Story

Hi there&#44 Im Raider! What do you need to know about me? I adore ALL people including kiddos. Strangers (including kiddos) come for a visit&#44 and I love it! I am also house&#44 and kennel trained. I dont need to be kenneled at all because Im a super good boy free roaming by myself in the home too! A very good boy in the home and on car rides too. AND I love my toys - all of them. Squeaky toys&#44 sports balls such as a basketball and soccer ball&#44 ropes&#44 plush toys. The list goes on and on. Im a squeaky toy enthusiast too! Give me a toy that makes noise and Im the happiest pup around. Im also a smart boy too. I already know the following commands: sit&#44 shake&#44 down wait and learning leave it. My shake is simply adorable or so Im told. Get this: Foster dad (FD) is not a dog person at all. He is fine with foster mom (FM) fostering and she has fostered some really cool dogs for the last 20 years. BUT - FD told FM that Im one of the very bestest foster dogs shes ever brought home. How about them apples? Pretty neat if you ask me. So&#44 if you are a dog lover but your partner is so so on dogs - please think about me. I promise you I will win your partner over. You know what Id love even more than all the toys in the world? A person(s) to share life with. Im 5 years old&#44 and life hasnt always been easy. I was found alone in a field by animal control&#44 but Ive put the past behind me and am ready to find a home where I can be someones whole world! People are my favorite. I dont need much&#44 just a soft blanket&#44 a few squeaky toys&#44 and someone to hang out with. Im happiest when I can be near you. If youre working&#44 Ill curl up on the floor next to you and keep you company. If youre relaxing&#44 Ill be right there too. Im loyal&#44 quiet (except when Im squeaking my toys)&#44 and full of love! I do need to be the only pet in your home&#44 no other dogs or cats for me please. But I promise&#44 I have more than enough love to go around. If youre looking for a sweet&#44 steady companion who just wants to be near you&#44 Im your guy. Im living in a foster home (lovin the home environment) so email/call (information below) and lets get a meeting set up - ok? Super excited to meet you. All my love and kisses&#44 Raider xxxxxxx adoptions@greatplainsspca.org or call (913) 831-7722 (SPCA)

Story

Someone here got fancy with the spelling of my name&#44 right? Spell it or pronounce my name any way you want&#44 just so Im in your mind and my name is on your tongue. Im Rokko&#44 a 2-year-old&#44 super handsome big hunk of mutt with a red merle coat and eyes as blue as a summer sky. (At least&#44 thats what everyone tells me... I cant see my own eyes&#44 but I trust them!) Im a certified goofball&#44 a professional tail-wagger&#44 and an aspiring make-you-smile specialist. Honestly&#44 making humans happy is my favorite job. If I can brighten your day with a goofy grin&#44 a clumsy cuddle&#44 or a joyful zoomie&#44 then Im living my best life. I adore tennis balls and would love for you to throw them so I can chase them - those little round things bring me much joy. I know the commands sit and down and would love for you to teach me more. Ive got springs for paws&#44 so I can jump high and bounce and hop my way into your heart. My picture may make me look like a buttoned up gentleman who always has a stiff upper lip&#44 but dont let that fool you-Im silly as silly can be at heart. I would love nothing more than to be your loyal buddy. Walks? Yes please! Snacks? Absolutely! Belly rubs? Say no more! If youre looking for a sweet&#44 wonderful fella whos ready to love you with his whole goofy heart&#44 then I think we might be perfect for each other. Come meet me today... Ill be the one wagging so hard my whole-body wiggles! Love always&#44 Rokko xxxxx

Story

The name is Missy and if youre looking for a loyal&#44 lovable companion with just the right mix of sass and sweetness&#44 allow me to reintroduce myself. Im gentle-hearted&#44 a little shy at first&#44 but once I warm up (a few treats help)&#44 Im all about the good vibes only. I love toys&#44 belly rubs&#44 and snack time like its my full-time job. And when I get comfortable? Oh&#44 the kisses and tail wags dont stop. I love a good play and romp with other dogs. I walk like Ive got a purpose&#44 because I do&#44 right next to you. I already know sit&#44 down&#44 drop it and sometimes even shake (because I do like to work it!). And yes&#44 I LOVE to fetch tennis balls and bring them right back like a pro. Missy dont miss. Id do best in a calm home&#44 ideally with no kiddos under 12&#44 just a chill vibe where I can truly shine. If youre patient and kind&#44 I promise Ill flip it and reverse it into a beautiful friendship. Great example is I was in a foster home and properly met 3 well-behaved kiddos (5&#44 7 and 10). They were instructed to allow me to make the first move to meet them. It took no time for me to go up to them and greet them. Then&#44 we had super time together with them throwing balls and me bringing them back&#44 dropping the ball so they could throw again. Lets take it slow... and make some magic. Love&#44 Missy

Story

I wont lie-my life didnt start out easy. I was left behind&#44 sick&#44 skinny&#44 and hurting. I didnt know if people would be kind to me again. I didnt know if anyone would see me for more than what Id been through. But even after everything... I still believe in love and that people are truly awesome! Hi Im Homer - the handsomest&#44 most affectionate and sweetest most down to earth fella at the shelter right now. Ive learned how to play with tennis balls and even learned how to do a sit on command AND I will put my front paw out for a pawshake! Ohhhhh&#44 I love to learn new things and be with my humans. YES - despite the pain and neglect I faced&#44 I still want to be with people. I was adopted out to a wonderful family for a short time. Turns out I love car rides to anywhere&#44 kids who will love me back&#44 long naps next to my person&#44 lying in the sunshine&#44 a blanket that I can use as my pacifier&#44 and all the affection you can muster. Im even housebroken and crate trained. I have so much to offer&#44 and honestly&#44 I dont understand why Im still here. I used to catch everyones eye. You humans wanted to meet me. Now&#44 for some unknown reason&#44 no one ever asks about me anymore. I know I need you more than anything now! Dont be deterred; Im here&#44 and I want to get to know you. I hope someone out there is looking for a dog like me-quiet&#44 loyal&#44 and endlessly forgiving. Oh&#44 did I forget to mention FUN? When I look into your eyes&#44 I dont just see a person-I see possibility. A future. A friend. If youre looking for a dog who will appreciate every kind word&#44 every gentle touch&#44 every promise kept... Im right here waiting ever so patiently for you to come for me.

Story

Hi&#44 Im Paulie! A gorgeous chocolate brown boy with the most spectacular speckles on my chest! I was found doing one of my favorite activities: runnin around! Ive got energy to burn and am looking for the right family to keep me entertained! I love toys and am always up for a play session. Plus&#44 I do well with other dogs my size who match my energy. I have several human besties at the shelter. Dont tell anyone but I may have a fav and her name is Peggy. Peggy and Paulie!!. She takes me on car rides&#44 which I love&#44 and she says I am an excellent passenger. Peggy drives me to a park&#44 and we so enjoy getting away from the shelter plus she has taught me many commands. I know sit&#44 watch me&#44 wait&#44 leave it&#44 and come. After we have been at the park&#44 working on our commands&#44 it is time for snuggles and gentle massages. It is a perfect ending to our time together. One of my other besties&#44 Summer&#44 is teaching me to walk well with a Halti and I am doing outstanding. Watch us in my video and you will be impressed! If you have an active home with adults and older children&#44 then I could be a great addition. Please come meet me. Love&#44 Paulie Featuring photos by Caley Clark Photography

Story

Diamond is a Doll! Yep&#44 thats what I hear through the halls of this shelter every single day. Im Diamond&#44 a shiny&#44 sparkly&#44 charismatic young girl who is smart&#44 sweet&#44 gorgeous&#44 confident&#44 friendly&#44 protective&#44 and a cuddle bug extraordinaire. I adore my toys (especially the squeaky ones)&#44 and nothing makes me happier than a good play session followed by a cozy cuddle. Im also a big fan of other doggies&#44 too. More on that in a minute. My owner had to give me up after developing allergies. I was so confused when I first arrived at the shelter. It wasnt my typical doggie day care situation&#44 but I thought for a while my mom was coming back. But she never did. Ive gotten used to my new friends here now&#44 and Im letting my little light shine so brightly. Ive got a wonderful personality - Im full of fun and happiness. I like to make you feel like you are the center of my universe! In my former home&#44 I spent considerable time on my own. But I was a good girl and never caused any trouble. I was always good about meeting new people - nobody is a stranger to me! If my mom traveled&#44 I went to boarding and doggie day care. Thats where I developed my love for other dogs&#44 and I learned to play well with my four-legged friends. Im very affectionate and sweet natured. If I havent seen you in awhile&#44 my only bad habit is I have to jump up and give you a hug! I want to show you how thrilled I am that you have finally returned to me&#44 and my life is good again. In my old home&#44 I would stand still for my mom to wipe my feet and my patootie if Id been out in the back yard and it was muddy. Of course Im house trained&#44 and Im kennel trained as well - go to your room was the command to get me to go inside and sleep. I like to sit and look out the window and people watch or squirrel watch. Its my own form of television. Although I would love to watch regular TV with you if youd just invite me to join you. Popcorn could be a good treat when watching some of those rom-com movies. I also know Im a lap dog&#44 so be prepared to share yours with me. I truly enjoy baths and sunbathing as often as I can. Are you ready for an adorable&#44 loving and friendly girl to share your life with? Im sure ready for you. I promise Ill love you to the moon and back. Love from Diamond
