Story

Dolce is a total doll and such a love bug. She's not even two years old, weighs about 40 pounds, and adores cuddling under blankets. She can't get enough of her orange ball, which she chews like gum. Tug of war is a whole lot of fun, too. And water? Oh, yes, please! Dolce looooves water. She might even be part duck! This girl has had a rough life and will need a patient human willing to give her some time and space to settle into her new home. Dolce would prefer a home without little kids because she thinks they are kind of scary. Please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 if you're interested in learning more about this lovely pup! Dolce is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She's eligible for a no- cost adoption with an encouraged donation to The Pet Connection. She's in the Kansas City metro, but we will transport her to the right home.

Story

Hidey ho, my human friends! I'm Cress, a 2-year-old pittie mix looking for my purpose in life. Oh, and a home, I'm also looking for a home. More specifically, I'm looking for an active home that will give me a job to do. Not like a paying job, mind you! I'm thinking more along the lines of a volunteer job. For example, want to fetch balls? I'm your girl! Want to play frisbee? That's me! How about running? I'm down with that! Want to play hide and seek with treats? I'm all in! You see, I have high energy and drive and need mental and physical exercise to keep me healthy and happy. Once I'm done with my "job" I settle in for some love and affection. I'm a really good student if you give me consistent training. I already know "sit" and am a good treat taker. As a bonus, I seem to like other dogs, with the proper introduction. (You just can't rush finding the right friends -- am I right?) Think we might be a good match? Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information and to set up a meeting with me! Please contact The Pet Connection if you can foster, adopt, or sponsor a special needs dog or cat. 913-671-7387 Text. Www.thepetconnection.net.

Story

"Well, she's amazing. And adorable. And THE BEST SNUGGLER. She likes to bury herself in blankets on the couch, then get down and run around like a little kid in a ghost Halloween costume. She has had a few canines removed but still chews bones just fine. Her kisses are just a lil extra gummy. She hates storms and will charge out the door barking at the sky like it offended her ancestors if there is thunder." It's Wednesday, a pretty pit bull mix looking for a patient and loving home! She's initially timid with new people and things but is an affectionate, fun pooch once she knows you and settles in. Wednesday will thrive in a home of her own. All it takes is some time and plenty of treats and she'll open up to you and let you into her world. Wednesday will be your loyal companion every single day of the week. Wednesday is staying in the Kansas City metro, but transport is available to the right home. With her adoption, you'll get the ongoing support of The Pet Connection for her training needs! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 any day of the week for more information on Wednesday! #thepetconnectionks #adoptdontshop #adoptWednesdaytoday

Clover

Pit Bull Terrier

Story

Clover is energetic and soooo much fun! She's also cute as a button and only about three years old. She came to City of Raytown Animal Services very thin and scared, but she's warmed up and is now an attention hog! She does well with dogs after a slow introduction. Because Clover is still working on her enthusiastic greetings, she'd do best in a home with no small kids. Older kids who can handle Clover's initial enthusiasm should be fine. (The Pet Connection will help you with Clover's training.) Clover will make a fabulous companion with just a small amount of training. She didn't have the best start to life, but by giving her time and patience, you can make sure she gets the second chance she deserves. If you'd like to meet Clover, stop by the shelter at 10312 E. 63rd St., Raytown, MO, during regular business hours, or call the shelter at 816-737-7025. You can also call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information. #MelodyHuff #ThePetConnection #ThePetConnectionKS #DogAdoption #RaytownPets #AnimalShelter #AdoptDontShop #PetRescue #DogLovers #PuppyLove #ShelterDog #MissouriPets

Story

Meet Rocky, a very good boy available through City of Raytown Animal Services. He gets a 10/10 on the pose, right? Well, he's more than just stunning good looks! This guy knows how to "sit." He's good on leash. He loves snuggles (bonus!). And he really loves to roll on his back and play with his toys in the yard. Rocky is great with other dogs, cats, and older kids. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and is a playful and fun-loving boy! He also likes to practice for when he gets a home of his own. One time, a volunteer took Rocky on a doggie day out! They went for a long walk on the trail and popped in for a Pup Cup with whipped cream just for Rocky!! He loved the workers there and especially his treat! Rocky's looking forward to his next doggie day out, for sure. Better yet, he's looking for a foster or forever home! If you're interested in meeting Rocky, stop by at 10312 E. 63rd St., Raytown, MO, call 816-737-7025, or call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. Rocky is in the Kansas City metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

Meet Diamond – A Shining Soul with a Heart of Gold! 💎 🎉 DIAMOND'S ADOPTION FEE IS FULLY SPONSORED BY APPLIANCE SHARK (appliance-shark.com)! Thanks to their generosity, this deserving girl can find her forever home with no adoption fee! Diamond is a beautiful 5-year-old black Pit Bull/Lab mix with a playful personality, an affectionate side, and a story of remarkable resilience. After experiencing severe neglect and arriving in heartbreaking condition, Diamond has blossomed into a sweet, goofy companion who is ready for the loving home she deserves. Diamond knows how to enjoy life's simple pleasures! She loves her toys, enjoys going for walks, and occasionally breaks into the most adorable zoomies. She's also got a wonderfully affectionate side. Diamond enjoys belly rubs, likes lying close to her favorite people, and, according to her previous foster, loves cuddling and sleeping beside her humans. She's a pleasure to take on walks, with lovely leash manners and an enthusiasm for getting outside. And recently, after a hiatus from adoption events, Diamond made her return and did absolutely wonderfully! Even with other dogs and plenty of activity around her, she remained calm, quiet, and composed. It was a wonderful reminder of how well this sweet girl can handle a busy environment. Diamond would enjoy a home where she can have regular walks, playtime, and opportunities to explore, followed by some quality relaxation with her people. She may even be a candidate for apartment living, provided her exercise and enrichment needs are met and the environment is a good fit. And here's something especially encouraging: Diamond previously spent more than a year living in a foster home! She's reported to be house-trained and has also demonstrated excellent kennel habits, consistently keeping her space clean. At the shelter, she's generally calm and quiet, without observed pacing or other obvious signs of distress. When meeting unfamiliar men, Diamond can be a little cautious. Rather than barking, she's been observed stepping back to give herself some space. A patient approach that allows her to get comfortable at her own pace can help her build trust. Diamond does have some important needs that her future family should understand. She has a history of resource guarding involving valued items, so her adopter should be comfortable respecting her boundaries and following positive, reward-based management and training guidance. Someone willing to learn, be consistent, and work with her needs may be a wonderful match. For now, Diamond is seeking an adults-only home where she can be the only pet. While she has shown encouraging calm behavior around other dogs at adoption events, her ability to share a home with another dog has not recently been assessed. Her current placement recommendations remain in place while her needs are reviewed. Above all, Diamond needs someone who sees the wonderful companion she is today: playful, affectionate, occasionally silly, and happiest when she can enjoy life's everyday moments with someone she trusts. After all she's overcome, Diamond deserves a home where she can finally settle in, feel safe, and be cherished. Could you be the person who gives Diamond her happily ever after? 💖 Diamond is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, giving an approved applicant the opportunity to welcome her into their home and get to know her before finalizing adoption. It's a wonderful way to discover whether Diamond is the right match while helping her begin the next chapter of her life! ----------------------------------------- Interested in adopting? Apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. An approved adoption application is required before a meet-and-greet can be scheduled. Once approved, we'll work with you to determine whether it's a good match. And if it's not, no worries! We'll help you find the right companion. All of our dogs are adoption-ready and come: • Spayed or neutered • Heartworm tested • Dewormed • Up-to-date on prevention medications • Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped

Story

😱 Oh my Dog, will ya look at that face? 😍 Uh oh ⚠️, we can already tell that it’s useless to try to resist Marshall. You will give him everything you think he wants – and probably more 😜 – for the rest of his life, because of his soft brown eyes and 😇 innocent expression. If what you’re offering up involves treats and snuggles, he’s got it made in the shade. Marshall is a 10-month-old pittie mix, and he came from a hoarding situation, so he’s just now getting to experience the good life 👌. We think he’ll be around 50 pounds with some square meals and time to grow. He has such a mellow, calm vibe. Though he’s a young guy, he’s more about quality time with his people and dog friends than quantity of activities – or quantity of steps, lol 🥱. If you like to navigate life with your dog by your side 👯, Marshall could be the ideal candidate for that. He has a grounding and fun presence. Oh, and cute- definitely cute- presence ☺️. He comes when he’s called, and in just a short time he’s learned sit and down. He’s also doing pretty well on the leash. He’s bringing his cuddle game to anyone willing, as well 🧸. He really wants to please his people, so he’ll stick close by and listen nicely – doubly so, if you have a treat 🥓🌭. He is great with other dogs, friendly with people, and he hasn’t been around a cat yet. Marshall understandably has some separation anxiety, but it lessens as his surroundings get more familiar 🏡. When he’s within eyesight of people, everything is 💯, but without them, he may take time to settle. He would do well to have a confident dog sibling in the home, and his people will need to be patient as he gets the lay of the land. He should have at least a 5-foot fence. Look into his eyes, fall under Marshall’s spell 😵‍💫, you know you want to. Give him a bit of time, and you’ll be rewarded with the best doggone friend 🥇. Marshall is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. He’ll also come to you current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $175. Meet & greets will be scheduled with approved adopters. 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🐕

Story

Maybe you can help us solve a little mystery: Why hasn’t Scrappy Doo had any serious applications in almost a year? Let's unmask the mystery, like Scrappy's namesake cartoon, and turn this puzzle into a satisfactory ending for our guy. Scrappy Doo is a happy, playful, social dude who likes everyone he meets – human or dog. He is good with kids, and he is fun and pretty adorable with that charming smile of his. He is about 3 years old, weighs just under 60 lbs. and is a Pittie/Mastiff Cane Corso mix. He came into foster because someone witnessed one of his previous people physically hurting our sweet guy. In spite of how he was treated, Scrappy sees the best in people and is one of those triumphant spirits who has his compass firmly pointed in the direction of living his best life and never looking back. He has the most endearing bow legs, and his ears make different decisions every day about which way to point. He loves his toys and his friends, and just wants to have a good time. After playtime, he likes to cuddle up with his people and snuggle right in. He likes to play and mix it up with other dogs, and he definitely gets along with all of them. Recently we’ve discovered that some of his previous mistreatment may have physically affected him more than we realized. So, he should live with a dog(s) who he can banter with but maybe not play too rough and tumble, so he doesn’t get hurt. Or, he’d do great as an only dog too, so you can dote on him every day. He is house trained and crate trained and knows how to behave around the house, like every good sidekick should. None of those clues above have helped us understand why Scrappy has lingered in foster for this long – what do you think? He’s just a regular guy looking for a regular furever home where he’ll be appreciated for the rest of his life. Is that your home? Scrappy Doo is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $175. To meet him, apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤 APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤

Story

🐱🐱Cat-friendly 🐱🐱 Maybe you already have a sister, or maybe you don’t, but it’s not too late to gain one! My name is Sister Girl, and I’d like to be the next member of your family. I don’t have to be a sibling, though – I can be the kid or the bonus parent, or whoever you need me to be. No rivalries from me, just acceptance, love and friendship. I love people and am a social lady. I like my squeaky toys and enjoy going on walks. Take me along wherever you’re going, because car rides are a favorite pastime for me. Once I’ve collected pets, belly rubs and scratches from all the people and wagged my tail all over town, I’d love to come home and snuggle on your lap or right next to you. I love those smaller people you call kids too – I think they deserve extra kisses from me just for being cute. I am about 3 years old, and I weigh 50 pounds. I’m a grown-up girl, so I know how to do things like sit and stay, and I don’t make messes or get into stuff that’s not mine around the house. I like to do fun stuff like play fetch, go for walks and maybe chase a squirrel or two in the backyard – hey, you don’t know how annoying those little things are! But I also am good at lounging with my people when they watch that TV. I want to please you and be your best girl, so I’m always listening and trying my best to do as you ask. I don’t mind cats at all – I get along with them just fine. I prefer to be the only dog around the house, which won’t affect you at all if you don’t have other dogs. We’ll just be buddies, and I’ll show you all my love, protect you and make your world happier. I’m really a gentle soul who just wants to be your ride or die. Sister Girl is house trained, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She’ll come to you current on heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Her adoption fee is $175.

Story

😽Cat Friendly😽 Let us tell you why the American Pitbull is so popular and makes an ideal family pet! Pitbulls are loving, goofy, and loyal. They are typically good with children, which is one reason why they are considered a good family pet. Many people love their short hair and the fact that they shed less than many other breeds. They are also smart dogs who catch on to training easily. Most have big, expressive personalities that make them fun adventure buddies. Yanick is all of this and more! He is a 1-year-old American Pitbull mix who weighs 47 pounds. His foster describes him as a sweet, sensitive, walking comedy show! This guy has a big smile and enjoys giving kisses and receiving affection. He is energetic, which makes him a great dog for an active family. Yanick is deaf and is currently learning to communicate using ASL (American Sign Language). He is very intelligent and has mastered several "good boy" manners. 🤟Knows the ASL signs sit, down, stay, no jumping, leave it, and place. He will also recall with an ASL sign. 👍House trained 👍Crate trained 👍Good with other dogs 👍Good with cats, chickens, and other dogs 👍Loves car rides 👍Good with children- older children might be a better fit due to his exuberant personality! Yanik continues to work on his leash walking, house manners, and to respect personal space. Yanik would do well in a home with an adopter who is committed to additional training so he can be the best dog he can be. This goofy dude’s adoption fee is $175 and includes his microchip, neuter, vaccinations, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org🐕

🐈Cat Friendly🐈 Play hard, love hard? Play hard, rest hard? Play hard, relax hard? We’re not really sure what Tyson wants his slogan to be, but this 10-month-old, 49 pound, tan American Staffordshire Terrier loves a burst of play time with a whole lot of cuddling! 🥰 You see, this pup will give you all the fun puppy moments without the full range of puppy work. He’s made progress in so many areas that he’s basically at the finish line and ready for you to offer a little patience, structure, and guidance to top off his foundational knowledge. Within no time, he’s going to master all his K9 skills. Tyson is a sweet and silly boy, just waiting for all the love a furever home can offer him! So far, Tyson has learned how to sit like a pro. He also snuggles like a pro, so very little effort on your part will be needed. He met a feline friend recently and did really well, so if you’re looking for a doggy sibling for your cat, Tyson says he’s your perfect match! He also gets along well with other dogs so he’s happy to join your pack! 🐾 Tyson is ok for bigger kiddos but if you have small ones—this love bug doesn’t quite understand his enthusiasm and size just yet. He is SO excited to meet everyone and greet them with love that he might accidentally knock the tiny ones over during his displays of affection. 🥸 Tyson loves squeaky tennis balls and just about any toy he can chase! He does perfect in a kennel and even happily sleeps there at night. He hasn’t had a lot of time to learn about leash walks and would love for you to continue showing him the ropes so he can stay active. And he’s almost completely mastered going outside for his bathroom breaks. 👏 If his amazing personality hasn’t fully convinced you that he’s the BEST BOY, then go ahead and scroll through his adorable photos. Look at that huge smile, floppy ears, and loving eyes. This boy is ready for a little bit of play time and a whole lot of love! 😍 Tyson’s adoption fee is $175 and includes his neuter, microchip, and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters. 🐕Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org 🐕

Story

Millie will be a great addition to someone's home but we just aren't the perfect fit. Millie has undergone extensive training (3-week overnight "bootcamp") and has made great strides, but we have not put in the effort to be consistent at home with what she's learned. We are rehoming because our home is a bit too chaotic for her to be successful and she does not get enough walks & exercise to suit her needs. Millie is good with dogs and loves to play but is definitely dominant which can be overwhelming at first to smaller dogs. She doesn't know how big she is! She's a bit of a counter thief an will steal anything that smells good that has been left unattended. She likes to snuggle and be affectionate and will be all over you to the extent you let her. Millie is high energy and will do great with an active person/family who will give her plenty of walks and opportunity to run and who will be consistent in reinforcing the commands she learned during her training.
