Story
Didi you know that senior pups have so much more wisdom and experience than their puppy counterparts? Its just like you humans! We let things go more easily&#44 we stop and smell the roses more often. We have more house manners&#44 and we know how to love you completely. Oh&#44 and we certainly take longer naps! Im Aries&#44 a lovable and friendly boy who just needs another chance. I was adopted out from Great Plains years ago&#44 but I was returned recently because my family could no longer care for me. <br/><br/>Ive come to terms with being back at this shelter as a homeless dog once again. Life doesnt always go as planned&#44 but I have had a very good life and my future looks very bright. I have found fun in playing with other dogs here at the shelter. I have a best buddy&#44 and we run and play and romp through the yards enjoying the freedom that a playgroup can bring. I always want to be the fastest. I love having all the other pups try to keep up with me. I know just a few commands&#44 but it is never too late in life to learn something new. Please show me&#44 and Ill make you proud!<br/><br/>I appreciate all that life has offered me thus far. I see a beautiful next chapter in my forever home where I can be free to be me! I hope you will come to the shelter and ask to meet me. I want to make someone happy again.<br/><br/>Love from Aries

After spending 213 days growing up in a shelter, JoJo is finally getting his shot at foster life—and he is absolutely thriving. This 1 year old, 40 lb American Pitbull Terrier mix is as well-rounded as they come: 🐾 Dog-friendly & cat-friendly ♥️ Great with people 💫 Brilliant, eager, and trick-savvy — he knows tons already and wants to learn more every day.

Meet Diamond, a beautiful 4-year-old pittie mix with a sleek black coat and charming white accents. Just like her name, she’s truly a gem—smart, curious, and full of heart. Diamond has a wonderful mix of playful energy and mellow calm. One minute she’s zooming around with goofy joy, and the next she’s snuggling up for some quiet affection. Diamond is independent but cuddly, sweet but shy, and always full of personality. She’s a fast learner and loves to explore, making her a fun and rewarding companion. Due to her background, Diamond is still learning to trust, so she’ll need a patient home without cats or kids and very slow introductions to other dogs. If you're looking for a loyal friend with a bright spirit and a soft heart, Diamond is ready to shine in a home that understands her needs and will give her the love she deserves. Diamond is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption.

Story
Meet Gunner—a handsome American Pit Bull Terrier with a sleek grey and white coat and a heart full of love. Gunner may have started life as a stray, but now he’s ready for the cozy life with a forever family who will adore him as much as he adores them. He’s a true companion dog who wants to be by your side, whether that’s cruising in the car, lounging on the couch, or just hanging out in the backyard. Gunner is smart, loyal, and eager to please. He’s fully potty trained, kennel trained, and knows commands like *sit, *stay, *come, and is working on *down. He’s easygoing on a leash—except when another dog is around (he’s still practicing his social manners)—but he’s overall a great walking buddy. He enjoys playtime with chew toys, cozy naps, and giving affectionate kisses to his favorite people. Gunner is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can be the center of your world. He’d do best as your only pet—no cats or other dogs, please. If you’re searching for a silly, snuggly, and deeply devoted best friend, Gunner just might be your perfect match.

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, 6 yrs 10 mos
Shawnee, KS

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Goro is a 7-year-old Boxer/Pit mix who came to us after his owner of a short time was forced to move. Before that, Goro lost his previous owner due to housing instability. None of this was his fault—yet he’s had to say goodbye to the people he loved most. While we don’t know every detail of his past, it’s clear Goro has lived in a home before and knows exactly how to be a wonderful companion. ♥️ What Goro is like: • Loves his walks and short runs, but is happiest once it’s time to relax with his people • A true cuddle bug who wants to be close — lap sitting, blanket burrowing, and nap time are his specialties • Calm, easygoing, and very content just being near his people 🏡 House Manners: • Fully house trained • Kennel trained • Quiet and well-mannered (rarely vocal unless startled by fireworks or barking dogs) • No accidents, no destruction, no trouble • Loves to play with toys and bones and happily shares them with his humans! With people: • Great with kids and adults • Friendly with everyone he meets • May bark briefly when someone enters the room, but his wagging tail quickly gives him away — he’s just asking for pets Ideal home: • Would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet • An adopter who values play time followed by cozy relaxation Goro is a sweet, relaxed, affectionate dog who is incredibly easy to care for. If you’re looking for a loyal couch buddy, a calm companion, and a dog who just wants to be close to you, Goro could be the perfect fit. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
💗 Meet Sugar Ray — The Snuggly, Tennis-Ball-Loving Sweetheart! Sugar Ray is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart every bit as big as her smile. Originally an outreach case who needed rescue, she is now thriving in foster care and showing just how loving, goofy, and gentle she can be. This big, beautiful girl is all about affection and connection. She loves to cuddle, nap beside you, and soak up every bit of love she can get. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who also enjoys bursts of play, Sugar Ray just might be your perfect match! 🌟 Sugar Ray’s Best Qualities • A+ snuggler — her favorite place is right next to her people • Total nap queen — calm, quiet, and relaxed in the home • Toy lover — especially obsessed with tennis balls! • Crate trained — settles in calmly when you’re away • Good with dogs & cats — per previous owner; foster is still doing slow intros • Great with children — gentle, though her size may be a bit much for toddlers • Well-behaved when left alone At about 85 lbs, Sugar Ray is a solid, strong girl with a soft, mushy heart. Her size means she may unintentionally knock down very small children, but she is a kind and gentle soul who truly loves people. 💕 Personality Snapshot Sugar Ray can get a little excited when new guests arrive, but she settles quickly and just wants to be included. She does wonderfully with routine, clear expectations, and a cozy place to rest. She also experiences some anxiety, but with reassurance and a predictable environment, she thrives. 🏡 Sugar Ray Would Love a Home With: ✔ Someone who enjoys snuggles and quiet companionship ✔ A family or adopter who can handle a strong, 85-lb sweetheart ✔ Slow, thoughtful introductions to resident pets ✔ Plenty of tennis balls! Sugar Ray is the perfect mix of sweetness and silliness — a loyal companion who just wants to adore her humans and be adored right back. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion with so much affection to give, Sugar Ray is ready to brighten your home and heart. She's also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption.

Story
Nobody knows how to wear a hat quite like I do&#44 dont you think? Hi there&#44 Im Ava! A sweet and silly girl that cant wait for her forever family. Thankfully&#44 all the kind people at the shelter have given me so much to be happy about. Ive learned what it means to be house trained&#44 how to share my toys&#44 and Ive experienced what it means to be loved&#44 really and truly loved by a human. <br/><br/>I want so much to trust every human I meet right away. But I need a little time to get to know someone and really develop a sense of connection and love for that human. The shelter experience lends itself to a lot of unfamiliar people needing to interact with me often&#44 and I get nervous and scared around all that attention. I prefer slower introductions&#44 getting to know the person&#44 and finding that I can trust that no one wants to hurt me. Once there is patience and understanding between us&#44 Im a little doll. Ive got quite the personality&#44 and I want so much to be a part of a family and feel included in activities.<br/><br/>I am also kennel trained&#44 and I like to sleep in my quiet little spot. Ive been soaking up the love in a foster home recently. When Im not snuggled up with Foster Dad&#44 I enjoy playing with my toys and snoozing the day way. I absolutely adore squeaky toys&#44 and Im a big fan of car rides&#44 too. Starbucks Pup Cup anyone?<br/><br/>Before I fully commit to a family&#44 Id really love to meet everyone to ensure we all have that special connection. Since Im still learning that new people are indeed trustworthy&#44 I would appreciate older kids who know how to be gentle with me. Love is a two-way street&#44 you know. I cant wait to shower my new family with endless love&#44 loyalty&#44 and lots of joy. Together&#44 well make beautiful memories&#44 and I promise to be the best companion anyone could ask for.<br/><br/>Love from Ava
