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
DOB: 11/28/17                Approx. Weight: 6 Lbs Adoption Fee: $275 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Lola is an 8-year-old Maltese and a retired breeder mama who is finally getting the chance to just be a dog. She is absolutely adorable and has the kind of gentle presence that quietly melts your heart. She has a very sweet personality and truly shines around other small dogs, whom she loves to play with. While she’s still shy with humans, she’s learning that people can be kind and safe, and she does best with patience, routine, and a calm environment. Lola is currently working on house training and making progress as she adjusts to life in a home. Like many dogs who haven’t had this experience before, she just needs consistency and understanding while she learns. One thing she’s already mastered? Dinner time. When Lola is hungry, she will confidently stomp right up to you and bark to make sure you didn’t forget—proof that there’s a little sass hiding under that shy exterior ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 Her ideal home would be a quiet, loving household, with another small dog to help her feel confident, and humans who are willing to let her move at her own pace. In return, you’ll get a gentle soul who is learning how wonderful it is to be someone’s cherished companion. Lola is not a lap dog, she is held every day but at thisa time her foster Mom doesn't feel like she enjoys it. Lola did have a dental and lost all of her teeth except two. She currently eats canned food sp[rinkled with small dry kibble with a little warm water added. Lola does not walk on a leash so she will need a fenced yard to keep her safe when going outside. I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative 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
Sometimes rescue asks us to listen — not to policies, not to preferences — not to what we “normally” do…but to the dogs themselves. We believe most dogs can thrive independently with the right support. Often, they don’t need each other; they just need “someone”. ✋ But Polly and Popcorn are the exception. Popcorn went in for surgery today. And for 7½ hours, Polly was completely inconsolable. 👉 She paced endlessly. 👉 She shook uncontrollably. 👉 She whined, barked, and cried. 👉 She searched. 👉 She was visibly distressed — not anxious, not unsettled — heartbroken 💔 She could not rest. She could not be comforted. Even though she was surrounded by dog friends, it didn’t matter…she could not understand why part of her was gone. And then Popcorn came back. The moment he returned, Polly climbed into bed with him. She gently licked his face. She wrapped herself around him like she was making sure he was real - that he was safe - that he wasn’t leaving again. Within minutes, they were asleep together. ☮️ 💐 Peace restored. Her world is right again. We have seen a lot in rescue. We do not make decisions like this lightly. But after today, it is clear: separating Polly and Popcorn would cause real emotional harm. For Polly especially, being without Popcorn is not just uncomfortable — it is devastating. So with full hearts and absolute certainty, we are asking for something special. ✨✨✨ Polly (9 yrs) and Popcorn (3 months) must be adopted together. They are not just companions. They are comfort. They are safety. They are home for each other. If you believe in love that looks like this — quiet, fierce, unwavering — 💗💗💗 If you have room in your heart and your home for two souls who belong together, these 2 need you. Because sometimes, the greatest act of rescue is simply not tearing love apart. If you would like to give them BOTH a home, just fill out an application at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. Their combined adoption fee is $500 and includes their spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Meet-and-Greets can be scheduled with Approved Adopters. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤
