Story

Looking for a perfect home for this fella. Kiko is an indoor pet with a big heart for chasing bunnies and squirrels. Needs a fenced yard to play. We think he is a deer beagle. 3years old current shots and neutered. Kiko is potty pad trained and kind of spoiled. Adding that this guy is skiddish around other animals though he is fine with his shih tzu brother. He also seems to dislike hats and barks at his human dad until he gets a treat. Looking for an experienced pet owner only, with a fenced in yard.

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

I bet youve never met a dog that knows as many commands as I do! Hi Im Emmett. Im a young&#44 big and handsome guy with big potential and big love in my heart. I enjoy running&#44 jumping&#44 playing&#44 and exploring. I recently returned from Pups for Paroles where I learned a bunch of good stuff for my new home with you. I now know the following commands: Sit&#44 Down&#44 Wait&#44 Stay and I will Come to you when called. I also enjoy other dogs so if you have a dog&#44 please bring him/her to meet me - ok? I did mention that Im big&#44 right? I am&#44 but there are so many positives to adopting a big dog like me. We make great exercise buddies&#44 we can make you feel very safe on a walk or in the home&#44 we are usually gentle and affectionate dogs&#44 we have larger personalities so that means more fun&#44 and we are loyal&#44 more tolerant and easy to train. We have more patience&#44 too; and we dont have that silly Napoleon Complex that smaller dogs may have. Sometimes youll see that a big dog seems more like a human&#44 too - ever notice that for yourself? Thats why we make the best of friends! Did you know it is so much harder if you are a big dog to get adopted out from a shelter? Not because we arent loving and wonderful and great all around pups. Its because some peoples living arrangements arent always good for large dogs. So it means longer shelter stays for us and more stress and greater loneliness. If you can adopt a larger dog&#44 please do. All of us would be so grateful! The wait is endless is seems. I am a sweet and affectionate companion&#44 and I would love to go on walks and learn more new tricks to show off. One thing everyone notices about me is how well I jump so I would love a large yard with high fences where I can run around and play safely. My friends here think Im pretty perfect. And they keep telling me everything is gonna be ok&#44 that my family will find me. But nobody wants to meet me&#44 so how will I get a home? Why in the world dont you want to get to know me? Ive got love and joy and sweetness written all over me. I try so hard to be what you want in a dog&#44 but you just dont see me. Please&#44 please give a big dog like myself a chance. We have twice the love and devotion in our big hearts than all the smaller dogs combined. I sure wish we can meet so we can fall in love. Forever yours&#44 Emmett xoxoox

Story

I wont lie-my life didnt start out easy. I was left behind&#44 sick&#44 skinny&#44 and hurting in more ways than one. I didnt know if people could be kind. 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 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 put my front paw for a paw/handshake! Ohhhhh&#44 I love to learn new things and be with the human race. 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&#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 hope someone out there is looking for a dog like me-quiet&#44 loyal&#44 and endlessly forgiving....and FUN. When I look into your eyes&#44 I dont just see a person-I see possibility. A future. A friend. Ive healed - Im stronger&#44 learned trust&#44 and grew back the fur I lost to fleas and fear. My ears are now great&#44 my body filled out (maybe a bit too much)&#44 and my heart? Full of love for you. If youre looking for a dog who will appreciate every kind word&#44 every gentle touch&#44 every promise kept... Im right here. With all my heart&#44 Homer Featuring photos by Krystle-Lee Photography

Story

Hi&#44 Im Leon. Im a 2-year-old retriever mix with a gentle heart and a story thats a little blurry around the edges. Im not really sure how I ended up here - life didnt start easy for me - but I do know this: Im finally beginning to feel safe&#44 and Im dreaming of a home where I can blossom. I can be shy and nervous when I first meet new people or encounter new things. Im the kind of dog who needs someone with patience&#44 kindness&#44 and a soft voice - someone who understands that trust takes time&#44 and that slow&#44 steady love can change everything. Once I feel secure&#44 youll see the real me: a sweet&#44 sensitive boy who wants so badly to belong. Im not much of a player when it comes to doggy friends&#44 but I coexist very nicely with calm&#44 respectful dogs who wont push me into games Im not ready for. If you have kids&#44 older ones (12+) would be best for me - the quick movements and excitement of younger children can be a little overwhelming for a guy like me. What Im really hoping for is a special person who will show me that the world can be gentle... that Im safe... and that Im worthy of love. If you think you might be that person&#44 Id love the chance to meet you. - With hope&#44 Leon
