Story
Bowser is a big ol' goof (specifically, just over 100lbs of goof). He'll turn four in June—I got him as a puppy back home in Mississippi before we moved to Arizona for two years and then to KCMO. Bowser's easygoing as can be, pleasantly so for a GSD. He's always up for some fetch and ofc would love a yard, but has a grand time indoors, too. (He's weirdly good at tossing any toy back to you so it lands in your lap?) He almost never barks around the house—he'll opt for a respectful lil growl if intrigued but chills out when asked. Bowsers always had an "older brother" orange tabby keeping him in line, so he's friendly-to-playful with cats in addition to getting along great with other dogs! He wants to be everyone's friend and just occasionally has to be reminded to ease in with his energy so he doesn't spook folks with his size. (This includes kiddos—he's loved the kids we've met but would need to learn the excitement and play dynamics with any smaller family members!)

Story
Meet Striker 1 year old German shepherd/husky mix Currently living in foster care. Please call 913-684-4939 to schedule a time to meet him. Stiker is a sweet boy but he was not thriving at the shelter so he's currently living in a home environment. He's so used to being around his kids and family that he was getting depressed and having tummy issues from stress, so we got him into foster ASAP to get him back to the happy pup we know he is. He is great with children and other pets. This pup is ready for adoption -- or even foster to adopt if you want a short trial period to see if he might be a match for your family. Super sweet, good with children, good with cats, he's the whole package! He does have that husky singing voice, and energy to spare, but he's also got some training behind him, and with a great family to continue working with him, he'll be an amazing addition to your home! Striker is 13 months old, up to date on shots, already neutered and is scheduled to receive a microchip. He knows how to sit, lay, shake, and is working on stay. He loves to play catch, but he's not great at bringing it back just yet. This boy deserves an amazing family, as do they all, and if you think you can fill those shoes, please contact us for more information! Call 913-684-4939. Facility is open MWF 11-4 (Call before visiting to ensure someone is there to meet you. Striker is not currently at the shelter, so please call to arrange for him to be there when you would like to visit.) Email fortleavenworthstrayfacility@gmail.com for an adoption application.

Story
Meet Chief: COURTESY LISTING Chief is NOT at the shelter. Please contact his owner for an appointment to meet him: Emilyalbertarogers@gmail.com. From Chief's owner: Chief is a 7-year-old German Shepherd dog (born September of 2016). He has a wonderful temperament, loves people, and is great with children (we have three, and in the 6 years of having children, I've never seen him do anything even remotely aggressive to our children or any child that we have been around). He does not enjoy being around small dogs or cats. Chief was born in Hawaii, and since then has lived in Kentucky, California and now Kansas. He has been adaptable with every move and has not struggled whatsoever with relocating. He's a very happy dog and is content wherever he is. He also does great traveling in the car, no sickness. He also doesn't have any issues with storms or loud noises, no anxiety. When we travel, he does great at a kennel, or with someone coming to our home. Chief is completely house broken and well trained at home - he does not get on furniture and he understands his boundaries within the home (I.e. does not go upstairs or in the basement). He loves to be outside and would spend as much time outside as possible, if he could. We love our dog and we are sad to rehome him, but in the desert of California, Chief developed a condition called Pannus which impacts his eyes. Living in Kansas has been very good for him and has slowed the progression of his condition, pretty much completely. We have even seen improvement in his vision. However, we are about to move to another desert environment for a long stint of time, which will likely cause him to go blind. We are looking to rehome him in order to protect him and his quality of life. Email Emilyalbertarogers@gmail.com for more information.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Noel is a goofy, beautiful, carefree, energetic and very loving girl who just wants to have fun. She loves playing with the other dogs, going on walks, or just generally doing whatever her foster family is doing. She's going to make someone a fantastic buddy and companion. BACKSTORYNoel came to MOGS after she was seized by animal control for cruelty. She was starved, dehydrated and left outside with no shelter. She is currently is a foster home. TEMPERAMENT / BEHAVIOR Noel is amazing. She was seized for extreme cruelty but despite her suffering she still loves people. She's a sweet little girl who is very soft, friendly and goofy. She wants to greet everyone and will be very vocal about it. She loves being in the same room with her humans and will follow everywhere. She acts as a tripping hazard since she picks the least out of the way spot to lay down, especially in the kitchen. She does tend to sniff the counter and floor for yummies but has never jumped up to grab anything. Will try her best to reach into a high chair to get leftovers but will leave it if told to. Her foster family doesn't leave things towards the edge of counters so she is not given the opportunity to steal anything. She does like to chew on stuffed animals and does not know the difference between her toys and baby's toys so her foster family does their best to just keep non-dog toys off the floor. Like most GSDs Noel is a super shedder, her fur is very thick. TRAININGShe's learning basic manners and doing very well. She is food driven which will help with her training. The first new behavior she had to practice was waiting at baby gates or backyard fences. She has climbed a fence to follow her person on the other side. With a 6 ft fence she will be fine, with a somewhat lower fence, she will need complete supervision in the backyard to avoid escaping. She sometimes jumps baby gates to be closer to her people. She is pretty good at listening and has learned the sit command. She is house broken and crate trained. She does okay on a leash and is currently walked with a combo of the martingale collar and a gentle leader for better control. She can get a bit wild and unruly when other dogs are near since she wants to go say hi and play. Her future family will need to spend the time to exercise her and stimulate her, and finish her training using good canine leadership skills. OTHER ANIMALSNoel gets along with most dogs; she just wants to play. Sometimes she plays too rough for other dogs because she is so excited. She does not seem to understand her size and she is very fast moving. Currently lives with her foster siblings, a 25lb dog and a 12lb chiweenie. Noel does seem to respect the smaller dog's space. Noel would do best with a same size and energy level doggie buddy to play and romp with. She's still got a lot of puppy in her and occasionally doesn’t notice when other dogs tell her they're tired, so you may have to remind her that play time is over. She takes correction easily and is perfectly willing to go inside and let the other dogs rest. Noel has a mild-to-moderate small prey drive and cannot be in a home with cats. PEOPLENoel does well with adults and is very good with kids. She has been very patient with the human toddler in her foster home. When the young one gets a little crazy, she for the most part handles it very well. She has learned the command 'escape' or move away from toddler reach. When she has reached her limit, she will let him know with a nudge or growl but has never shown aggression. Noel is a large, strong and energetic dog who has the potential to be too rough in play and knock a child over, or collide with a child. As with all large dogs, she must be supervised around small children just to be sure things don't get too rough. MEDICAL Up-to-date on all vaccines, has a current rabies tag, is spayed and has been microchipped. She was originally heartworm positive but has been treated and is heartworm free. Noel has a toenail that grows up and over but doesn't appear to cause her any discomfort other than when she has her nails trimmed. At some point prior to coming to MOGS, Noel suffered from a LEFT hind leg femur fracture that did not receive any treatment, so healed slightly misaligned. Because of this, she does sometimes experience discomfort in that leg and requires intermittent pain management with an anti-inflammatory pain reliever. She also receives joint supplement support on a daily basis. Noel's injured leg has been assessed by her regular vet, as well as orthopedic experts at Blue Pearl, and both experts agree this will be a chronic monitoring situation which will need intermittent pain management for life. Even though Noel has medium to high energy, this leg can sometimes significantly limit her activity due to discomfort. At those times, she will do best with short walks around the neighborhood, just not too far as she cannot handle it. Noel has no other known medical issues.   If you're looking for a gorgeous, trainable furballwho will love you forever,NOEL is your girl! NOEL'S ADOPTION FEE:   $300This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so oINTERESTED IN ADOPTING NOEL?Complete an Adoption Application Now!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.STOP!!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're looking for a sweet German Shepherd who will love you forever,COLBY may be your ideal family member! BACKSTORYColby was owner-surrendered 'in the field' to Animal Control, as a means of helping his owner avoid animal cruelty charges. Colby was seized, along with 5 pit-bulls from a location that appeared to be involved in dog fighting. All of the dogs were secured by heavy chains around their necks, as well as heavy-duty springs, which prevented them from reaching each other. Their only shelter was barrels cut in half and turned upside down in the mud. When Colby came to MOGS he was starved to the bone and at 61lbs he was drastically underweight. TEMPERAMENT / BEHAVIOR Colby is a love bug. If he knows you he will want your attention and he will bug you until you give it to him. He wants to be a lap dog as well. Colby is a happy boy, he just wants to enjoy his home and all the thing he loves, food, his ball, his Buffalo horns, and hanging with his people. Because he is tentative with new people and dogs, he would not be a good candidate for dog parks, doggy day care, Home Depot visits or camping. TRAININGHe is house trained; crate trained and does not chew on anything he is not supposed to. Colby will need a person that is a strong experienced leader. OTHER ANIMALSColby can be an only dog. He does not play with the resident dogs in his foster home. His idea of playing with them is for all of them to run at full speed up to the back door to come back inside. He tries to avoid confrontation with other dogs, he will get up and walk away. He will not back down if he gets involved but it is only a barking match and he is easily called off. He does take a slow intro to other dogs but he currently lives with a 14-year-old, 8-year-old and 8-month-old, all GSDs. Colby needs a home with no cats, but he has been in a household with a small dog and did very well. PEOPLEHe warms up to women quickly, he takes longer to warm up to men. We do not recommend him going into a household with small children or very hyper dogs as he is easily annoyed. People that get to know him absolutely love him and he remembers the people he meets and greets them with a smile. MEDICAL Up-to-date on all vaccines, has a current rabies tag, is neutered/spayed and has been microchipped. Has no known medical issues.
