He’s a little over 2 years old and full of playful, goofy energy. He thrives in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run and play to his heart’s content. He does best with older kids and is a wonderfully protective, affectionate companion who adores fetch and loves nothing more than being right by your side.

Story
Togo is a wonderful puppy, he is shy of five months old but has learned a lot in his short time. He is very obedient and playful. He is almost potty trained. He spends all night in his crate. He loves to be outside, even if it is just to lay on the grass. He very much prefers the colder weather and resists being outside in warm weather, which is very normal for his breed. He loves to go on walks and get his belly rubbed. He is great around kids, other dogs, and my cat.

Story
I’m completely heartbroken to have to try and rehome my companion and emotional support animal. I’m approaching retirement and will be moving to my wife’s home. She has two dogs and does not want another. I answered an ad on a FB Swapshop page a few years back, looking to rehome him after his owner unexpectedly passed away. I instantly fell in love with him from his picture. I was afraid that some idiot might take him and allow him to be subjected to cruelty. He has lived with me since 2024. I work 12 hr shifts and not once has he had an accident inside while I was working. I’ve always felt guilty leaving him alone for any amount of time. He is afraid of storms, fireworks, and loud noises in general. I’m hoping that an experienced Pittie parent will want him and give him the life that he deserves. He is the sweetest, most gentle dog that I’ve ever seen. I’m also hoping that someone else will facilitate his move, as I will not be emotionally able to deal with it.

Excelsior Springs, MO
Size

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Sweetie! 🐾❤️ Sweetie is looking for a loving, patient forever home where she can feel safe, comfortable, and get the attention she deserves. Sweetie needs a home where she can be the only pet, as she hasn’t been able to comfortably coexist with the other animals in her current household. Due to circumstances beyond her control, I haven’t been able to give her the freedom and one-on-one attention I’d like her to have. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but I believe she deserves a home where she can truly thrive. I’m looking for someone who will be patient with her, love her, and make her part of the family. A safe, permanent home is my priority. I want to make sure she’s going somewhere she’ll be cherished. Located in the Excelsior Springs, Missouri area. Please reach out if you think you could be the right fit for Sweetie. ❤️

Story
Meet Baxter, the Goodest Boy! 🐾 Baxter is a 4–5-year-old, 70 lb Red Heeler/Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever home! Unfortunately, his previous owner had to give him up due to limited space, a busy work schedule, and a lack of resources to rehome him. He is currently staying with a foster family in Liberty, MO. Baxter is sweet, affectionate, loves cuddles, treats, people, and playing outside. He is neutered, potty trained, knows sit, shake, and lay down, and is good with kids and cats. He has no bite history but needs slow introductions with other dogs. His ideal home would have a large fenced yard or plenty of land to explore. Baxter has so much love to give and deserves a family to call his own! ❤️

Purebred red and white Irish setter with great temperament! Riley is a certified AKC dog that is 6 years old. She is energetic, friendly, and very sweet. She requires a lot of exercise and loves to run around, and does great with kids and other dogs. She is kennel trained and house trained. Due to a busy work schedule and the addition of a new child, it has become difficult to find the time to give her the attention she needs.
