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
My husband is battling cancer and is 88 yrs old with balance issues. We agreed to watch this dog for a couple of weeks for our son until he could find him another home (he got him from a friend of his). Our son was evicted and had no place for the dog to go. We cannot keep this dog much longer. It is our understanding that this dog prefers a one dog home - we have no other animals so not sure about other dogs or cats. He is good with our 3yr old granddaughter and is well trained.

Story
I adopted Reba from KC Pet Project almost 3 years ago. She was clearly mistreated in her prior life. She can still be a little skittish in certain situations. She loves kids! She has never attacked another dog. Hasn't been around a lot of other dogs but seems like she is fine with them. She is territorial in her own yard. My daughter's cat lived with us for a year and she was fine with him. I have no choice but to find her a good home because I can't take her with me where I'm moving because of breed restrictions. Reach out with any other questions. I am happy to answer them!

Story
Meet Cow (Cowboy). He’s an 8 month old Labrabull. He’s a playful loveable lil guy (maybe not so little) and he’s looking for a family to bring him home. Not neutered yet. He recently graduated his first round of puppy classes with flying colors 🎉 Crate trained. Takes a daily 2 mile walk and is doing great with leash training. House trained. Up to date on vaccines. Chipped. Does great with baths. Good with kids! We aren’t wanting to rehome him due to bad behavior, we’ve made the tough decision bc of a recent health diagnosis and not having the capacity to give a puppy the time and attention he deserves. We love Cow a lot and want him to find someone who will love him and give him a caring and safe home. Someone willing to walk him and give home room to run and play.
