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
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
Hans is a young male dog. He is around 2 years old. We got him as a puppy at a shelter. He is neutered and microchipped. As is any young dog, he is full of energy. Great around young kids. We just have a large family with busy schedules. He just needs more attention than we can give him. Hans would make anyone or any family happy. He likes to run and play, so he needs the attention to play with, take on walks, etc. Very friendly dog.

Story
Dolly is a SWEET girl and incredibly smart. She loves walks, running, sitting on laps, playing, car rides, and simply following her people room to room. She is highly food motivated making learning basic commands such as sit, shake and to get into her kennel very easy. She is estimated at about 2 years old. The best home for her is one where she can be exercised multiple times a day, whether that being walked, running or just getting in the car and where she can cozy on a lap on the downtime. She is trained to sleep in a kennel and is very good in it but would LOVE to sleep in bed as well!

Chase

Golden Retriever

Male, Adult
Shawnee, KS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

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
Chase has learned to live with our cat & I've seen him play well with small dogs. He does have medium/big dog fear aggression. I asked previous owner if he had been bitten by another dog or a wild animal, they said no. He has been a part of our family for 3.5 years & isn't as reactive with other dogs as he used to be. That's to say, if he is a good distance he doesn't growl and lunge as much. Chase needs an experienced adopter with plenty of room to roam in his own private yard without medium/big dogs nearby. I have talked with a couple of trainers & they think it's likely he can be trained out of his fear aggression. This would be from a knowledgeable owner or trained professional. He loves people & attention. I would caution that he isn't in a home with small children just because he hasn't lived with young children in our home or with original owner. He really is very sweet like Golden Retrievers are known for, he just has some special needs.
