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.

Story
***updated***To a good home. I have 3 young kids and this dog is absolutely terrified of me (male). He loves my wife and kids and we have been trying to make this work with him since August 2026, still no progress in his fear/anxiety me.Over 120+ people have look at this dog. He is a sweet boy; he is just scared of me. My friend (male) has no problem petting and loving on him. thats the only "behavioral issue" the website forces me to choose an option... thats the best fit?I am more then happy to provide the dog kennel hes in (250$ heavy duty steel) the dog food, treats, water/food bowl, leashes, shock collar/dog trainer tool, flea and tick that i have bought for him. He just needs to be adopted by someone "he likes".

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 $175. 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
Rocco is 5 months old, and his foster describes him as a very sweet and loving boy. He enjoys playing, but he’s also quite happy being your cuddle buddy when it’s time to settle down. Rocco loves playing with other dogs and has done well with children of all ages. He also enjoys his chew toys, which are a great way to keep a puppy busy when he isn’t romping around with his friends. And Rocco knows how to get cozy. Put a blanket over him when he settles in, and he’s perfectly content to sleep tucked underneath it. Apparently being properly covered up is an important part of bedtime. Rocco is affectionate, social, eager to learn and already showing what a wonderful companion he can be. He is working on commands and currently knows sit and down. If you’re looking for a puppy who can play with the kids and dogs, learn new things and then curl up beside you under a blanket, Rocco may be your guy. His adoption fee is $250 which includes his neuter, vaccines and chips. Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

Story
Meet Peli! She is a beautiful senior German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix, approximately 12 years old and 57 pounds. Spayed, vaccinated, and with vet records available, she is a medium-energy companion who is happiest relaxing near her people but still gets the occasional burst of zoomies. Peli is independent and not especially cuddly, yet she forms strong bonds with her family and is deeply loyal and protective of those she loves. While she may be reserved with new people at first, given time and patience she becomes a devoted companion who will happily follow her person from room to room.Peli would do best in a calm home with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time to build. She is house-trained and can use puppy pads if left alone for extended periods. She walks on a leash and knows basic commands such as sit and stay, though she may pull if excited by squirrels. She can be nervous around loud trucks, thunderstorms, and other sudden noises.
