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 this 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
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!

These pups are in Kansas City, Missouri too!

Story
Meet Callie our newest resident, a lovely 6-year-old Bichon Frise weighing in at a perfect 14 lbs. While she had a rough start and arrived with extreme matting that required a full shave, she is now clean, comfortable, and ready for her second chance at life! Her Personality: Right now, Callie is a bit shy as she adjusts to her new surroundings. However, we’ve already seen her "spark"—the moment she sees other dogs, her tail starts wagging! We have no doubt that with a little patience and love, she will blossom into a confident companion. She allows you to pick her up but since she hasn't been held before she isn't sure where to put her limbs so she will have them going in all directions. She rides well in the car. She just sits on the passenger seat. You can see her nose sniffing as she takes in the "free smells" She is a great couch companion. She has watched many football games and movies with our family. If you want a companion for the super bowl here is your girl :) Health & Wellness: We have taken care of everything so she can head into her forever home healthy! Her $380 adoption fee covers: Full Spay & Microchip Rabies & Core Vaccines Heartworm Testing Dental: She just had a professional cleaning and 6 teeth removed. She is a resilient girl who is finally getting the care she deserves. She is ready to meet her forever family! Adoption Process: - STEP 1: Please fill out our adoption application: https://www.dayofthedogs.org/adoption-application - STEP 2: One of our team members will get back to you via phone. - Our dogs can be seen by appointment only. We do not have a facility at this time. Dogs are in foster homes or boarding. FYI we are in Kansas City, MO. Petfinder still hasn't update our location from Indiana. - Adoption fee helps to cover transport costs, spay/neuter, initial vaccines, rabies, fecal, initial worming, and microchip. -We do not place holds on our dogs. Please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt. NOTE: We are very good about updating the pet's profiles once adopted. So no need to write us to ask "Is he/she still available?" If the post is up, the dog is still available. About Us: Day of the Dogs is a 501c3 nonprofit. Since 2015 we have been dedicated to helping shelters increase live release. We coordinate 2 - 4 transports per month from TX, OK and AR to NW Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City area. We do direct adoptions ourselves out of Kansas City and NW Indiana areas. We also partner with other rescues and shelters in IN, IL, KS and MO that are willing to help southern pets in need. We rely on donations to help fund our ongoing transports. Please donate if you can. Every dollar adds up and we are grateful for any help we can get: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/DayoftheDogs
