Story
This is Country. I adopted him three years ago because he was in a bad situation. He's a super loving, high energy good boy that gets a little nervous sometimes. He doesn't do well around small children or dogs but is fine around bigger kids and cats. He has been in a home with dogs before, but I haven't been able to have him around other dogs. He's the sweetest, most snuggle loving dog around and he deserves a wonderful home and someone to love him all he wants!!!We have to move out of state and unfortunately are unable to take him with us. He had two wonderful homes lined up, but they fell though. Please, please give this good boy a home! The shelters won't take him and he deserves a chance! He is kennel trained and has his own kennel, flea/tick chewies, and toys as well as two beds (well loved) and a blanket. He's 40lbs and probably 6 or 7. Current in shots till this year. He's very loving! He never chews up anything and never goes potty in the house.

Story
Mia is a great dog, I’ve had here since birth, she is very protective of the family and has been aggressive to neighbors and I lack the funds to build a new fence, she has the tendency to escape and roam the neighborhood. I fix the holes that I find but it is getting the point the police are involved because she is a Rottweiler. She is a great guard dog as she has is very alert. I’ve spent thousands in training so she knows all the basic commands, she goes to lay in her bed when you tell her place. She has been trained on lead rope as well as shock collar if you intend to use one. She has never bitten anyone, just doesn’t like anyone on the other side of the fence. She would be a great dog to a great home, loves our kids and plays with our other dogs

Zorii

Boston Terrier

Female, Adult
Grain Valley, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Zorii (like in Star Wars) is a fun and loving purebred Blue Fawn Boston Terrier (can be registered). With one blue eye and one green eye, she has a very unique look! Zorii's a smart dog. She is crate trained and not fully potty trained yet. She was catching on quickly over the past year, until she was able to go outside more with the warm weather, but doesn't have accidents in her kennel and waits to go outside. Since she has a very short face and short fur, she does not do well outdoors above 85 or below 60, but she loves being outdoors if given the chance. Her favorite thing is to sit by you while watching TV or chewing on a good bone. She walks well on a leash if you put her in a front-hooked harness. She is up to date on shots and deworming, as well as heartworm prevention. Zorii would love nothing more than a family with more time to spend with her! Adopt for $500 or best offer.

Labradoodle

Female, Young
Blue Springs, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She was born Feb 2023. I am her Grandmother and my daughter is going back to school out of state. When she adopted her when she was 2 months old she was told she would be a small to medium size Labradoodle. But she is definitely not close to being medium she is larger even at 10 months. She needs a pet parent(s) that will continue to spoil her, that does not have allergies as we do and is able to spend a lot of time with her she loves attention and companionship. She is absolutely beautiful, smart, loving and full of playful energy!!! She knows basic commands, crate trained, potty trained to use a bell at the door, enjoys exercising such as running laps in the backyard and going on trail walks. She is very playful and full of energy. Note: She needs a regular spa day/grooming routine with a groomer trained to groom labradoodles. Also a parent that will need to brush her every day to maintain her healthy and gorgeous coat between her hair appointments.

Story
Boone needs a lot of space to burn energy he has had over 3k in training from a program in Kansas and will need continued work to learn those skills he was taught. he isn’t doing well with our older little dogs and keeping them apart all the time isn’t working out. He is a very smart boy at around 18 months old just needs someone with more time and ability health wise to work with him. He does good with my kids but is still a hyper pup so can get a little rambunctious. He loves being outside, but is a digger and squirrel chaser probably not a good farm dog as he may chase animals. He does okay with my larger dominate female basically just pesters her till she barks and puts him in his place but in her old age she is having a hard time. He could potentially be okay with other larger dogs and has been in a doggy daycare setting before. Key things to note is he is a digger, chewer and hyper but also has so much love to offer and is create trained.
