Story

King is a senior German Shepherd who is still full of life and enjoys being playful and active. He is a loyal, affectionate dog who loves attention and being around his people. King grew up around children, but he would do best in a calm home with mostly adult interaction where he can relax and receive plenty of love. He has done well with other dogs, especially smaller dogs. One of his sweetest quirks is that he loves stuffed animals and treats them like his “babies,” carrying them around. King enjoys walks and would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can play. King just had a vet visit, shots are up to date including rabies, negative heartworm test. King will come with his belongings including his stuffed animals, bed, food bowls, remaining dog food, etc.

Story

We adopted Vinny from a shelter that had received him as a stray 5 days prior so little was known about him. They estimated his age at 1.5 years, but our vet thinks more like just under a year and his behavior does reflect that. We are only rehoming him because he doesn’t get along with our 8 year old beagle. He is friendly with all people and other dogs. He is easily trainable, walks well on leash and knows several commands- sit, shake, down, wait, come, and post. He is energetic and loves to play but also snuggles during quiet time. He likes fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, and all toys. He will be your best friend because he likes to be right by your side. He is a GREAT dog who should probably be the only pet in the home.

Story

Harley is a 6-year-old German Shepherd/Red Heeler mix who has the whole package: calm, loyal, smart, and deeply devoted to her people. She is house-trained, crate-trained, knows her commands, and settles beautifully in the home. She enjoys her daily walks, her toys, and above all, being close to her humans. A true Velcro dog, she loves nothing more than quietly sticking by your side. Harley can be a bit reserved with men and loves to protect her human. When she is feeling unsure or scared, she may bark or growl out of fear, but with slow, positive introductions, she warms up wonderfully. In her foster home, she absolutely adores her foster dad and teenage foster brother, showing just how loving and loyal she becomes once she feels safe. She gets along with other dogs and is in foster with dogs of various sizes and personalities. She may show herding instincts, so a home with older children and no cats would be best for her. Harley is available through our Foster-to-Adopt program, giving you the chance to get to know her and see just how special she is. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will stick by your side through everything, Harley just might be your perfect match. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Marley

German Shepherd Dog

Story

Meet Marley — A Loyal 8-Year-Old German Shepherd Who Just Wants Stability Again Cat friendly, Only Dog home, Medium Energy, Apartment not Recommended Marley is an 8-year-old purebred German Shepherd who has known love her entire life. Her owner had her from puppyhood and surrendered her only because he was facing eviction after noise complaints in their apartment — he truly had no other choice. Marley is a sensitive, intelligent dog who thrives with structure, routine, and a calm environment. After eight years in one home, the shelter has been overwhelming for her, and she will do best in a house with space where she can decompress, settle, and feel secure again. 💛 General Personality & Home Life Marley is affectionate, loyal, and very bonded to her people. She’s the kind of dog who enjoys being near you but is also perfectly content relaxing on her own nearby. Her foster describes her as the perfect balance of playful and chill. She has a medium energy level — always happy to go for a walk, play fetch, or explore outside, but just as happy to settle in for a nap afterward. Marley is fully house trained and has had no accidents in her foster home. She knows several commands including sit, down, stay, kennel, and place, and she’s a very attentive listener who is eager to please. She’s also extremely food motivated, which makes continued training easy and fun. Her previous owner clearly put a lot of time into her training — she’s a smart girl who likely knows even more than we’ve discovered so far. Marley also loves car rides and is an excellent passenger, calmly sitting or laying down in the back seat. Some of her favorite things include: • Playing fetch with her ball • Walks and exploring outdoors • Swimming (a past favorite from her previous home) • Being brushed and pampered 🐶 Behavior With Other Dogs Marley does have specific needs around other dogs, and we believe she would do best as the only dog living in the home. Leash Behavior • Historically leash reactive — she may bark, growl, or lunge if dogs get too close. Marley is not aggressive, but fearful and expresses her big emotions this way. • Will benefit from patient, structured leash work with positive reinforcement and space on walks. Dog-to-Dog Interactions • Previously went to dog parks but began resource guarding toys. • Foster has also observed resource guarding behaviors around another dog in the home, so we are recommending Marley live as the only dog where she can relax and not feel the need to protect her things. 🐱 Cats Marley previously lived with a cat successfully and briefly ignored cats in her foster home. As with any introduction, slow and thoughtful introductions are recommended. 🐕‍🦺 Kennel & Alone Time Being away from her humans can be hard for Marley. She knows the “kennel” command and will sometimes go into her crate on her own to rest. She may bark or howl if she hears activity she feels she’s missing out on, especially overnight. Her foster found she did very well free-roaming in a dog-proof room, where she slept most of the night peacefully. Providing exercise, structure, and calming routines (like white noise or music) has helped her settle. 🚶‍♀️ Daily Life Marley is a lovely walking companion. She walks well on a harness and checks in often with her person. She may pull briefly if she spots a squirrel or catches a strong scent, but she’s easy to redirect. She enjoys meeting new people and has happily approached visitors and people on walks with a wagging tail. Marley can also be a little sensitive or skittish at times — loud cars, leaves, or unexpected objects might briefly startle her — but she recovers quickly with reassurance. 🌟 What Marley Needs in an Adopter Marley will thrive with: • A house with a yard (no apartments) • An experienced German Shepherd or working-breed home • A dog-free household • Continued training for leash reactivity • Daily exercise and mental engagement • A stable, predictable environment • Someone who appreciates the loyalty and sensitivity of shepherds 💛 Marley Is Ready for a Soft Landing Marley is incredibly sweet, eager to please, and deeply devoted to her people. She can be a little nervous at times, but she also has a goofy, playful side that makes her a joy to be around. After eight years of routine, love, and stability, she’s simply looking for someone willing to give her that sense of home again. Whoever adopts Marley won’t just be getting a dog — they’ll be gaining a loyal, intelligent companion who will give them her whole heart. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story

This name is Gideon, he’s a German Shepherd mix and just over a year old. He loves to play, cuddle on the couch, is house trained, very food motivated, and does well in his crate. I think he would do best in a house with a yard where he can run and play outside. Gideon can be fearful around strangers and has some anxiety/fear-based aggression when he feels scared or unsure, so he would do best with someone patient and experienced who can give him the training, time, and attention he needs. He also has a prescription to help with anxiety. This is a very difficult decision, but I want what’s best for him.

Story

Why should you adopt a 1-year-old doggie instead of a younger puppy? Well, for starters, have you seen this face and those ears? 🥰😍🥰 If that inquisitive expression doesn’t grab you from the jump, then we’ll appeal to your more rational side. At 1 year old, Jeepers is still young enough to bond with and grow into your family. We fully know his personality, so you’ll understand his needs and wants and can match them to your home and dynamic. He’s almost at his full-grown weight, so we can say with confidence that he’ll be 40-45 pounds. No waking up in the night to take him outside, like a young pup, because he’s solidly house-trained, and he’s crate-trained for when you are away. This smart German Shepherd mix already knows many basic commands, including sit, down and wait, and he comes when he’s called 🧠🧠 So, his training is well underway, and you can take the reins from here to show him specifically what directions to follow. Jeepers is still young and has the curiosity and loyalty of a puppy, but with all that we know about him, you’ll be able to know if he’s a match for you. And, you won’t have to toil with house training or baby puppy chewing and stuff like that. And we haven’t even gotten to how much fun Jeepers is. He loves all toys, all the time. He loves walks and doesn’t pull on the leash, so you can stop and smell the roses 🌹🌹 and the….other stuff 👃 👀 together. He loooovvvveesss attention from his people. You’ll get to drink in those soulful brown eyes that seem to say “I love you” all the time. Jeepers and his foster have been working hard to meet all kinds of new people and doggie friends. He can have some stranger danger, and that presents as barking. Underneath it, though, he’s a good buddy just trying to make sure everyone’s worthy of his friendship. A noisy but seemingly effective tactic that could also help anyone who needs a little extra security. He makes friends with other dogs after a slow (and maybe, ahem, talkative) introduction. He should probably live with kids over the age of 6, because his puppy energy might topple very young kids. Jeepers loves his people and will make the best darn boy for you, at every age. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $175. To meet him, bring a juicy treat (yummo!), and get approved to adopt him at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story

Trends come and go, especially in the age of “viral” social media. But some things never go out of style! One of those things is, without a doubt, Chex Mix! Chex mix has been the trusted go-to treat for ages. Why? Because there is something for everyone! It’s salty, sweet, and everything neat! There are so many Chex mix varieties to choose from, but our favorite is our very own Chex mix! Chex is a 1.5 year old German Shepherd mix weighing 65-70 pounds. Chex knows that the success of Chex Mix lies in the mixture of perfectly paired ingredients—and he believes that he’d be better paired with you! 😉 Chex is looking for his forever family, and the recipe for success in your home has pretty much been laid out for you! Let’s go over all of the boxes that our sweet boy CHEX off! -Is he potty trained? CHEX! ✅ He knows to ring the bells when nature calls! -Is he crate trained? CHEX! ✅ He rests quietly in his crate at night, but he also won’t decline a nice couch or floor. -Does he know basic commands? CHEX! ✅ He knows “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” “wait,” “manners” (when being served food), “get your toy,” and “beg” (he will lay his head on your leg)! He is learning “say please,” “come and sit,” and "under" to go under your legs. He is very smart and learns new commands easily. -Does he like to play? CHEX! ✅ He LOVES squeaky toys and tug toys! -Can he live in a home with cats? CHEX! ✅ He likes cats and keeps his distance from the feisty ones. Here are some important considerations for building your mix with Chex: -Chex likes to choose his doggy friends wisely, so he may do best as an only dog. -Chex loves kids, but would be best with teens and older due to his energy level. -Chex is a strong boy and could use some practice with his leash manners. -Chex will need some time with his adopters to build trust, especially men. Overall, the perfect mix for Chex would be a woman-only home with no small children. He would love a fenced-in backyard to run and play. Chex is smart and loyal and will be a really great pup for the right person! Chex will come to you vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and neutered. He is also current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention! His adoption fee is $175. If Chex is CHEXING all of your boxes, go to www.pawsitiveTailsKC.org to fill out an app! Meet and greets will be scheduled with approved adopters. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story

Valorie is still just a young girl, but she’s been through so much. There’s a reason we spell her name the way we do: She has displayed a lot of valor. We are bound and determined to turn Valorie’s life around so she can experience the love of people and know that she is safe and cared for, furever. Valorie came to us with not one but two broken legs. She is now healed from her second surgery, and the vets think she’ll be able to run, play and jump like a regular dog with no lasting physical effects. However, because the injuries happened at the hands of humans, she still bears some emotional scars. Here are some things that bring her joy: 🐕🐩🐕 Other dogs! She loves them so purely and trusts them completely 💦💧💦 Water. She plays in the creek at her foster’s house and has a blast, and she doesn’t mind the rain or storms at all. 🌤🌷🌳 Being outside. She wants to go, go, go, whether she’s in the yard or on a leash walk. 🚗 Car rides 🌭🍔🍦Food and treats – the way to Valorie’s heart is through yummy eats 🤸‍♀️ 🐾 😴 Her energy level will match your energy – from adventure time to lazy time She knows sit, down, come, kisses & kennel and is learning more basic commands. Walks are exciting, & she pulls a little at first, then settles into a nice pace with you. She is house-trained and bell-trained, & she sleeps in her crate at night. Valorie is very gentle with kids who are respectful to dogs and who know that she will need space at first. Then, she will love and protect them hard. So kids are fine but cats are a 'no' for this girl. She is bashful because of her past and may startle at sudden noises and movements, especially at first. She will need some time – likely days or even weeks – to acclimate to her new home, before many new people or visitors start showing up. Valorie will continually remind you what life is all about and keep you focused on all the joys there are to behold. Want to be her forever hero? Apply to adopt her today. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped, plus current on preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick. Her adoption fee is $175. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤
