Story
Angel is a sweet, affectionate pup with a big heart and a playful spirit. She’s grown up alongside a cat, so she’s already used to having furry companions around. One of her cutest habits? She’s a bit mouthy—not in a biting way, but she loves to gently “hold” your hand with her mouth to show affection. Angel thrives outdoors and absolutely loves playtime, especially a good game of catch! Fair warning—she’s still perfecting the “bring it back” part. 😊 She’s full of energy and would do best with a family that can give her the time, attention, and activity she craves. She’s kennel trained, but when left alone for long periods, she can get anxious and may chew or damage things near her crate (like carpet or walls). Because of this, she’d do best in a home where she can be part of the daily routine. Angel is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to be part of a family that has the time to help her shine. Please contact to setup a time to meet her!

Story
We adopted Archie (black lab mix, 2.5 yr old, 60 lbs.) from KCK Animal Services on May 9, 2024. Sadly, we are desperate for help with surrendering him. We have tried to make adjustments and make it work for a year now, but he is not a good fit for our home. Archie is a great dog with lots of energy. He loves to play outside and run around. He enjoys playing fetch and chasing after any size ball! He is good with other dogs and has been great with our kids. Our house is a busy house and he struggles with new people coming and going all the time. It wasn't until Archie was at our house that we started to see concerns related to fear and stranger reactivity. He is house broken and crate trained and loves lots of attention.

Story
Arthur would do best in a single dog home. He is not great with other dogs although he loves my other GSD. A farm like location with lots of land to run would be ideal. He has become very protective of me and I can’t have anyone over without him growling. Because of this he has to be kenneled all the time and that is not fair to him. He is a good dog, just not a good fit for my home. All shots and Dr visits up to date.

Story
Hudson is 3 to 4 years old and weighs 77 lbs . He is neutered and up to date on vaccines , is on a monthly heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick. Hudson has been an apartment dog since being adopted 2 years ago . He is pretty mellow as he likes to nap and lounge on the couch alot. He does get to go for some walks and loves them. They are very limited as it is risky that we run into another dog. He is reactive so he don't get much exercise . He is a big cuddle bug and wants to be with me or on me all the time. Hudson love to give kisses. He loves his treats and dinner time. He lets me bath him, trim his nails, clean his ears, brush his teeth. He does great at the vet for all his pokes. He is is a gentle giant. Hudson needs a home with a yard and no other pets. He needs to be able to run and get exercise . Hudson has had training can sit, lay down go to kennel, shake. He goes to the door and sits to let you know when he needs to go out and go potty. He is very smart!

Story
Bella is a very affectionate and loving girl. She loves her humans and enjoys cuddle time. She is great with young kids. Bella is house trained and enjoys eating in her kennel. We are so sad to rehome her but have had a home / schedule change that does not allow us the time she deserves. Looking for a loving person /family to adopt her as soon as possible so we do not have to put her in a shelter. Bella does occasionally pull on her leash during walks, however, will walk nicely when walked regularly. She gets along great with other dogs.

Wilford

Husky Labrador Retriever

Story
Wilford B is a 10 year old husky looking for the good life. He just wants to chill the day away with you. A window with a view of his flying friends & sneaky squirrels is his day's plans- other than hanging out with you. Not a people dog but up to sniffing the local four-legged neighbors. Talking is not his strong suit- he's a quiet dog- unlike most huskies. Lived 8 years with another dog. Used to being on a chain outside but won't leave the yard if he 'escapes.' Knows a few commands. Good for neighborhood walks or driving around for short errands, but wants the easy life of a lazy dog. Wilford B has been a lovely dog for my late brother, so he may have some anxieties as he re-homes. And we took him for a full workup at the Vet. Healthy. Doesn't like Peanut butter but loves Bacon stuff.
