Story
💛 Meet Tory — A Loving Lab Looking for Her Safe Place 💛 Tory is a 4-year-old Labrador Retriever with a heart full of love and a deep desire to be close to her people. At about 77 pounds, she’s a classic Lab—affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s by your side. Tory is incredibly people-focused and thrives on companionship. In her foster home, she is calm, affectionate, and comfortable with her family, including both adult men and children. Once she feels safe, she bonds deeply and shows just how sweet and gentle she truly is. 🐾 On Walks & Daily Life Tory does well on leash and responds nicely when the leash is taut—she’ll stop and match your pace. While she may pull occasionally, she’s easily redirected by hearing her name and settles quickly. She enjoys being out and about, especially when she knows her person is guiding her. 💙 A Note About New Men Tory can feel unsure when first meeting unfamiliar men. This uncertainty may show up as loud barking and backing away, which is rooted in fear and anxiety—not aggression. With calm guidance, patience, and reassurance, she settles and builds trust. Once she knows someone, she becomes affectionate and relaxed, just as she is with the men in her foster home. Because of this, Tory would do best with adopters who understand sensitive dogs and are willing to let her warm up at her own pace. 🐶 Other Important Notes • Loves people and wants to be near them • Does well with other dogs • No cats, please • Gentle, sensitive, and affectionate • Responds beautifully to calm, confident handling 🏡 Tory is eligible for the Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program, allowing her to continue adjusting in a home environment while ensuring the fit is right for everyone. Tory isn’t looking for perfection—she’s looking for patience, reassurance, and love. In return, she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, soft eyes full of trust, and the kind of companionship that makes a house feel like home. If you’re ready to give a sweet Lab the time and understanding she deserves, Tory is ready to meet you. 💛🐾 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Hi&#44 Im Buddy! <br/><br/>Im a one-year-old boy whos looking for my forever home. I ended up at the shelter because my previous owner had more animals than they could care for&#44 but they say Im a shy yet very sweet soul-and I think that describes me perfectly.<br/><br/>Im a calm guy who loves to cuddle. Wherever my humans are in the house&#44 thats where youll usually find me. I like to be involved in whatevers going on and just enjoy being close. I also love running around the yard and playing for hours with other dogs-especially my siblings-but when the day winds down&#44 my favorite place is curled up sleeping on someone.<br/><br/>Id be happiest in a home with other dogs to play with and keep me company. Since I can be a little shy at first&#44 Id do best with older children who understand giving me time to feel comfortable.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a gentle&#44 loving companion who wants to be part of your everyday life&#44 I might just be your Buddy.

Story
Elfie 4 months old | 15 lbs as of 12/19 Black Lab / Belgian Malinois mix (best guess) Elfie is a bright, curious puppy who is already showing what a great companion she can grow into. She is friendly with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs, making her a nice fit for a social household. Cats are currently unknown. Based on what we’ve been told and what we’re seeing, Elfie appears to be a Labrador Retriever / Belgian Malinois–type mix. This combination often produces dogs that are smart, athletic, and people-oriented. Elfie is expected to mature into a medium to large adult dog, likely in the 50–65 lb range. Elfie is still very much a puppy and will benefit from continued training, structure, and regular exercise as she grows. Dogs with this type of working-breed mix tend to thrive with adopters who enjoy being involved — walks, playtime, learning new skills, and daily interaction. In return, they are often incredibly loyal, attentive companions. Elfie would do best in a home ready to continue basic training, provide consistency, and help her channel her energy in positive ways. With guidance and engagement, she has all the makings of a fun, devoted, and well-rounded adult dog. If you’re looking for a smart young pup to grow and learn with, Elfie may be a wonderful match. All of our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines. Adoption fee for all dogs/pups: $225. Our dogs are in foster homes across the KC metro. We do not have a shelter facility. Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

Story
Meet Moose 🐾 Moose is a 4-year-old, 50-lb chocolate Lab/Staffy mix who just needed the right environment to show who he really is. He came to us from a partnering shelter where he wasn’t doing well, but once he settled into a foster home, Moose quickly relaxed and started thriving. He’s gaining confidence, building trust, and showing himself to be a solid, well-mannered dog. ✔️ Potty trained ✔️ Friendly with people ✔️ Social with other dogs ✔️ Cat-tested and passed (slow, proper introductions recommended due to his size) Moose will continue to thrive with consistency and a home where he can continue to settle in and be himself. He’s a big, steady presence who’s ready for a fresh start in a home that matches his energy and size. ✨ All Heart of America Humane Society dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations. If you have other dogs in your home, we require that they meet our dog prior to adoption. 💲 Adoption fee: $225 📍 Once you apply, the foster will contact you to schedule a meet and greet. 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

Story
Florence 4 months old | ~20 lbs Lab / Belgian Malinois–type mix (best guess) Elfie’s sister Florence is a sweet, attentive puppy who enjoys being around people and other dogs. She is friendly with kids and comfortable in social settings, making her a great candidate for a home looking to add a young dog to the family. Her experience with cats is currently unknown. Based on what we’ve been told and her appearance, Florence appears to be a Labrador Retriever / Belgian Malinois–type mix. Dogs with this mix are often intelligent, active, and very people-focused. Florence is expected to grow into a medium to large adult, likely in the 50–65 lb range. Florence is still in her puppy stage and will benefit from continued training, routine, and daily outlets for both mental and physical exercise. This type of mix does best with adopters who enjoy engaging with their dog — walks, playtime, learning new skills, and building a bond through consistency. With guidance and structure, Florence has the potential to become a loyal, well-mannered companion. She would do best in a home ready to invest time in training and enjoy watching a smart puppy grow into a confident adult dog. If you’re looking for a young dog to grow with your family and be an active part of daily life, Florence may be a wonderful fit. All of our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines. Adoption fee for all dogs/pups: $225. Our dogs are in foster homes across the KC metro.

Story
Chase does well with our cat and I've seen him play well with small dogs. He does have big dog fear aggression. I asked previous owner if he had been bitten by a big dog or a wild animal, they said no. Chase has been a part of our family for 3.5 years and he isn't as reactive with big dogs as he used to be. That's to say, if he is a good distance he doesn't growl and lunge as much. Chase needs an experienced adopter with plenty of room to roam in his own private yard without big dogs nearby. I have talked with a couple of trainers and they think it's likely he can be trained out of his fear aggression. This would be from a knowledgeable owner or trained professional. He loves people and attention. I would caution that he isn't in a home with small children just because he hasn't lived with young children in our home or with original owner. He really is very sweet like Golden Retrievers are known for, he just has some special needs.
