Special Needs

Willy

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy

Odessa, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We answered an ad from our local paper from an older gentleman who said he had raised blue heelers for years (Wily is red). We got Willy home and noticed soon after that he was deaf. This made it difficult for us to train him as a cattle dog so our son’s family took him and we got another blue heeler. However, now that the kids are in school and in several activities, Willy is not getting the attention he needs and although they give him toys to play with in their absence, he finds other valuable things he’d rather chew up. That family doesn’t have the time or patience to train a deaf 6 month old puppy. Willy has a sweet disposition but he does like to be in charge if given the choice. He would do well with a family or individual that could give him more attention, teach him hand signals, make sure he’s not near the car when pulling out. This is typical puppy behavior with the added challenge of hearing impairment but Willy has a sweet personality to compensate for any deficiency.

Dewey

American Bulldog

Male, 6 yrs 3 mos

Warrensburg, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I'm Dewey! I am a large adult American Bulldog. I'm a moderate energy dog who enjoys a good romp around the yard. I do better with calmer dogs over hyper dogs and have a history of being selective. Homes with older children or adults only would suit me best, I don't really understand how big I am. I am both treat and toy motivated so it would be easy to teach me new skills. If you're looking for a goofy, independent chill dog, I'm your dog!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I'm Scrappy! My owner surrendered me because she was moving and couldn't take me with her. I'm two years old, and very good with people and even strangers! I'm crate trained, good with dogs and love to sit on your lap and be a "couch potato"! I'm very affectionate and playful. I know commands: "Sit", "Down" and "Stay"! Won't you consider me for your home and keep me forever? Please?

Thanos

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Warrensburg, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I'm Thanos and I came into the shelter as a stray on 12/29/2023 and have become one of the longest residents here. Although the shelter staff loves me, I'd rather be in a warm, safe and dry home environment with people who love me and will provide the attention I desire. Sometimes I don't know my own strength and will jump up but don't intend to be rude or pushy--I just crave attention! I do know some basic commands, but without someone working with me daily (more than my daily walks and people passing by my kennel looking for a forever companion), I forget until I'm reminded again. I'd do much better in an "adult only" home or home with children 13 or over due to my size and strength when I'm being playful. I have a history of not getting along with other dogs, so I'd prefer to be the only dog in the household. If you can provide the structure and physical activity I need, you will find a best friend in me!
