King

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Senior
Shawnee, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
King is a senior German Shepherd who is still full of life and enjoys being playful and active. He is a loyal, affectionate dog who loves attention and being around his people. King grew up around children, but he would do best in a calm home with mostly adult interaction where he can relax and receive plenty of love. He has done well with other dogs, especially smaller dogs. One of his sweetest quirks is that he loves stuffed animals and treats them like his “babies,” carrying them around. King enjoys walks and would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can play. King just had a vet visit, shots are up to date including rabies, negative heartworm test. King will come with his belongings including his stuffed animals, bed, food bowls, remaining dog food, etc.

Vinny

German Shepherd Dog American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young
Shawnee, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Vinny from a shelter that had received him as a stray 5 days prior so little was known about him. They estimated his age at 1.5 years, but our vet thinks more like just under a year and his behavior does reflect that. We are only rehoming him because he doesn’t get along with our 8 year old beagle. He is friendly with all people and other dogs. He is easily trainable, walks well on leash and knows several commands- sit, shake, down, wait, come, and post. He is energetic and loves to play but also snuggles during quiet time. He likes fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, and all toys. He will be your best friend because he likes to be right by your side. He is a GREAT dog who should probably be the only pet in the home.

Chase

Golden Retriever

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

Bosch

Boxer

Male, Puppy
Shawnee, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We have had Bosch for almost 3 years, since he was about 3 weeks old. He is a sweet boy and we really want to find a loving home for him. He is great with our daughters and all the neighborhood kids. He has no history of biting humans at all. He is essentially house trained, other than some issues with him peeing in the house occasionally when we are gone, typically in the same 2 spots. I put “good with dogs” because he typically is good with dogs he gets to know. The main issue we have had is that we have our kids and neighborhood kids in and out all the time and he does look for opportunities to get out and run the neighborhood. Twice now we have had incidents where different neighbors were walking their dogs when he got out and he was pretty aggressive with the dogs. No major damage done, almost as if he is aggressively playing, but he has bitten the dogs. We just can’t keep him with the amount of opportunities he has to get out and have this potentially keep happening.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maylie is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd who loves to run and explore! She is smart, curious, and loves to follow her people around. With more kids in the mix, we are unable to give her the full attention and exercise that she craves. Has great behavior and temperament, but still a little hyper and “puppy-like”. She is fully potty trained. Looking for a loving home, people who could run with her, take her to the dog park, and help stimulate her. She will come with a dog bed, kennel, food and water bowls, toys, etc.
