Story
Butch is 1.5 years old, he is very sweet, loves to play tug of war and fetch, and he loves to run around the yard. He is a bit timid, but warms up to people quickly. He is needing a good home with people that have space for him to run and play. I have taken him into my care temporarily, his previous owner had posted him online for rehoming due to not having the space or ability to accommodate his high energy. He is not neutered, and he is up to date on vaccines. He has some separation anxiety and is nervous in new places or around new people. He needs an experienced owner or someone that can afford training to help him gain confidence and work on his anxiety. He also needs a home that can provide him room to run, take him for walks, and other mental stimulation/enrichment. He is such a sweetie, but I cannot care for him long term.

Story
Colt is a 6 year old dog. He gets along well with our toddler and baby and our other dogs. He is kennel trained and has a good recall. He is not aggressive but does have a deep bark and will alert when there is someone he does not know. He has never had an accident in the house. Colt is high energy so he stresses out our small older dogs. We were fostering him with the intentions of adopting him after he got to know our dogs but our chihuahua continues to have issues with him after months of trying and different methods used. We are rehoming him of no fault of his own but because we do not have the time or energy to give him the life he deserves with the circumstances.

Story
Ivory is a 4 year old female white German shepherd. She’s potty trained and up to date on vaccines. She stays in her kennel while we’re at work but is out all night with no issues. She loves chewing on her bones/toys and laying with you. We have been fostering her since June but are now looking for a permanent home for her. She is not spayed but we would be willing to contribute $400 to getting her fixed if you adopt her. She was previously in a home with another dog and a young child without issues. We hope we can find a loving home for this sweet girl!

Kodi

Belgian Malinois Husky

Female, Puppy
Raymore, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Kodi after she was found abandoned in a box at a veterinarian's office. She is about 6 months old and such a sweet, playful puppy. She loves going on walks, exploring, meeting new people, and then curling up to sleep right next to you. We truly wish we could keep her, but a recent change in our work schedule means we can't give her the time and attention she deserves. We're looking for a loving, patient home where she'll be part of the family. Kodi is affectionate, curious, energetic, and loyal. We are only asking a small adoption fee to ensure we find serious, committed adopters who will give her a great forever home. She hasn't been spayed yet. But will need to be done in the next few months.

Story
🚨ISO: Wrestling Buddy, Cuddle Enthusiast, Snack Distributor 🚨 Meet Rocko – 56.5 pounds of pure charm, muscle, and mischief wrapped in a pit bull/medium mystery mix. At 4 years old, this guy is in his prime—think of him as the dog version of a chill gym bro who just wants to vibe, play, and occasionally sit on your lap like he's a 10 lb chihuahua. 🐾 What Rocko brings to the table: House-trained? ✔️ Knows “sit,” “high five,” AND “leave it”? ✔️✔️✔️ (Yes, he’s smarter than your ex.) Loves cuddling? You better believe it. He’s basically a weighted blanket with a heartbeat. Dog-friendly with big dogs? Absolutely! He’s here for the WWE backyard edition of tug-of-war. Kid-friendly with older kids? Yep—he’s just not into tiny humans who move like squirrels. Cat tested? Eh… not yet. He might think they’re weird tiny roommates or mysterious snacks. Who’s to say? Rocko would THRIVE in a home with a big fenced yard and a fellow big dog to wrestle with. No dog? No problem—as long as you’re down to play and dish out snuggles like it’s your job. 💸 Adoption Fee: $250 📍 Currently living it up in a foster home 🗓️ Intake Date: 11/17/2022 (he’s been waiting a while… let’s not make him wait until flying cars are real) Apply now to adopt this handsome hunk. He’s got the looks, the personality, and the high-fives—he’s just missing a forever family to show off for.
