Story
Stromboli is currently on a foster home and this is what his foster has to say about him: " Stromboli is the epitome of a goofy love bug. He loves his family, treats, and time outside in the sun. After a romp in the yard or walk around the block, this boy just wants to become a total couch potato. He gets along well with other dogs. We are currently working on leash walking and house manners including potty and crate training. He learns quickly and is eager to do whatever he can for a treat! Sweet Stromboli would be a great companion for someone who likes to get outside during the day and snuggle up in the evenings."This big boy may be a bit shy at first, but will open up after getting to know you. He gets along well with his canine foster sibling and may benefit from another dog in his adoptive home. Due to his size and exuberance he would do better in a home with no cats or small children. Stromboli is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and ready to meet his forever family!If you would like to learn more about him or meet him, please email foster@kcpetproject.org.

Story
This gentle giant is Sumo, a 7 year old Bulldog, weighing in at a mere 125 pounds. This guy was found as a stray and dropped off to us, so we don't know much about him, but we do think he was in a home before. Sumo keeps his kennel clean each day. He is sweet and friendly with people but when attending doggy playgroup, he is unsocialized, he was shy and nervous with the dogs, wanted to keep safe, and had no aggression. When out on a doggy day out, Sumo was ever so gentle and calm. He was a breeze to walk and doesn't pull, which is good since he is pretty strong. He was cautious and timid though, in certain situations. Definitely not something to be expected from this big guy, so he will need someone who can give him assurance and help to build his confidence. This guy would love to find that special home, where he is treated as one of the family. Who has a nice soft bed for this amazing, gentle giant? Sumo comes neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Story
Kylo is a TON of fun! He loves to play ball and is such a doll doing it that you won't want to stop, even when your arm gets sore. He's a sweet, derpy kind of pup, which is our very favorite kind. He's met a dog-friendly cat and did just fine. He likes other dogs, too! Kylo loves his human friends a LOT, so much that his excitement bubbles over into his puppy toes and he jumps for joy and wants to touch you sooooo badly, but tries really hard not to. Even so, his exuberance might be a titch much for the little kids. Kylo is so eager to please people that he's learning basic obedience, the ins and outs of being the best dog he can be, at The Pet Connection (Official) and loving every minute of it. Treats sure do make it even more fun for Kylo and the other dogs in our care! But he's already 12/10 a very good boy! Kylo takes food soooo gently that you wouldn't even know he has teeth. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info! Kylo is in the KC metro but transport is available to the right home.

Story
Johnson is a stunning boy with his light-colored eyes and brindle fawn and white coat. He's around one to two years old and weighs only 40 pounds. He's a real snuggle bug, too! He seems tolerant with other dogs and he can be tested with dog-friendly cats. With a proper introduction, he could be a great dog for a home with dog-savvy children, or parents willing to work with both Johnson and their kiddos on proper introductions and handling. This guy is a great all-around dog for most families! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Johnson! He's in the KC metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

Hi there, I'm Spike! I'm a young pup full of sweetness and curiosity. My days are filled with exploring my surroundings, figuring out how things work, and of course, playing with my favorite squeaky toy. I'm known for my friendly and cuddly nature, always ready for a good snuggle. I'm smart too, quick to learn new tricks and commands. But I'm also a bit goofy, which makes for some fun and laughter-filled times. I can be a bit selective with my doggy friends, but with the right introduction, we'll get along just fine. I promise to bring so much joy and love to your home. So, why not consider adopting me? You won't regret it, I promise!

Story
Bonnie came to the shelter in October, that is over 170 days in the shelter and we do not want it to become 200. We know there is a family out there for this wonderful girl. Bonnie is a 2 year old spayed female dog who has the most endearing underbite. Her face puts a smile on ours everyday. She weighs a little over 60 lbs. She is very people focused, that training her is a breeze. Even on walks, she will pay attention to her handler. She keeps her kennel clean and rarely barks. Bonnie should be an only dog in the home, but during meet and greets she has done well with families and kids. She plays really rough, but she can pack walk with dogs and co-exist with them on the other side of the fence. Bring the family down to meet Sweet Bonnie, and let this girl melt your heart right into your home.

Story
If you're looking for that bully breed smile and cuddling personality then Sadie is your girl! She's all love and wiggles with humans and doesn't know a stranger. She is good with most other dogs, but can be over reactive to high arousal situations. Meaning no dog parks for this girl. She loves to play with toys and will throw the toy and chase it down herself. She loves her people and wants to be with you. She doesn't like cats and she's nervous in new situations. Sadie came from a terrible hoarding situation. (https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/ray-county-sheriffs-office-breaks-up-puppy-mill-50-to-70-dogs-found-on-property) she is looking for a forever home willing to give her stability, rules, and help her be her best self. Sadie is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200.

Story
Stewey/Stewie/Stuey was found by PRCKC Outreach December 26th. He'd been hanging around outside an apartment complex for at least 5 days in the cold and rain. It took some coaxing, but the Outreach Team was able to gain Stuart's trust enough to get him to a safe place. Stuart was transferred to us and quickly found a foster home where he is adjusting to being a puppy. He's unsure about new people, especially men but warms up with a little patience and food. Stuart is kennel trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is mostly house trained. Understandably he's a little afraid to go outside in the cold. He has a fantastic pack of foster dogs to help teach him how to be a puppy and a part of a family. Stuart likes to snuggle with his human foster parents, nap curled up with one of his foster siblings or with the laundry. I'm guessing he'll be about 60-70 lbs full grown (he only weighs ~33# now and he's still skinny).
