Story
COURTESY LISTINGCOURTESY LISTINGPlease contact Timothy Casteel 816-853-0482for more information! Hi! My name is Henry James. I’m a ten month old Siberian Husky. I am full of energy. I play well with my dog friends. I have not been around cats or children to know if I am compatible. My current mom and dad adopted me last June. They have worked really hard to find the food that I like, to crate train me, to house train me, and to love me. I really love, love, love to play - inside and outside. My mom and dad had a life change that will take them on the road for extended periods of time. Because of this, I’m looking for a new forever home. My new home will need to continue working on my training. I come when called; I sit on command; I show them what I want through my behavior. I am neutered and my vaccinations are current. I am walked on lead with a harness. My backyard is rather large. That is where I run free. Mom and dad don’t let me run free outside. I like being with someone, and I like hanging out in the yard by myself. Please contact my dad for additional information.

Story
COURTESY LISTINGCOURTESY LISTING   Molly is a beautiful 1-year-old black Labrador Retriever with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who absolutely loves being part of the action and spending time with her people.   Like many young Labs, Molly has lots of energy and would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise and attention. She would make an excellent jogging or hiking buddy and would love a home where she can be included in daily adventures.   Molly does well sleeping in her kennel at night and is comfortable resting there when needed. She isn’t a big fan of being alone for long periods, but she settles nicely in her crate and will happily let you know when she’s ready to start the day!   When meeting new dogs, Molly can be a little vocal at first, but once she has a chance to sniff and get acquainted, she does just fine. She would likely do best with another confident larger dog who won’t challenge her. Because Molly is still learning just how big and strong she is, she would probably do best in a home without small dogs or small children. She does, however, do well with cats.   A fenced yard would be ideal for Molly so she can safely run, play, and burn off some of that young Lab energy. Molly has been spayed, vaccinated and weighs approx. 75 Lbs.   If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion who will happily join you for runs, outdoor adventures, and plenty of fun, Molly might just be the perfect match!   Please complete the Furry Kids' Adoption Application and we will forward it to her owners.

Story
Loki is a sweet, loving dog, very cuddly and honorary at the same time. He prefers to be an only dog because he needs all your attention. He is great on the leash to go on walks, but he lovess squirrels. He is 3 years old. We are looking for a home with a well sized backyard and somebody who won’t be gone for more than five hours a day constantly, he’s kind of food aggressive, so you have to make sure he can’t get into the food container (if you have one). Every dog has their own needs and Loki has some behavioral issues like getting in the trash and grabbing food off the counter, but if trained or gets training lessons, he would be a fantastic dog for somebody who can love him and give him the time he needs to flourish.
