Story
Shiloh: 8yo male poodle FIXED & utd. 60lbs Nora: 2yo female bernedoodle FIXED & utd. 65lbs We got Shiloh at 6 years old with the intention of never rehoming him, however he has such high prey drive and we have such a crazy life that we simply cannot keep him. He will need a fenced yard with absolutely zero small pets; no cats, birds, rodents, snakes... nothing. He even managed to eat my tortoises. He is perfect on every way besides that; loves people, kids, other dogs, crate trained, potty trained, is LAZY and literally moves from my room in the morning to the couch to have his *just woke up morning power nap* and sleeps most of the day. Nora is almost perfect as well- lazy, loving, however it takes her far too long to warm up to new people and she doesn't like to go out in public. This is problematic with our lifestyle and it would be better for both dogs if they went to a new home together. Nora is spayed and she must go with Shiloh, as this will be the easiest transition for both

Story
Girvyn is such a sweet boy. It breaks our hearts to have to do this. Our lives have changed so drastically since we got him, we are constantly gone, and it just isn’t fair to him. This boy is 4 years old and has so much energy. He needs someone who has time to run or hike or go for long walks with him, take him to dog parks, etc. We’ve definitely noticed he seems sad and frustrated because of not getting the attention and togetherness he wants. I am a dog groomer who works in a holistic pet food store so it is important to me to find someone who will keep up with feeding him healthy, and have him bathed and nails trimmed regularly for his health. He is so much fun, so goofy and very loving, great with our cat, and our kids, he’s always had good reports at daycare, and does great with other dogs, just don’t leave food out around him, he will thieve things. Any questions, just ask!

Kona

Rottweiler

Female, Young
Blue Springs, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Kona is a very sweet and playful 6-month old (05/2026) girl and great around toddlers! Her owner had a heart attack and is no longer able to care for her. She still requires some training but picks up on commands very well. She has learned to sit and lay down, as well as using the bathroom outside, however she does still have some accidents inside. I think with some focused training, she would be a wonderful addition to your family and she deserves a loving home.

Story
We got Baxter from another pet adoption site, he is 4. Baxter needs to be in a home with an adult, he will sometimes play rough and nip because he was not socialized at an early age and has not been around younger children. He needs to be socialized so that he can be around other animals also. He can be grumpy about his food and is territorial about it. As a Havanese dog, he needs a lot of attention and tends to be less afraid of women than men. He likes to be outdoors and loves fetching balls, HE GETS THE ZOOMIES!!! Once that he trusts a person he is loyal and loving to that individual. He is very well potty trained, and he will let you know when he needs to go, never has had any accidents. He has a big heart and needs a lot of love and we hope he will find a loving and patient home.
