Husky puppies and dogs in Shawnee, Kansas

🐾 Meet Duvall — A Handsome Adventurer With a Heart Full of Love! 💙 With his striking blue eyes, beautiful beige-and-white coat, and unforgettable smile, Duvall is one handsome fellow! This 2½-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix weighs about 54 pounds and has plenty of personality, energy, and affection to share. Duvall's journey began when he was found alone along a roadside late one night. Since then, he's experienced several changes in his living situation through no fault of his own. Now living in a foster home, he's hoping his next chapter will finally bring the stability, understanding, and lasting companionship he deserves. ❤️ 🐾 An Adventurer at Heart! Duvall is intelligent, athletic, playful, and full of enthusiasm for life! He loves walks, outdoor adventures, exploring new places, and activities that challenge both his mind and body. As a working-breed mix, he thrives with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and opportunities to spend quality time with his people. He's also house-trained and crate-trained, giving him a wonderful foundation for settling into a home routine. 💕 A Friendly Boy With So Much Love to Give One of the most wonderful things about Duvall is his sweet, affectionate nature! Volunteers who know him well describe a genuinely friendly, loving boy who adores belly rubs, gives kisses, and enjoys being close to his favorite people. Duvall generally does well meeting people and has made plenty of wonderful connections with volunteers and new friends alike. Like many dogs who have experienced prolonged shelter stays and changes in their living situations, Duvall can occasionally feel overwhelmed in busy or unfamiliar environments. During particularly stressful situations, he has sometimes appeared nervous or unsure around new people. Those who know him best believe these reactions were largely influenced by the stress and instability he was experiencing at the time, rather than reflecting his usual friendly personality. Now that Duvall is settling into foster care, we're looking forward to learning even more about how his confidence and social skills continue to develop in a calmer, more consistent environment. In the meantime, gentle introductions, patience, and allowing Duvall to approach new experiences at his own pace will help him feel comfortable and secure. 🐕 Making Friends and Finding His Comfort Zone Duvall enjoys playing with other dogs, although his enthusiastic, physical play style can sometimes be overwhelming. He'd do best with confident, well-socialized dogs who enjoy active play and can comfortably match his energy. Slow, thoughtful introductions are important, and a compatible canine companion could be a wonderful match. Duvall could also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home. When it comes to children, Duvall's experiences have been somewhat limited, particularly with very young kids. Because he's an energetic, enthusiastic dog who can occasionally become overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations, a home with older, dog-savvy children would likely be the best fit. He's had some positive experiences with older children, and those who know him believe he could do very well in a family setting with appropriate introductions, supervision, and an understanding of his needs. For now, a home without very young children is recommended while we continue learning more about his comfort level in foster care. Duvall's history with cats is also limited and somewhat mixed. While he has had a calm encounter with a shelter cat, there have also been concerns about chasing or unpredictable behavior around cats in a previous home. To give Duvall the best chance at a successful, lasting placement, a home without cats is recommended. 🏡 Duvall's Perfect Match Duvall is looking for a patient, committed family who appreciates his adventurous spirit and understands the importance of stability and consistency. His ideal home will offer: 🐾 Regular exercise, walks, and outdoor adventures 🧠 Mental enrichment, training, and activities to keep his clever mind busy ❤️ A loving family who enjoys affection, companionship, and plenty of belly rubs 🎓 Consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and gentle guidance 🐕 Thoughtful introductions to new people, pets, and environments 🏡 A safe, stable environment where he can finally put down roots Experience with working breeds would be a bonus, but what matters most is a family willing to understand Duvall's needs and help him continue building confidence. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, although meaningful exercise, engagement, and companionship are just as important. 💙 A Second Chance Worth Waiting For Duvall has been through more transitions than any young dog should have to experience. But through it all, he's remained a sweet, affectionate, enthusiastic boy with so much love to give. Those who know him best see a friendly dog who loves companionship, enjoys life's adventures, and simply needs the opportunity to feel safe and settled. Now he just needs someone willing to give him the patience, stability, and forever home he's been waiting for. 🐾 Could you be the one to give Duvall his happily-ever-after? 💙 P.S. Duvall is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program! This gives an approved family the opportunity to get to know him in their home before making a final adoption commitment. ----------------------------------------- Interested in adopting?

🐾 Meet Shadow — A Sweet, Spirited Pomsky with a Big Personality! 💙 Shadow is a handsome 4-year-old Pomeranian/Husky mix (Pomsky) weighing approximately 35 pounds. He's affectionate, intelligent, playful, and absolutely bursting with personality! This sweet boy has spent most of his life in a home, and now he's looking for a family ready to give him the love, attention, and adventures he deserves. ❤️ 💕 A Lovebug with Lots of Energy Shadow absolutely adores his people! He's a loving, loyal companion who enjoys being close to his favorite humans and being involved in whatever they're doing. He's also a smart cookie who already knows several commands, including sit and lie down, and he's working on mastering stay. Shadow has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, so he'll thrive with an active family that can provide regular exercise, playtime, mental enrichment, and continued training. He's a fun-loving guy who will keep you entertained! 🐶 Friends & Family Shadow enjoys other dogs and is reportedly friendly when meeting them, although his excitement can sometimes get the best of him. He'll benefit from thoughtful introductions and canine friends who appreciate his playful energy. He's also sweet with children, but because he can jump when excited, a home with older kids who are comfortable around enthusiastic dogs may be the best fit. As for cats, Shadow enjoys chasing them in an attempt to play. Because that behavior can be stressful for feline friends, any potential cat introductions would need careful consideration and management. 🏡 Helping Shadow Settle In Shadow is very attached to his people and can struggle when left alone. His previous family reported that he sometimes chewed or damaged household items and had indoor accidents during their absence, although other times he relaxed and slept. He isn't currently crate trained, so he'll need a patient family willing to help him build a consistent routine, develop confidence during alone time, and learn appropriate household habits. With positive reinforcement, enrichment, and a little patience, this clever boy has plenty of potential! 💙 Ready for His Next Adventure Shadow is a friendly, affectionate, enthusiastic dog who has so much love to give. He's looking for someone who appreciates his playful spirit, understands his need for activity and structure, and is ready to help him become the wonderful companion he's capable of being. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Shadow would love to meet you! 🐾❤️ ----------------------------------------- Interested in adopting?

Meet Dingo! This 2½-year-old, 70-pound boy appears to be a Husky mix, with plenty of puppy silliness and an enthusiastic approach to life. Friendly, playful and always ready for something to do, Dingo is looking for an active family who will enjoy his energy and sense of fun. Dingo came from a home where he was loved, but his owner recognized that he needed more activity and enrichment than he could provide. Now in a foster home, Dingo is learning manners and practicing how to channel all that excitement. He’ll benefit from continued positive training, daily exercise and activities that keep his busy brain engaged. Dingo enjoys other dogs and likes kids, though his size and rambunctious play make him a better match for a home with older children. A nice yard for playtime, along with walks, adventures and time with his people, would suit him well. If you’re looking for a big, happy companion to join your active life, Dingo would love to meet you! Dingo’s adoption fee is $250. Heart of America Humane Society adopts within the Kansas City metro area, and an in-person meet is required. Apply to meet Dingo: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

With her striking coat, tall ears, and wolf-like appearance, Lucy has fooled more than a few people from a distance! But this 75-pound beauty is all dog, and a friendly one at that! Lucy is a gorgeous girl we believe to be around 2 years old. She appears to be a Husky mix, although her actual breed makeup is anyone's guess. Her beautiful cream, tan, and charcoal coloring makes her a real head-turner! Lucy's story began when she was found wandering alone in a parking lot. Thankfully, a kindhearted person spotted her and couldn't bear to leave her behind. Despite efforts to locate her owner, no one came forward. Now Lucy is ready for a fresh start with a family of her own! Lucy is friendly with both people and other dogs. She's a big, beautiful girl with a lovely personality to match her one-of-a-kind looks! We don't know much about Lucy's past, but we do know she's a friendly girl who deserves a wonderful future. She's ready to leave her parking lot days behind and become someone's beloved companion. Looking for a dog who will turn heads and win hearts? Lucy would love to meet you! Our dogs are in foster homes across the KC metro. We do not have a shelter facility. All HAHS dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Adoption fee is $250. Apply to adopt Lucy: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

Meet Aspen! This sweet 3-year-old girl is housetrained, friendly, and has never met a stranger! She loves walking on a leash and is always ready for a new adventure.

Aspen has wonderful manners and loves people, but she would do best in a house rather than an apartment. If you’re looking for a friendly companion to join you on walks, adventures, and everyday life, Aspen could be your perfect match! Aspen will come fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $225.

Meet Howard 🐾 Howard is an 8-year-old mixed breed with 13 breeds in his DNA… and honestly, it shows. 😂 (Boxer, Chow Chow, Aussie, Border Collie, Lab, Dalmatian… and a little bit of everything else sprinkled in.) He’s basically a one-of-a-kind original. Howard is a quirky, stubborn, independent guy who very much lives by the motto: his way or the highway. But for the right person? He’s a loyal, adventurous companion who just wants to do life by your side (on his terms, of course). 💛 Howard’s Personality Howard is not a social butterfly — he’s a one-person kind of dog. He bonds deeply and prefers a small, predictable world. He’s got big feelings and isn’t shy about sharing them… usually through barking. But honestly? Half the time it’s less “I’m being reactive” and more “I have something to say and you’re going to hear it.” 😂 He’s also a big goofball once you know him, with a personality that keeps you laughing. Just wait until you see him stand on his back legs waiting for treats, it's hilarious. 🌲 What He Loves • Being outdoors and going on adventures (just not in the heat — he’s not about that life). He especially likes if you let him stop and smell alllllll the roses. He really loves to enjoy his surroundings! • A consistent routine • Having his person • Space to decompress and do his own thing 🧠 Training & Behavior Howard is smart, and he loves treats. Consistency is everything with him! • He has barrier reactivity (kennel, doors, leash) and may bark/lunge at bikes or moving cars • He’s working on “leave it” and does well when redirected with high-value treats • Impulse control is key — he needs structure and clear boundaries • He will bark when he’s impatient (like when you’re letting him out of his kennel) — he needs you to wait him out and reward calm behavior. Think of him as a dog who thrives with leadership and routine — not chaos or guesswork. 🏡 Home Requirements Howard is looking for a very specific kind of home where he can truly thrive: • Adult-only home • Only pet — he wants all the attention to himself • Patient, dog-savvy adopter who understands behavior and boundaries • Someone who will respect his space and advocate for him 👋 Meeting New People Howard does best with slow, controlled introductions. He does not appreciate people getting in his space right away. Pro tip: skip the head pats — those are for his inner circle only. Start with butt scratches and let him decide when you’ve made the cut. 😌 Howard isn’t for everyone — and that’s okay. But for the person who gets him? He’s a loyal, hilarious, adventure-loving companion who will absolutely be your ride-or-die. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, opinions, and a whole lot of character… Howard might just be your guy. Howard is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know him in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
