Story
We show our dogs by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting Quill, please first fill out our online adoption application at kcpaws.org. Quill's adoption fee will be $175. PLEASE READ BIOGRAPHY BEFORE APPLYING Meet Quill, he is a 4-6 year old Husky/Akita Mix who came to us after spending most of his life on a chain. He has loved getting to live life to the fullest since coming to our rescue and enjoys his daily walks and runs and playing fetch in the yard with staff. Quill has warmed up well to the staff here at KC PAWS and has particularly bonded with the manager there, it is clear that once he is bonded and trust someone he is a friendly and affectionate dog. However due to his past he sometimes is weary of strangers approaching him. He is not the type of dog that would like being in large crowds or having strangers come up to pet him during walks. He will also need his potential adopter to be willing to do multiple visits with him before adoption. Quill has met a few female dogs that he has gotten along well with, however he does not like to interact with other male dogs especially if they are his size or larger. He would do best with a female dog around his size. He does need a home with no small dogs, or cats. He would not be an appropriate fit for a home with children as he does not like for people to be in his face leaning over him and children on his level would be frightening for him. Quill is a very active, high energy dog and LOVES to run. He would be an excellent match for someone looking for a running, hiking, adventure buddy. Quill is kennel trained and keeps his run at the shelter clean. He also loves to go for car rides. Quill needs an experienced dog owner who will be willing to really work on training and socializing. He is not an appropriate fit for a first time dog owner or someone who has no previous training experience.

Story
This sweet sweet girl has quite a story for being only 8 months old!! Brynnley was found trapped inside a garage - starving to near death and pregnant!!😵 Isn’t 8 months too young for a pregnancy?! YES!!! It is!! But this amazing girl persevered against all odds - all for her one little girl-babe - she gave birth on 10/19 - and she is the best mamma!! ❤️ She has regained her own strength and weight (about 45 pounds) all while nursing a healthy roly-poly babe. 🥰 Soon she will be ready to find her own forever family where she can get back to being a puppy herself!! Brynnley LOVES people, takes direction well and is completely trusting despite all she’s been through. She also gets along well with her foster siblings (dogs) and with regular access to outside, she is house trained. No experience with cats but likely to do fine with them. ✨ All Heart of America Humane Society dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Lee • Siberian Husky • 4.5 Years Old Meet Lee — a striking, blue-eyed, red-and-white Siberian Husky with the spirit of an adventurer. Lee spent the first part of his life in a home with many dogs who were later abandoned, so he’s still learning what “normal family life” means. He is housebroken but may have the occasional accident as he continues to adjust — understandable after being confined indoors 24/7 for a long period. He’s extremely affectionate, gently goofy, and loves being close to his people (especially perching behind you on the couch like a parrot 😄). Personality & Training Very sweet and people-loving Good with respectful kids and other dogs No cats — typical of his breed, he has a strong prey drive Knows sit, down, wait, and paw Learning that kisses = good, playful nibbling = not so much LOVES toys, especially squeaky ones, plus duck jerky treats and even sandwich cookies Typical Husky traits: Siberian Huskies are an athletic, intelligent, high-energy working breed known for their playful, vocal, escape-artist tendencies — and Lee is the perfect example of that! He has just discovered he can clear a 6-foot fence, so he must have a secure yard with a tall, solid fence. Ideal Home Lee is looking for an active family familiar with Husky needs — plenty of play, mental stimulation, and adventure time. He thrives on attention, affection, and having a job to do, even if that job is just making you laugh. If you’re ready for a loyal, athletic, loving companion who will make every day more fun — Lee is your guy. ❤️🐾 ✨ All Heart of America Humane Society dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Bailey – Female •Husky Mix • 6 Weeks Bailey is the single, sweet little pup of a very young mama who survived a tough start. Her mom was one of many dogs left behind in a home after the owner went to jail. At just 8 months old and badly underweight, she arrived into rescue only days before Bailey was born. Thanks to good care and a safe place to land, both mom and pup have been thriving. Bailey is a friendly, wiggly girl who already loves people and enjoys exploring her surroundings. She has the softest reddish coat, adorable white toes, and a happy, social temperament. She’s expected to be a medium to larger dog when grown—likely somewhere in the 45–60 lb range. She will be ready for adoption once she is old enough, vaccinated appropriately, and spayed. For now, we’re accepting applications so she can have her forever family lined up when she’s ready. If you’re looking for a loving, resilient little pup with a great start in her foster home, Bailey may be the perfect fit.
