Story
Giovanni and his siblings were left near a field in rural Missouri. Luckily some good Samaritans spotted them and were able to get 3 of the 4 caught. We worked with volunteer dog trappers to get the last pup caught. These boys are thin and most of them have eye issues. They will be heading to our vet in gladstone for treatment. We are looking desperately for foster homes for each of these pups. They need separated from each other, they need regular feedings, and some tlc as they heal from their surgery. Medical expenses are paid for and we use Animal Clinic of the Woodlands in Gladstone...so foster/adoptive home MUST be able to pick up and drop off their pup at that vet as needed. These boys are TALL and all gangly legged. We aren't sure if they have bloodhound/lab or dane/hound/lab...but these are BIG BOYS. Please reach out to us if you can foster or are interested in adopting one. Giovanni is coming out of his shell and loves petting. He's still unsure around other dogs, but he's learning the other dogs just want to play and have fun. At Autumn Acres Animal Rescue we believe each individual animal matters. We take in special cases some of which will stay with us as a sanctuary dog.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect Dog this means they have special needs and special requirements for potential adopters.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect RESIDENT this animal is NOT available for adoption and is one of our sanctuary residents. We list them on our sites because they still matter and they still need donations to help with their long term care.Check out our website for more information: http://www.autumnacres.org

***Adoption Fee Waived****Meet Pan — an 9-year-old gentle giant with a heart every bit as big as his 120-pound frame!Don’t let his size fool you—this goofy, lovable boy is as sweet and easygoing as they come. Pan is currently living his best life in a foster home, enjoying comfort, routine, and plenty of love while he waits for his forever family to find him.Pan is a smart, well-mannered companion who is fully house-trained and does great free-roaming when left alone. He knows an impressive list of tricks, including sit, down, shake, and even balancing treats on his nose—he loves showing off for a little attention (or a tasty reward!).Pan is hoping for a calmer, adults-only home where he can feel relaxed and confident.According to his previous owner, Pan is playful and full of life when it’s time for fun, but he’s just as happy to settle in and unwind when the day winds down. He’s the perfect mix of active and mellow, always ready to go with the flow. With his big heart and gentle soul, Pan would love a home with plenty of space to stretch out, explore, and enjoy life at his own pace.Pan is currently living in a foster home. If you’d like to meet him, please email foster@kcpetproject.orgPan is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and ready to go home with you today!

Story
Approx. DOB: 7/2/24                 Approx Weight: 150 Lbs Adoption Fee: $500 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Please note: Tank was adopted and returned.  He does not do well with small animals (ie. Rabbits) or Horses.  He needs a standard fenced yard, NO EXCEPTIONS. Meet Tank! If you've been dreaming of a gentle giant, Tank might be your perfect match! Tank is a 2-year-old Great Dane with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He absolutely loves people and enjoys spending time with other dogs. Whether he's making new friends or soaking up attention from his favorite humans, Tank is happiest when he's part of the action. Even though he's an adult, Tank is still very much a puppy at heart. He's playful, goofy, and sometimes forgets just how big he is! Because of his enthusiasm and size, he'd thrive with a family committed to continuing his obedience training. With consistency and positive reinforcement, Tank has all the potential to become an amazing canine companion. Tank has been neutered and had a preventive gastropexy performed at the same time to help reduce the risk of bloat, a serious condition that can affect large, deep-chested breeds like Great Danes. Tank is looking for a loving home that will embrace his fun-loving spirit, provide structure and guidance, and include him in everyday life. If you're searching for a loyal best friend who will make you laugh, greet everyone with a wagging tail, and fill your home with love, Tank is ready to meet you! I have been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed and microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible. Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.  You can drop off donations at our weekly adoption events at the Lee's Summit Petco (1860 NW Chipman Road, Lee's Summit, MO), Saturdays only from 11am to 2:00 p.m.  Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.  Would you like to foster a Furry Kid? Furry Kids' Refuge will supply the food & vet care while you supply the basic house rules & love.......win-win for all!!  Just visit our website http://www.furrykidsrefuge.org/category/fostering/  for more information. Thanks for your support!

Story
Hi there! I’m Moose! I was homeless for a very long time, but was adopted about a year ago. I thought this was it, that I'd found my forever home and I was so, so happy! Unfortunately, the person who said she would love me forever and ever decided to move and now I'm homeless again. I have a proposition for you, though--I promise to be your best friend forever and remain loyal and true to you if you'll make me your "for real" forever boy. I've gotten a little older (I'm nine very handsome years old now, to be precise) and I'm still a big boy. But please don’t let my size intimidate you. It just means my heart is bigger! The truth is, I am a very well-behaved boy who is just really looking forward to being part of a family. I sure hope my family sees this and wants to meet me. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and I can have my bags packed to go home with you in no time! I may be a big boy, but I travel light! But the best thing I can offer is that I come with a lifetime of unconditional love. Everyone needs that, right? I am also a very treat-motivated guy. What can I say, I love my food! Being treat-motivated will actually help me learn new things. I already know the commands, “sit,” and “down,” but I would love to learn more. Would you like to help me learn new things? No one knows for certain my past, from before I came to The Pet Connection, because I haven’t shared it all with them, and I don’t really like to dwell on it. But I will tell you that I can be a bit scared of strangers and a bit selective about my doggy friends. Let’s see, what else . . . oh yeah, I also love to play with toys—especially the ones that squeak! Squeaky toys are THE BEST! I am house-trained and crate-trained, too. Oh, AND I like to sit on the riding lawn mower. That’s normal, right? Don’t most dogs like to sit on riding lawn mowers? But it’s really ok if you don’t have a riding lawn mower; I can be flexible about that. So, are you looking for a well-behaved boy with a big heart? If so, will you please come meet me? To make a pet connection, call/text The Pet Connection at (913) 671-7387. I'm staying with them in Beloit, Kansas, but I would totally be on board with hitching a ride to my new home.

Story
Goose is a lover above all else. He is loyal and loves to be with his people. He was raised on a small farm and made friends with all our animals and every once in a while would like to sneak eggs from the chicken coop. LOL He would be happy spending his days with the kids outside. He was happiest when my kids were little to lay in a chicken dirt bath spot and let my kids pour dirt on top of him. He is protective of his domain. Though kids and land are not a requirement, he would be best suited in a place with lots of space where he can spend ample time with his people.
