Story
The name is Missy and if youre looking for a loyal, lovable companion with just the right mix of sass and sweetness, allow me to reintroduce myself.<br/><br/>Im gentle-hearted, a little shy at first, but once I warm up (a few treats help), Im all about the good vibes only. I love toys, belly rubs, and snack time like its my full-time job. And when I get comfortable? Oh, the kisses and tail wags dont stop. <br/><br/>I walk like Ive got a purpose, because I do, right next to you. I already know sit, down, drop it and sometimes even shake (because I do like to work it!). And yes, I LOVE to fetch tennis balls and bring them right back like a pro. Missy dont miss.<br/><br/>Id do best in a calm home, ideally with no kiddos under 12, just a chill vibe where I can truly shine. If youre patient and kind, 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, 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, we had super time together with them throwing balls and me bringing them back, dropping the ball so they could throw again.<br/><br/>Lets take it slow... and make some magic.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Missy

Story
Hi, my name is Sophie, and everything about me fits my name. Im sweet, friendly, loving, and Ive spent four wonderful years being a very good girl in a home. Ill tell you why Im looking for a new place soon - but first, let me tell you a little about me.<br/><br/>Ive got femme-fatale good looks and the brains to match. Im fully house-trained, I do great in a crate, and I adore a fenced-in backyard where I can sunbathe like a tiny, furry supermodel. I know sit, stay, outside, and even high five - Im basically a genius with paws.<br/><br/>As for my ideal home, Im hoping for a calm, cozy place with adults or older kids who understand personal space and good manners. I love predictable routines and gentle humans who appreciate a classy lady like me.<br/><br/>Im loyal, affectionate, and truly wonderful through and through. I just need the right match to help me shine again.<br/><br/>Come meet me! Id really love to find love again.<br/><br/>*Rosie Fund is providing Sophies adopter with a Rosie Life Starter Kit, which is a $100 gift card to purchase items such as a collar and leash, food, treats, toy, and other enrichment items. PLUS B.Legendary Photography Creations has added a $350 photo artwork voucher! Visit rosiefund.org to see videos of Sophie and all current Rosie Dogs available for adoption.

Boxer

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Allison, and Im a 12-year-old boxer mix who has lived through more than I ever expected. Not too long ago, I came to the shelter skinny, confused, and unsure of what would happen next. Life had been a little ruff before I arrived, and I wasnt sure if anyone would ever look at me with kindness again. But the people here showed me that gentle hands and soft voices still exist, and Ive been slowly remembering how good it feels to be loved.<br/><br/>Im still on the thin side, but dont let that fool you. My heart is full, my spirit is sweet, and Im more than ready to settle into a forever home where I can spend my golden years being pampered the way a senior lady deserves. I get along well with other dogs, and if you rub my ears, Ill melt right into you like Ive known you my whole life. I dont ask for much. A warm place to rest, someone who enjoys quiet companionship, and a family who sees the beauty in an older dog who still has so much love left to give.<br/><br/>Im ready to go home. Truly ready. I just need someone who looks at me and sees not a dog from a hard past, but a gentle soul waiting for her soft landing. If youre out there, Im waiting for you.

Hello! My name is Bones! I am a fun little puppy, just learning about the world! I am looking for a home where the people have lots of patience and are willing to give me the attention and training that I need to become a well-behaved dog. In exchange, I will give you cuteness, silliness and many years of affection and companionship. Come to the shelter to meet me!

Akita

Female, Senior
Merriam, KS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Hachi, and Im an eight-year-old Akita mix with a heart thats both tender and fiercely loyal once I know youre truly mine. When we first meet, I might hang back a little and take my time deciding if youre someone I can trust. Akitas are thoughtful like that, and Im no exception. But give me a moment to breathe, let me read your energy, and youll see my whole world soften. Once I choose you, I choose you completely.<br/><br/>Ive lived long enough to know what I like, and Im hoping to find a family who understands the unique quirks that come with being an Akita. Im a golden girl now, so I appreciate a calm home where I can relax without too much chaos. Id prefer to be your one and only pet, not because I dont appreciate other animals, but because I feel safest when I dont have to share my space. Older kids-twelve and up-are just right for me, especially those who know how to move gently and respectfully around a dog who values her boundaries.<br/><br/>Since my joints arent as spry as they used to be, a home with minimal stairs would make my days much more comfortable. I still enjoy strolls, fresh air, and being near my people, but Im happiest when I can settle in a cozy spot and simply exist beside someone who loves me.<br/><br/>If youre an Akita-savvy family looking for a devoted companion who will stand by you with quiet strength and unwavering loyalty, Im ready to meet you. I may start off a little shy, but once I let you in, youll have my whole heart.
