Story
In late Janaury if 2021 I got a call from my mother who works at a animial hospital. A client had brought in this small pittie pup who was found wondering the streets after a snow storm. We decided to go get her and see how she got along with our other two dogs. Things panned out and we were able to keep her. Fastforward to 2024...she has developed some jelousy towards one of our dogs. The other one she gets completely along with so I think this may just be a compatability issue. We have worked hard to accomodate their differences however keeping either one locked in a kennel for long periods of time is just not a good life. She is sweet an affectioate to all humans...we had a baby in 2022 and she has done great with him. I believe she would do best in a home as the only dog and or another dog she can get along with. We just want her to continue to have a good life and not be stuck in a kennel alot of the time .

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.

Hudson is 3 to 4 years old and weighs 77 lbs . He is neutered and up to date on vaccines , is on a monthly heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick. Hudson has been an apartment dog since being adopted 2 years ago . He is pretty mellow as he likes to nap and lounge on the couch alot. He does get to go for some walks and loves them. They are very limited as it is risky that we run into another dog. He is reactive so he don't get much exercise . He is a big cuddle bug and wants to be with me or on me all the time. Hudson love to give kisses. He loves his treats and dinner time. He lets me bath him, trim his nails, clean his ears, brush his teeth. He does great at the vet for all his pokes. He is is a gentle giant. Hudson needs a home with a yard and no other pets. He needs to be able to run and get exercise . Hudson has had training can sit, lay down go to kennel, shake. He goes to the door and sits to let you know when he needs to go out and go potty. He is very smart!

We have had her since she was a tiny little pup. She was born on thanksgiving day in 2016. She is 9 years old. She was a gift to my husband for his birthday. She is a sweet girl. Loves to play with rope and balls. Very energetic loves outside. Loves to give kisses. She does not do well with other animals or small children (toddlers). She is sometimes very nervous. In a new home, she should be the only animal, tons of kisses and loves, and hours of play, and plenty room to run. And loves car rides. loves to sleep on the bed and under covers and she loves cuddles. She loves to sit right next to you and as close as possible.

Story
“Kippy has a calm, gentle presence that draws you in. She doesn’t demand attention — she offers herself, and that kind of love is hard to forget. That quiet trust is what makes her so special.” – Foster Mom. Miss Kippy is a 2-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing 50 pounds. She has the most stunning brindle coat and those perky ears, gah! Under all that beauty is a gentle, observant, and quietly affectionate lady. Kippy gets along with every dog she meets, both male and female. Kippy has met confident barn cats and showed curiosity without aggression or chasing. Because the cats did not run, we cannot say for sure how she would respond to a fearful or fast-moving cat. Continued supervision and slow introductions would be necessary in a home with cats. Kip is calm, patient, and comfortable around kids. Miss Kippy enjoys food-based enrichment such as Kongs filled with peanut butter and bully sticks. She is always up for a walk and time outside, but does not require high levels of exercise. This smart gal is house-trained and can be trusted to sleep on her dog bed at night. Kip knows “sit,” and can easily learn many more commands. Kippy is learning that the world can be safe. She is still gaining confidence in new environments. She would be best suited for a home that values calm energy and patience over fast expectations. A consistent routine, gentle guidance, and positive reinforcement will help her continue to build confidence. Kippy will come to you spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $175. If you feel you and Kip would make a good match, head over to PawsitiveTailsKC.org and fill out an adoption application. Approved applicants will be contacted to set up a meet-and-greet. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤
