Story
Dallas is an energetic, loving, eager to learn German shepherd. We adopted him 3 years ago and he has loved farm life. He is great with all humans, kids included. He does not enjoy being in a kennel, but will mainly whine if he is kenneled. He is best friends with our female pit bull and enjoys chasing the cat around. He loves any chance to learn a new trick, play, or be affectionate. We are rehoming because he has begun to have issues with our older male dog. Dallas is protective of his yard and he refuses to let our older male dog be outside with him. He has never had aggression issues off property before; only protecting his home. He is NOT human aggressive ever. The issue has only been with our older male dog. Rehoming fee to ensure a decent home. We do not rehome dogs often, and he deserves a good home where he’s loved.

Story
😽Cat Friendly😽 You don’t have to be a fan of the famous Mötley Crüe to fall in love with OUR Vince Neil! Our boy doesn’t have the pipes of this legend, but he certainly has the presence. 👨‍🎤 Vince is full of charisma and personality just like his namesake. He is a 4-month-old German Shepherd mix weighing 25 pounds and will rock on to around 55 pounds once fully grown. He’s an active dude and loves to jam out with his doggie friends, little people, cats, and even horses. Now that’s a well-versed little man. Wanna go swimming or take a weekend trip to the lake? He is your boy! Vince loves the water and even enjoys playing with his towel once he gets out and dries off. 💦😎 This smart boy is so excited to learn all kinds of new things, and has already locked down crate training. Vince needs some practice with his house-training skills and basic commands. He loves to please his audience, so we are sure he will have them memorized in no time. Walking on a leash is new, but wandering around scrolling through the neighborhood sounds like a rockin’ good time to him. 🚶🏻 🚶‍♀️ Vince is a young pup and will thrive with plenty of activity to wear this little rock star out, so an active home will be best for him. He is looking to perform his final gig by meeting you and putting on a show. If you would love to catch this show, complete an adoption application today! Tickets to this one-man show won’t last long. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters. 🎫 Vince Neil is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His admission fee, ahem, adoption fee, is $275. That’s all, ladies and gentlemen… thanks for your attention! Good night and Rock On!🤘🤘🤘 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org🐕

Story
🐈🐱 Cat-friendly 🐱🐈 Here’s a yummy dish for you! 😋 🍽️Just like her namesake, our 🍝 Ziti 🍝 is delicious, craveable, satisfying and brings so much comfort. Each time she loves on you, it feels like a big, warm hug. 🥰 Ziti is a 5-year-old Shepherd mix. If she’s not running and playing, she is off on her own adventures exploring the backyard. 🌳 Got any balls or stuffies lying around? ⚽️ She would be happy to take those off your hands. Doggie friends are more than welcome to play right along with her. Ziti not only loves her canine friends, but she absolutely LOVES her feline and miniature human friends too! 🤸‍♂️ What about a walking buddy? She’s your girl! She does wonderfully on leash and enjoys strolling around the neighborhood 🏘️ 🌲. Miss Ziti is learning she needs to use her manners when other dogs walk by. She gets so excited to meet new friends that she forgets not to yell at the passing doggos 👋. She is working hard on her house-training skills and is 90% there. Ziti sleeps quietly in her crate at night and has already mastered sitting, staying, lying down, shaking, and “bed” (kennel). If you’d like, she would be happy to run your errands with you. 🚗 🛻She is a grade A co-pilot without being a backseat driver. Ziti is higher energy-ish 🌟. She doesn’t need constant exercise but does best when given daily walks or backyard play. Once those energy bursts are satisfied, she’s happy to find a comfy place and chill out. She would love a home that is active and has animals and/or kids for her to play with 🛝🪁. Ziti has a condition called Water Diabetes, which means her body isn’t absorbing water like it should and affects her kidneys. She will require a daily medication for the rest of her life. As long as she gets that, there’s no stopping her! It’s time this sweet girl gets the happily ever after she so deserves. Could it be you who shows her she will always be loved? Ziti is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $175. Approved adopters will be contacted to schedule a meet-and-greet. Apply today! 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org🐕

Story
Meet Lucinda! Lucinda is a little over a year old and is looking for a patient family that understands shy dogs. She thrives on routine and loves knowing what to expect each day. If something in the house has been moved or seems out of place, there’s a good chance Lucinda will let you know! She likes order and pays close attention to her surroundings, giving her a charmingly unique personality. While she may not be the first dog to greet visitors, don’t let that fool you. New people and new places make Lucinda nervous, and she’ll usually choose to hide until she feels safe. She’s not interested in being the center of attention, but once she trusts you, she’s an incredibly sweet and loyal companion. Lucinda loves to play, especially with other dogs, and she’s just as happy entertaining herself with toys. She has wonderful house manners and can free roam in her foster home when left alone. Lucinda’s ideal home will be calm, patient, and willing to let her settle in at her own pace. With consistency, understanding, and plenty of love, she’ll blossom into a devoted companion who will always keep a watchful eye on her home and the people she loves.

Story
Meet Rocky 🖤🐾 | 1-Year-Old German Shepherd | Smart, Loyal & Ready for His Next Adventure Rocky is everything people love about German Shepherds—intelligent, eager to learn, and incredibly devoted to his people. At just 1 year old, he has his whole life ahead of him and is looking for someone who understands the breed and is excited to help him reach his full potential. Rocky came to us after his family had to leave the country, and while this has been a big change for him, he's ready to start his next chapter. Like many young Shepherds, Rocky has a lot of energy and thrives when he has both physical exercise and mental enrichment. He's still learning about the world and can become overstimulated when he sees people or other dogs on walks, leading to some leash reactivity. We also don't think he's had much experience with structured leash walking, so he'll need a patient adopter who is committed to training and helping him build confidence. The good news? Rocky is incredibly smart and has all the makings of an amazing companion. With consistency, guidance, and positive reinforcement, we know he'll blossom into the loyal best friend German Shepherds are known to be. According to his previous family, Rocky did well with dogs, though he has a very energetic play style. He previously lived with children, but because of his size and enthusiasm, we think he'd do best with either an adult only home or older kids who can comfortably handle an active young dog. Cats, however, are a little too exciting for Rocky, so he'll need a cat-free home. If you're looking for a young dog with incredible potential and are ready to invest the time to help him succeed, Rocky will reward you with unwavering loyalty and a lifelong friendship. Rocky is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program, meaning you can have a 2-3 week trial in your home to see if you may be the right fit for Rocky's forever home. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. Once approved, we’ll work with you to ensure it’s a great fit—and if it’s not, no worries! We’ll help you find the right match. All of our dogs are adoption-ready and come: •️ Spayed or neutered •️ Heartworm tested •️ Dewormed •️ Up-to-date on prevention medications •️ Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines •️ Microchipped •️ With a coupon for a free Simply Dub collar from Dubdog Designs
