Story
Kurt, aka Meatball, was supposed to be a foster from a local rescue but turned into an adoption. Kurt has been with us for almost 2 years now, vet said he's 5. He is pure happiness. Kurt is a lover not a fighter. All he wants to do is cuddle with you 24-7. He LOVES car rides, to snuggle you, & gently eat doggie biscuits. He is goofy & makes you laugh on a consistent basis. He does not get along with my daughter's cats, thinks they're squirrels. He has never shown aggression towards our other dog nor any other dogs we have encountered. My older dog did not take to Kurt -- otherwise zero issues with any other dogs. He is great with my 4th grade daughter, & has been great with friends'/neighbors' toddlers & grade schoolers. We think he'd do really well in a home where his family/owner(s) have more time & attention they can give to him. He deserves to be loved & craves it. He wants to love his people. Adoption fee negotiable for right home. Comes w/food. Be his forever family!

Story
I adopted cash a year and half ago. The vet estimated him to be around 2-3 years old so he’s about 3-4 now. I now have to relocate and can’t take him with me. It breaks my heart. Cash is such a good dog. He is fully potty trained. He is a cuddler and loves to give attention. He loves to play as well when the time is right. He listens very well. He has been around young children and acted perfectly fine. Not sure if he would get along with other dogs. Very big people person. Especially women. An ideal home that would be perfect would be someone or a family who is home enough to give him attention and loves playtime occasionally. He is a very easy dog to maintain and keep happy. He loves all food!

Story
Meet Willow 🐶 Willow is a loving and versatile companion. She can be the calmest, most cuddly lap dog, but she also has the energy to run and play in a big open field when the moment calls for it. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, and she’s been raised in a full house—with cats, other dogs, and kids ranging from babies to older children. She’s never shown any aggression, never bitten, and has never even chewed up a toy. Willow is fully crate trained and potty trained. The only area she could use a little work is leash walking—she tends to get a bit excited and eager to explore. With a bit of focused training, I know she’d catch on quickly.

Lofn

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Chiweenie

Female, Adult
Sweet Springs, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lofn is a 2.5 year old spaniel mix who loves to snuggle and has absolutely no concept of personal space. She gets along with cats and dogs when introduced slowly due to anxiety, she is fixed with minimal medical history beyond being fixed, having her rabies shot, and a surgery when she was less than a year old due to an accident that resulted in two rib fractures and a collapsed lung (neither of which seems to give her any problems to this day as she apparently has the compulsion to run in circles onto every bit of furniture as fast as she possibly can at least once a day). No known allergies or intolerances, she has been on a variety of different dry food brands over her lifetime and has eaten without problem other than seeming to not care for chicken flavor.

Story
Hi, I'm Thanos! I am a large young adult terrier mix. I am a huge goofball who loves to romp around, play with toys and tug. I'm a higher energy dog and need an outlet for exercise and silliness. Shelter staff have started teaching me some manners, but I will require continued training. I have a history of not getting along with other dogs, and I'm not sure how I feel about cats yet. If you can provide the structure and physical activity I need, you will find a best friend in me!
