Story
I found Daisy as a stray. She came up to me and it was love at first sight. She instantly loved my husband as well. Unfortunately she does not get along with my other dogs or my son when inside the house. Outside of the home she does great. She loves cuddles and walks and would be an amazing companion for a single person or couple with no other pets. She would also thrive as an outside dog.

Story
Gina Beena is an approximately 3-year-old Australian Kelpie mix with a short, low-maintenance coat and a big personality. She’s been lovingly trained and has completed advanced puppy training at Petco, so she knows her basics and is eager to learn more. Personality and behavior • High energy and athletic; thrives on runs, fetch, and mentally stimulating games. • Intelligent and trainable; completed advanced training and responds well to structure. • Affectionate at home; enjoys cuddles and calm time after exercise. • Dog-friendly with proper introductions; unknown with young children but likely to do well with active teenagers. Tug of war and fetch are two of her favorite activities. She can get nervous when separated from people she knows. A fenced yard that she can run and play in is a must. She loves car rides but can be reactive with mail carriers and dogs outside of her area. She has toys, leashes, extra harnesses and a car hammock she can bring with her if desired.

Story
Buddy is a great puppy. I found him on the streets around the swope health / park area and took him in. I took him to KC pet project where he was neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. He loves to play a lot, especially with people and other dogs. Unsure about cats, but he hasn't shown me any aggression. He's a huge cuddle bug. He is really rough and has no idea to control his strength, which is why I have to remove him. I am gone a lot and he's very high energy. He needs a way to expel it during the day. He isn't meant to be cooped up in a small apartment with nowhere to walk or play. If you adopt him, he will love on you. He's a very sweet and affectionate pup.
