Story
Meet Hufflepuff! If entertainment is what you want, Huffy is your girl. This adorable girl dances and signs for her meals. What's better than that? Hufflepuff is a sweet gal who would love to have a pack of her own and a home to call her furever home. She is a bit of the nervous type. But once she gets to know you, she's all love and cuddles. She loves scratches on her chin and belly. She gives gentle boops to your leg or hand when she's excited. She has learned to play with the foster's dogs who have helped her learned this is a great foster home! Adopt Huffy and add some love to your life now!

Story
I should definitely be renamed Sir Snuggles, I think! Yes, I am a little bit of a scruff ball, but snuggling is my super power. But for now, Im Sir Scruffy, and Im a handsome, curious 12-pound super senior gentleman with the spunk of a dog half my age. Age is definitely just a number in my book - Im cheerful, playful and absolutely darling from nose to tail.<br/><br/>I found myself needing a new home when my previous owners health began to deteriorate. It was heartbreaking for me, but you have to keep a stiff upper lip and weather the storms in life I always say. I have shown off my true personality in my foster home, and they think Im the best boy. Im an old soul that loves everyone. I had some grade-school age kids come by one day, and that was nothing but a pleasure for me. My foster says I dont hear very well anymore, but heck, think about it. I dont have problems with storms or fireworks! Thats a way to look at life with a glass half full, right?<br/><br/>Im kennel trained and sleep in one at night - unless youd like for me to sleep with you - you know, keep you safe and warm? I dont bark except when Im first tucked into my kennel at night, but then I settle and drift off into dreamland. I walk beautifully on leash, and I adore playing, and I get so excited when I see you that I do the zoomies! I love toys so much (tug is a favorite game) that I like to carry one around in my mouth as often as possible. You never know when you are gonna need a toy at a moments notice, right? And oftentimes, I like to follow you around the house (in case you need help with something), and youll see that toy dangling from my teeth. Yes, its true, Im adorable. <br/><br/>After all is said and done, I think my Number One Love in this world is SNUGGLING! I could canoodle with you for hours on end. Id love a new family where someone is at home with me more so that we could have a lot of snuggling quality time together. <br/><br/>Ive given plenty of love in my life, and I want to continue doing so as long as Im here on this earth. I will adore you and love you to the moon and back. Could you do the same for me?<br/><br/>Love from Sir Scruffy

Story
DOB: 12/25/25                      Current Weight(as of 7/6/26): 7.6 Lbs Adoption Fee: $350 includes 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness. Meet Noodles!  Noodles is an adorable 7-month-old Maltese/Poodle mix with a personality that's every bit as sweet as his fluffy face! This happy little guy came to our rescue after being released by a breeder because of a slightly deformed back left foot. Our veterinarian believes he was simply born this way, and the good news is—it doesn't slow him down one bit! Noodles runs, plays, and enjoys life just like any other puppy.  If you're looking for a dog that loves other dogs, Noodles is your guy! He absolutely thrives having canine friends to play with and would love a home with another playful dog or an active family that can keep him entertained. The senior dogs in his foster home do not appreciate his playfullness. Once he's worn himself out, he's more than happy to curl up in your lap for cuddles and soak up all the love you can give.  Noodles is also making fantastic progress with his house training and proudly keeps his kennel clean overnight with no accidents. One of Noodles' funniest quirks? He loves to watch TV! He takes his favorite shows very seriously and isn't shy about giving his opinion, so he can be quite vocal while watching. Because of this, he probably isn't the best fit for apartment or shared-wall living. Noodles would do best in an active home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely run and play. He's looking for a family that will embrace his playful spirit, appreciate his goofy TV commentary, and spoil him with plenty of snuggles. If you're ready to welcome a fun-loving, affectionate little companion into your life, Noodles can't wait to meet you! Puppies are NOT housebroken and should not be expected to wait more than 1 hour for each month of age to go out to potty. Please make sure that you have a “potty plan” in place if considering adoption. All of our puppies have been spay/neuter, wormed, microchipped, and given age appropriate vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of them just fill out a application at www.furrykidsrefuge.org, click on the 'Adopt A Dog' icon and a dedicated volunteer will be in touch.  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!
