Story
If you're looking for a dog who's got the biggest heart wrapped in a fluffy, huggable package, allow us to introduce Shadow, a super sweet boy. ​ This guy has had a tough start—spending way too much time cooped up in a kennel, which left him with some elbow sores (all healing up nicely now!) and a case of serious noise anxiety. In a town environment, every car horn or distant bark sends him into jumpy mode, like he's auditioning for a surprise party he didn't sign up for. But here's the magic: Take him out on quiet trails or just beyond the city limits, and he's your dream hiking partner! His foster family has been strolling those peaceful paths during camping trips, and he struts along like a pro—ears perked, tail wagging, totally in his element. Weekends away? Golden. Busy days with traffic and crowds? A work in progress, but oh, the potential! Leash manners are another area his family is working on—he starts off like a champ, walking politely by your side, but a sudden noise can make him bolt for the safety of the car (which, fun fact: He used to dread car rides so much he needed a little chill pill, but now? He's begging for joyrides! His foster dad Dave's truck is his safe haven on wheels. 🚗💨) He's been a total gentleman with other dogs—super passive and easygoing, letting the bossy ones (looking at you, resident Border Collie) take the lead while he chills and finds his own fun. Men? Instant fan club—his foster dad is his hero. Cats and kids? Promising but needs slow, supervised intros. Our feisty feline is still giving him the side-eye (we think it's excitement, not chase mode), and he's already won over a visiting grandson. This week, we'll be testing the waters with a toddler in the mix—fingers crossed for more tail wags! Bottom line? This boy has zero formal training under his belt yet, but with patience, positive vibes, and lots of those quiet trail walks, he's going to blossom into the most loyal, affectionate companion. His foster family is totally smitten. "I've fallen in love with him," they confessed. "He just needs time to trust the world again." And trust us—he's worth every gentle step. If you're a calm household with a yard for decompression, a love for slow-build adventures, and room in your heart (and on those trails) for a dog who's equal parts velvet cuddles and untapped explorer, could he be your guy? Shadow is vaccinated, HW negative and neutered. ​​Location: Kansas City Area Contact: kelly@w5accounting.com Please come visit Shadow and his friends on our web page https://www.midwestbordercollierescue.org/alldogs

He is a stray. Unknown backstory. He is only 11 months old. He sits, lays down. He is kennel trained and will go outside to use the restroom. He doesn’t bark and is just a goofy cuddle buddy. He is great with my young daughter and is playful with other dogs. Text me 816 718 0645

Story
Daisy is a 5 year old Australian shepherd. She has been with our family since she was a puppy. Daisy loves affection, she loves attention, and she is a very playful dog. She needs a fenced yard to run around in and does even better if she gets a daily walk but doesn't necessarily need it. She has grown up with another dog in our home and they get along well, although Daisy gets very jealous if our other dog is getting more attention than her. Daisy definitely likes to be the Queen of the home! Daisy does like to alert you (aka bark) when anyone comes to the door, she will also bark for the first few minutes after a new person comes in your home. Once she makes friends, she settles right in for some belly rubs. We are searching for a new home for Daisy because we are about to be empty-nesters and want to travel more. We don't feel its fair to her to put her in boarding for extended amounts of time. We just want to find a great home who will love her like we do!

Story
Stevie walked into our lives during a really tough time for our family. My son’s best friend needed open-heart surgery, and then when he was supposed to go back home the family’s home burned to the ground so they moved. Stevie just needed a safe place to stay, and he ended up with us for two wonderful years. He’s crate trained, and every night he knows to curl up in his crate and sleep, a quiet, reassuring presence in our home. He loves kids, he’s gentle with cats and other animals, and he is absolutely a sweetheart. He already knows the command Sit and is still learning Stay. Sadly, we’re being asked to leave our home in 30 days, and we can’t take dogs with us. I’m hoping Stevie can find a loving family or a kind person who will spoil him and give him the chance to live his best life—perhaps with a nice backyard or farmland where he can run and explore. Stevie deserves a forever family who will cherish him as much as we do. If you’d like to meet him or learn more, please reach out.
