Story
Approx. DOB:  10/3/24                Approx Weight: 14.6 Lbs Adoption Fee: $275 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness!                       Hershey is full grown at 14pds! Hershey was released to rescue by the owner who said he didn't want him but gave no reason why. We have found this small guy to be really sweet and loving. He isn't the type of fella that likes being held very long. Probably due to his young, active personality. Hershey loves being petted and sitting on your lap. Hershey loves meeting new people and can come off as being shy. It doesn't last long because he wants all the loving he can get. He has been great meeting new dogs. Hershey is submissive at first until he knows the dog is friendly. We have taken him on a few walks and he seems to enjoy them. He wears a harness and it will go home with him when adopted. We also send him to his new home with a collar and leash.  He has done really well being crated. We have been working on the marking by having him wear a belly band that deters this. He seems to be really smart and he is eager to please his humans. We will send one home with him when he is adopted. He will also go home with a collar and leash.  Hershey loves his toys. So far none have been destroyed. We can cat test him if needed. Hershey is going to make some lucky family happy when they adopt him. Give this little guy a chance and fill out the application. Our small dogs tend to get adopted quickly.  I have been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed 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 Bella 💕 Bella is a 13-year-old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix who is looking for a soft place to land for her golden years. She’s a gentle senior girl who still enjoys the best things in life — car rides, naps in the sun, pup cups, cozy dog beds, toys, and snuggling up in the human bed close to her people of course. Bella gets along well with other calm, small dogs and has a quiet, easygoing personality. She will be your best co-worker if you work from home and would do best with someone who is home more than they are away. Like many senior pups, she does have some incontinence and occasional accidents in the house, so she’ll need a patient adopter who understands that aging dogs sometimes need a little extra grace and care. What Bella offers in return is companionship, sweetness, and the kind of love only a senior dog can give. She deserves a home where she can feel safe, comfortable, and cherished for the rest of her days. 🩷 If you are interested in meeting Bella, please fill out an application via our website at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TRP/Dog and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. Bella's adoption fee is $50 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, deworm, and HW testing.
