Story
🌟 Meet Astra — The Gentle, Loyal German Shepherd Looking for a Fresh Start Astra is a stunning 3-year-old German Shepherd with soft black-and-silver markings and an even softer heart. She has spent her whole life with one family and is now looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Her family’s living circumstances changed, and they can no longer keep her, but they want her to have the loving future she deserves. 💛 A Sweet, Submissive Companion Astra is a gentle soul. Around other dogs, she’s calm, friendly, and naturally submissive—happy to follow rather than lead. She also does wonderfully with cats, preferring to quietly ignore them. She is shy at first with new people and children, but warms up beautifully with kindness and patience. Once she knows you, she is affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. 🏡 Great House Manners Astra has lived indoors her whole life and is very well-behaved at home. She isn’t destructive and will simply nap while you’re away until her people return. She knows basic commands and has a calm, steady presence that makes her an easy companion. 🐾 Astra Would Love a Home With: ✔ A gentle family or adopter willing to give her time to adjust ✔ Another friendly dog to follow (optional but welcomed) ✔ A relaxed, loving home where she can rebuild confidence ✔ People who appreciate a sweet, quiet, loyal companion ✨ Why You’ll Love Astra She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and quietly — a shadow at your side, a soft head in your lap, and a heart full of love to give. With her mild temperament and wonderful manners, she is ready to become someone’s loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a gentle, shy-but-sweet shepherd who will blossom with love, Astra is waiting for her second chance. 🖤🤍 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Bronco — Gentle Giant Looking for a Calm Home 🐾 Meet Bronco, a 6-year-old German Shepherd/Bullmastiff mix with a big heart and even bigger personality. This handsome boy loves snuggles, walks well on leash, and enjoys playtime with other dogs and even cats. He’s a loyal companion who thrives on one-on-one attention and is happiest in a calmer, low-stress environment. Bronco is a strong, confident dog who can be reactive in high-energy or overstimulating situations, so he would do best in a home with patient handlers and proper introductions to other dogs. He is calm when left alone and respects the home environment. Bronco is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, making it easy to see if he’s the right fit for your family before committing to adoption. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and intelligent companion who will melt your heart, Bronco is ready to meet you! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

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 shows herding instincts, which means she may try to herd small children as well. Because of this, a home with older kids in a cat-free is ideal. 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
If you know German Shepherds, you know they are a special breed. Due to their high intelligence levels, they require a family who knows how to fulfill their needs and understand their thought processes.   Chex is a one-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing approximately 60 pounds. This handsome boy has German Shepherd smarts. He knows to ring the bells hanging on the door to let his people know he needs to go out to do his business. He rests quietly in his crate at night, but he also enjoys sleeping on the couch or the floor. Chex has learned several commands, such as sit, stay, lay, down and even please. He is working on his leash manners, and as a strong boy, he will need help controlling his strength while on a leash.   Chex’s favorite toys are the squeaky types! He views his toys as a challenge and loves to see how quickly he can tear them apart. Yep, sturdy toys are needed for this tough chewer. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with his people. You don’t need to do much if he has zoomies; he will do all the running for you. This athletic guy is ready to learn the agility course and would probably dominate his competition.    Chex adores the kiddos in his foster home. His foster mom told us that he adjusts his play intensity according to the child’s size and age. The kids in the home are all over the age of 10, and it would be best if his forever home is aware he is very protective of “his” kids. We believe Chex felt the need to protect himself and the women and children in his prior home. He is looking for a home where he is allowed to trust on his terms. It will take time and patience for him to learn he is safe and does not need to protect anyone in the home.   If you know you are Chex’s hero, please fill out an adoption application to set up a meet and greet. You can do that at PawsitiveTailsKIC.org. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, as well as flea, tick, and heartworm control. His adoption fee is $175. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤   Chex deserves a happily ever after; are you the one to give that to him?

Story
🐈🐈Cat-friendly 🐈🐈 🌟🌟If only there were a televised pageant that’s the dog equivalent of Miss America. Wren could win the whole thing!🌟🌟 She has brains, poise, talent and of course beauty. 💃 All that, at only 11 months old. Wren is a German Shepherd/pittie mix with brindle for dayssss, and she’ll likely weigh around 75 lbs. as an adult. She is active and intelligent and enjoys playing, especially with treat-dispensing puzzles and other mentally stimulating activities. She comes when she is called, and she’s learning commands – she is the kind of dog who’d be capable of taking her training to the next level. Already, she takes correction easily from people and from other dogs; she can really read the room and respond accordingly. Chew toys are a favorite for those growing teeth, particularly antlers and buffalo horns, and she loves to chase the ball around and play fetch. She’s excited to walk on the leash and wants and needs regular exercise. Wren is curious and likes to see and understand everything that people and other animals are up to. She is friendly to kids and adults, and she gets along well with other dogs and with cats. She has a goofy side, and though her smarts are serious, she likes to have a good time. At night, she sleeps well in her crate. She is house-trained and crate-trained. While we won’t see her in a pageant gown anytime soon, she’s still a winner to us. Even better, she could be your winner! Wren is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines. She’ll come to you current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. Her adoption fee is $275. To meet her, get approved to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story
Valorie is barely a year old, 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 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤
