicated baths and medications. We would like to find someone who understands her needs and can help her get well.

Oakley

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Gardner, KS

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Oakley is a neutered 3 year old (will be 4 in August) purebred long haired German Shepherd, but he does not have papers. He is fully up to date with his vaccinations and was just given his preventative for fleas and ticks on 03/15 that is good for 3 months. However, he will need an updated heart worm test for further heart worm preventatives. He is crate and potty trained and knows basic commands. He also is microchipped and I believe it can be transferred over. Oakley is so loving and full of energy. His best fit would be a home with no other pets. He has been showing aggression towards our other dog and cats lately and we can’t take any risks of our kids getting caught in the middle.
