Story
Meet Mia – A Resilient, Playful, and Loving Companion! Mia is a 2-year-old, 30-pound sweetheart who’s come a long way since she was found on the streets of Kansas City, Kansas. With lots of love, patience, and professional training, she’s blossomed into a confident, affectionate pup who’s ready for her forever home. These days, Mia loves being a ride-along buddy—she enjoys running errands, exploring home improvement stores, and meeting new people (especially those with treats!). She’s gentle when taking snacks from both her foster and friendly strangers, and her social confidence continues to grow every day. Mia is leash-trained and has been working with professional trainers for the past six months to build her confidence and reduce her fear-based reactions. She’s made amazing progress and knows several commands, including sit, wait, with me, come, kennel, and is currently learning leave it. She’s crate-trained and happily settles in with a peanut butter Kong. At home, Mia is a great balance of playful and calm. She loves romping in the yard, playing chase or wrestling with her foster sister, and showing off her epic zoomies before curling up in a cozy spot for a nap. Because of her background, Mia can be protective of her resources around other dogs, but she’s making steady progress. She would thrive either as an only dog or with a larger, calm, and playful canine companion. She’s not a fit for homes with cats or young children. Mia can jump a short fence, so she’ll need a home with a tall, secure privacy fence or an adopter committed to leash-walking her for potty breaks. Mia has a big heart and is ready to share it with the right person or family. If you're looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate dog who’s already put in the work to become her best self—Mia might just be the one! If you are interested in meeting Mia, please fill out an application via our website at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TRP/Dog and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. Mia's adoption fee is $100 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, deworm, heartworm testing.

Goro

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, 6 yrs 10 mos
Shawnee, KS
Size
(when grown) -
Details
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.

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!

Meet Bonnie! Bonnie has beautiful blue eyes and a soft grey coat. She loves her siblings, her foster brothers, and her human foster family, especially kids. She does not like being alone and has the agility of an escape artist. Bonnie can climb a wire playpen like a squirrel and if there’s an opening in an enclosure, she is certainly smart enough to find it! Bonnie has learned to ring a bell at the door to be let out to potty, so accidents are decreasing. She will likely be a medium to large adult. Bonnie would do well with any person or family with the time and energy available to put her high intellect and athleticism to good use! She will need someone patient to help her through her separation anxiety, but she will be your constant companion through thick and thin, rain or shine! What more could you ask for?!

Story
Burner is seeking a family! This little guy (under 40lbs) was running free and decided he just didn't like being alone. He's still just a kid, after all, about 1.5 years old. His eyes may be different colors and his ears may be a lil goofy, but no one taught him how to match. He's since learned the good life, and doesn’t require much bed space as he prefers to be as close to his person as possible. If you're in a shared space or apartment, please be aware he loves to sing...loudly. He also enjoys a good tuggy toy with dog friends and chewing on bone bones. Recently, his friends have introduced him to the delicacy of peanut butter and he hasn't looked back. Got kids? Dogs? Awesome!! Burner loves playing with friends! He hasn't been around a cat, but chihuahuas are scary! If you are interested in meeting Burner, please fill out an application via our website at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TRP/Dog and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. Burner's adoption fee is $200 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, neuter, HW testing, and microchip.

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
