Meet Tater – The Bashful Blue Heeler with a Heart of Gold. Tater is a 1 year old Blue Heeler mix with the kindest eyes and the softest soul. He’s timid, sweet, curious, and playful. He can be shy and nervous at first, but once he warms up, you’ll see just how affectionate and gentle he really is. He just needs a little time, a little patience, and a lot of love.

Story
Meet Lacey! Lacey is a beautiful 6-year-old purebred Labradoodle with a heart as soft as her curls. After spending much of her life being used for breeding, Lacey found herself needing a new home when her owners no longer wanted her. She was lovingly taken in by a friend, but due to circumstances beyond their control, they are no longer able to keep her. Despite all the changes she's experienced, Lacey remains one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. She loves nothing more than being close to her people. Lacey will happily sit right beside you—preferably with your hand resting on her. If the petting stops, she'll gently remind you that your job isn't quite finished yet by setting her paw on you. Lacey has a calm, affectionate personality and enjoys simply being near those she loves. She's looking for a family who will cherish her for the wonderful companion she is and give her the forever home she deserves.

Story
Archie's owner recently passed away and he is struggling to figure out what happened to his human. A family friend took him in but they are not experienced terrier owners and do not have the time to spend with Archie that he needs. Archie's a super sweet guy and is current on vaccines and neutered but he does need a patient owner who will work with him on house training and be patient is he navigates a new home. Potential adopters will need a verifiable vet reference. Inquiries should send a text message to 620-223-2888

Story
Foster Update: Shirley is Still Looking for Her Forever Home! Shirley has been thriving in her foster home and we wanted to share a little update on how she's doing. Her foster family reports that Shirley has adjusted wonderfully to home life. She's proven to be a calm, easygoing companion who enjoys spending time with her people and relaxing around the house. Whether she's lounging nearby or soaking up affection, Shirley is happiest simply being part of the house. She's also doing great with the other dogs in her foster home and has shown herself to be a friendly, well-mannered houseguest. Her gentle personality and laid-back nature make her an easy dog to love. While Shirley has been enjoying foster life, what she really needs is a forever family of her own. The only requirement for her future home is that it be cat-free and have time to spend with her as she can show signs from separation anxiety. Shirley has waited patiently for her perfect match, and we know her forever family is out there somewhere. If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion who is already showing what a fantastic house dog she can be, Shirley may be the one for you! She is even sponsored meaning she has NO ADOPTION FEE!! She is already spayed, heartworm tested negative, up to date on vaccinations, and is even microchipped so she is ready to go home.
