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!

Hello my name is Goober. I am a very handsome maltese boy. I am a very good boy looking for my retirement home so I may enjoy the rest of my life. I enjoy the house but also enjoy the outdoors. And a bonus I have already been neutered and had my teeth cleaned. The ladies here take very good care of us. So if you would like to come and meet me and hopefully adopt me. Let them know and they would be happy to set that up for you.

Story
*****A fenced in yard and confident friendly dog in the home would be best***** ✨ Clover is Still Waiting… ✨ Meet Clover, a 3-year-old former mill dog who finally got her Thanksgiving miracle — freedom, safety, and her first real chance at a happy life. 💚🍀 Clover has come so far, but she’s still a shy, sensitive girl who needs a family with unlimited patience, gentle arms, a calm home, and a securely fenced yard. (Yes — a fenced yard is required.) She is tiny and quick, and still has a little “catch me if you can” energy, so safety is everything for her. What Clover does love? 💚 Being held by her foster mom 💚 Cuddling with her furry foster siblings 💚 Quiet moments, gentle reassurance, and someone who understands her pace 💚 Having another calm dog to show her the ropes Once she’s in your arms, she melts right in — she just needs someone willing to help her feel brave every day. She has healed from her spay, she’s getting braver with every sunrise, and she’s so ready for a patient family willing to love her exactly as she is. Clover has tried cute accessories… she’s tried humor… she’s even tried Thanksgiving-themed glamour shots… but what she really wants is a family who sees her — her sweetness, her softness, her hope. 💛 If you have a peaceful home, a secure fenced yard, and a gentle doggy friend to help her continue blossoming, please consider giving this beautiful girl the forever she’s been dreaming of. With love, Clover 🍀💛

Story
*A fenced in yard is needed* Pearl will be fixed mid October and will be available to go home then- she is accepting applications which will be called the week of the 20th. Pearl is a very nervous girl who would need a very quiet home and patient owners. She needs to be carried outside into a play yard or kept on a leash at all times. She was a breeder release who spent most of her life with humans who did not pay much positive attention to her, so she is scared of people. She does want attention and allows you to hold her, but she does run when you bend down to pick her up and does not come willingly. Pearl is partially potty trained and could use some work but does well in a crate. She would do best with a confident dog friend.
