Story
Hi, I'm Meghan! You may have seen my sneak peek, but in case you haven't, I came to RCHS a few weeks ago, after sustaining a severe injury to my left hind leg. That injury required amputation, but I've recovered well from the surgery and I've been told that now I'm ready to find my furever home! I'm a very wiggly, happy, 2.5 year old boxer. I love people and to make sure you know that, I will give lots of kisses. I also love to go on walks! I'm still working on walking on slick floors, but I'm getting there - I'm sure I'll master it before too long! I'm so looking forward to my very own home, but there's one thing you have to know about me: I can't live with cats - I growl whenever I see a cat, and will try to chase them, so no kitties in my furever home! Are you looking for lots of fun walks and doggie love? If you are, I just might be your girl!

Story
Hi, I'm Mark: Young, single, male with severe anxiety issues, looking for someone wanting a big, soft-hearted companion to chill with. I will pretty much be your shadow once I find you and I will make you happy to call me your own. I will contribute the following in exchange for a place to call home: I will bring you joy every time you give me a treat. (I take medicine every day for anxiety) I will lick the plates and bowls clean so you don’t have to spend so much time doing dishes. I promise they will be spotless. I will let you know when a person comes into our yard, knocks on the door; or even if they just happen to walk by our house and look at us, I mean you never know what they might be thinking. In return I would like a secure place to sleep - with you is my favorite place. I also really feel good on the couch or the big chair. A bowl of water and a bowl for food. I will need a promise to take me for walks and a fenced yard I can run around in. I also loved the dog park I went to. It was great fun! Cats? I don’t really care Chickens? They look fun but not worth chasing Children? I absolutely love the two littles that I live with now. One is 7 and one is 5. They play with me and it is so fun. Other dogs? It will take me a while to feel like they like me, but then we will be good buddies. This is the most important part - it will take me longer than usual to be comfortable with you. I will be very shy until I find my person. This 'person' is the one who takes the time to know me and read my nervous signals. This person will know that I get scared very easily and will take extra steps to get around the scary things. I really want to find my forever person. Please give me a chance to be the best furry pal you have ever known!

Story
Omge Luna is such a cute pup to have. The moment i saw her it was like i knew she was meant for me and for my family but sadly i left for rotation and my landlord is now having an issue with my dogs being there. She is a very playful with either dogs or kids. Adored that about her. She literally loves cuddles and sleeping with others. She always needed to be in the middle when we were about to go to sleep. She is honestly a great dog to have. I adopted her at a shelter my first dog i adopted on my own so having to let her go is truly heartbreaking but i want her to go to someone that is able to truly give her something i was able to, sad to say. Her birthday is about to come up, estimated birthday is on January 20,2025. We have all her paper work. I know wherever or whoever she goes to she’ll be loved and great. She also has a sister, Mimi obviously not related but we got them kinda at the same time. They’ve been growing up together and it truly does break my heart separating them.

Story
Miss Molly is a 8 year old, spayed female, pitbull mix. She was adopted from the Hays Humane Society in 2017 . Molly has grown up on a farm, but recently we had to move to town. Molly is a sweetheart with people, but cannot be trusted around other animals. She has never bit a human, but has attacked other dogs. Due to her aggression with other animals, I would not trust her around small children. This last time she attacked a dog after she got away from the dog walker/trainer while walking around our neighborhood. I have a walker/trainer work with her 3 times a week since April 2025. Molly is energetic and loves to run. I would love for Molly to find a home on a farm.
