Story
Meet Cocoa – Your Future Walking Buddy! Currently at Burlingame Animal Hospital | 5 years old | Spayed Pitbull Mix Cocoa is a beautiful brindle sweetheart with a heart as warm as her name! At 5 years old, she’s the perfect blend of gentle energy and calm companionship. Cocoa has completed her heartworm treatment (diagnosed 1/16/2024, completed 4/24/2024), and officially tested heartworm negative on 1/22/2025. She’s been on prevention ever since and is healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home! Cocoa has also received basic obedience training, making her a well-mannered girl who’s eager to please. She's sweet, especially once she builds trust, and while she enjoys playtime, she's still learning how to fully let loose. She absolutely loves her walks and would make a wonderful walking companion—or she’d be just as content with a yard to explore and relax in. Ideal Home: Cocoa would do best as the only pet in the household, but she may do well with another large dog if introduced properly and patiently. After over a year at Burlingame Animal Hospital, Cocoa is more than ready to find a family to call her own. With her sweet personality, obedience skills, and loving spirit, Cocoa is just waiting for the right person to give her the home she’s been dreaming of.

Maya is a 4 year old hyper girl. She's super sweet and loves people! She needs a lot of love and a big backyard. She'll be great for any one who needs a running partner or has kids that need a playmate. She will need a slow introduction to other pets, but she will be great once they get to know her. She is blanket thief and a cuddle hog!

Story
🐱 🐈 🐱 Cat Friendly 🐱 🐈 🐱 From day one, Vinny will come in, get comfortable and make himself part of the family. He’s a truly good dude who loves his peeps and wants to do what they’re doing. He has a great balance of activities he enjoys, and he adjusts his energy level to whatever’s happening. He is all about going outside and running and playing. But if everyone else around him is calm, then he will lay down for a nap. Good boi, Vinny! He knows sit, paw and kennel, and he’s working on other commands like leave it, down and wait. He’s food-motivated, so he wants to listen and get that treat. He does well on training. He is about 10 months old, so he has a bit of puppy in him, but he’s catching on to the big-boy stuff quickly. He’ll probably be about 55 lbs. by the time he fills out. Vinny will go off and play in the yard, but he likes to check in with his people in between and afterwards. He doesn’t have to be on you or glued to you, but he’d make for a great companion at your side or by your feet if you’re working at home or lounging. He’s not needy, just really seems to like his humans. He loves to play fetch or play tug-of-war with other dogs, and also likes chew toys. Pretty much, if you have it, Vinny will like it. He leaves the cat alone. He is fully house trained and is crate trained – that’s where he sleeps at night. Vinny often barks to say hello. He’s a talker and thinks that’s the best way to make friends. His foster people are working to socialize him a lot so he can get the idea that barking might not always have that effect. He’s sooo friendly and good, that he just doesn’t seem to understand it all quite yet – but he’s still young. Vinny is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped, plus he’s current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $175. Meet & greets will be scheduled with approved adopters from PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story
Sister Girl makes each of her people feel like they’re her favorite. Every person goes on feeling so special that Sister Girl always puts her head on their shoulder or lays next to them while they eat dinner – until they talk to one another, and compare notes, and find out that Sister Girl treats everyone that special! They are all her favorites. She is a 3-year-old pittie who is such a dear heart. She is still gaining weight with a healthy diet, so she’ll be 50ish lbs. of loving kindness. She has met children and adults, dogs and cats, and she does will with everyone. Especially those people. As soon as you kneel down to say hi to her, she’ll give you kisses or even lean in for a full hug. Before you know it, you’ll be getting the full Sister Girl treatment and will be part of her circle. Psst, don’t tell anyone, but we have found an instant cure to a bad day: Sister Girl in your lap for pets. Better than therapy. She walks well on a leash, she’s easy-going no matter where she is, and she is eager to please. She sleeps all night, and she’s house trained and crate trained. People have a vision for the dog they want to adopt and make part of their family. Your vision may not be a black pittie girl whose heart and eyes are full of love, but ohhhh my goodness, don’t miss out on the sweetest girl. Sister Girl is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and current on preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick. Her adoption fee is $175. To meet her is to love her, so apply to adopt today at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story
Hello! I am Nita and I am searching for an active family to call my own. I am house trained and kennel trained. I really enjoy pleasing my people and am treat motivated! I am also smart and pick up on things easily. I do like children and most dogs. However I would probably do best in a home without other dogs or with a fairly low energy dog. Higher energy dogs and myself might be better not to live in the same space. If you are a family ready for an active girl, please fill out an application at https://savingdeathrowdogs.rescuegroups.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 6:32 pm
