Story

Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Destiny! But my foster mom calls me Dessy or Dessy Bear (I love her names for me).andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m looking for a home of my own for Christmas. Iandamp;#39;ve been a very good girl this year (Iandamp;#39;m at the top of Santaandamp;#39;s Nice List)&#44 so let me tell you why you need me under your tree right now.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was scared when I first came to the shelter&#44 and the noise and confusion made me very unhappy. As soon as I found a foster home&#44 though&#44 I relaxed&#44 and now my mom says Iandamp;#39;m the perfect dog. I like things to be calm&#44 because Iandamp;#39;m calm&#44 too.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I like to snuggle&#44 take rides in the car&#44 and play with my favorite big blue ball. I really like stuffies&#44 but sometimes I like them too much&#44 so Iandamp;#39;m better off with chew toys...or my favorite big blue ball.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m housebroken&#44 and I always stand by the door to tell my mom that itandamp;#39;s time to let me outside. I love my fenced backyard&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m not crazy about going for walks. Something about them scares me&#44 and although Iandamp;#39;m getting braver&#44 my favorite part is when we turn around and go home.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My mom says Iandamp;#39;m super smart&#44 and even though sheandamp;#39;s partial&#44 I will admit that I learn things really fast. I know how to sit and lie down and come when Iandamp;#39;m called&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is andamp;quot;wait.andamp;quot; I know to wait while my mom walks in or out of a door and to wait before I get in or out of the car&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is waiting until Iandamp;#39;m invited up on her bed or her chair. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Even if she puts a treat on the floor and tells me to andamp;quot;wait&#44andamp;quot; I will&#44 although sometimes I drool just a little. As great as I am about waiting&#44 though&#44 Iandamp;#39;m ready to stop waiting to find my forever home. Please come meet me soon. I think we could be each otherandamp;#39;s very best present this Christmas.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;With all my love&#44andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Destiny (aka Dessy andamp; Dessy Bear)

Wanna know my favorite thing in the whole wide world? Itandamp;#39;s a WARM BATH! Yep&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Lenny&#44 and when they put me in the bathtub here at the shelter&#44 my whole body melts into a big ole pile of mush. I rest my head in a volunteerandamp;#39;s hand&#44 my eyes closed as I dream of a soft couch and a bonbon or two&#44 and I love just letting the water wash over me. Maybe Iandamp;#39;m into swimming pools&#44 too? Youandamp;#39;ll never know the answer to that question until you adopt me and get me a pool.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ve got a sparkling personality&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a high energy&#44 confident and food motivated boy. Iandamp;#39;m friendly&#44 happy-go-lucky&#44 and I love everyone I meet. Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with my energy level. And since Iandamp;#39;m a family-oriented guy&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll need to meet all the kids in the home to make sure everyoneandamp;#39;s a perfect match.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Besides a bath&#44 my favorite things include chasing after toys&#44 going for walks (and I recently won an award at the shelter for andamp;quot;best all round walkerandamp;quot;) and of course basking in the love and attention of my favorite humans. Iandamp;#39;m the kind of guy who will always greet you with a wagging tail and a smile that will light up your world.

Iandamp;#39;ve kissed a pig&#44 and I liked it! LOL&#44 I really have! Iandamp;#39;m Eeyore&#44 and Iandamp;#39;ve been living in a foster home with a really nice lady&#44 two dogs&#44 and a pig&#44 and we all get along quite well. Iandamp;#39;m house trained and kennel trained&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m just a dear young boy who wants ever so much to have a family and home of his own.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Before getting to Great Plains&#44 I was out on the run for awhile. It was a scary and difficult time for me&#44 but I made it through. KC Dog Trappers is an amazing group of dog rescuers&#44 and they rescued me! Thankfully now&#44 Iandamp;#39;ve made a lot of new friends that help me be less timid and feel more brave. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m dog friendly&#44 super sweet&#44 and ready for a forever home. I would love a family who understands that Iandamp;#39;ve spent a lot of my life all by my lonesome. But Iandamp;#39;m learning about the good things in life. While I am timid&#44 Iandamp;#39;m also learning to open up and trust. Iandamp;#39;m friendly&#44 soft and warm&#44 mellow and relaxed. I adore squeaky toys&#44 and I love soft treats and cheese! I believe I was born to be a couch potato&#44 and I was born to be your best friend. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Donandamp;#39;t you think you wanna meet me? Call the shelter and set up a meet and greet. Iandamp;#39;d love to get to know you. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Eeyore

Story

They named me Echo. Funny name for a deaf dog, right? Being hearing impaired doesn't stop me from being a happy, outgoing girl. I understand hand signals for sit, stay, down and come but could really benefit from someone who can teach me more ways to help them communicate with me. I catch on pretty quick and always look to my person for guidance. I absolutely love people and get the wiggles when it's time for a walk. Despite my challenge, I'm a good girl who always keeps her kennel clean. I'm fond of a good belly crawl in the grass and long walks. I love people so much that I want to keep them for myself. No furry brothers or sisters for me, please. I will settle for nothing less than being the queen of my castle.October 14, 2024, 4:43 pm

Story

BEAUTIFUL NOVA! Nova is literally 1.5 years old. Very sweet, loves all people. She is sensitive and reactive to dogs on walks but has been working on manners and does well with muzzle training. Nova does great in a kennel and loves car rides. She needs someone who will set her up for success and help her continue her current training. Nova has done well with puppies while being on leash but needs to be an only dog to be the most successful. Nova was adopted from MABBR as a puppy and returned 1 year later. Nova is on a mission to find her true forever home. She wants to be loved so badly and deserves nothing less! Come and meet Nova, you won’t regret it! We just know in our hearts that if a foster home or forever home would take this beautiful girl into their homes, she would learn fast and easy. Right now she is in a boarding facility so effectively training her is hard due to the stressful environment she is in. She wants to please her humans and she is very smart.October 14, 2024, 4:43 pm

Story

Arnold came from a terrible situation. He is about 4 years old, born to a backyard breeder and lived with his human since he was a puppy. His owner sadly took his own life and Arnold found himself back with the breeder where he was left outside to fend for himself. A good Samaritan stepped in and was able to remove Arnold from the situation he was in. His foster mom says he’s the best house guest ever. He’s quiet and easy going, eager to meet new people and does great with the kiddos. We don’t know what happened while he was back with the breeder but Arnold is reactive to other dogs so it’s best if he goes to a home where he will be the only dog. Cats are a possibility with slow and careful introductions.October 29, 2024, 5:05 pm

Dear Potential Family&#44andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt; My name is Teddy&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a sweet&#44 handsome gentleman who is in his retirement years now and would like to find a home that wants to make me king of the castle&#44 and a bedfellow too - should you need one. I was recently surrendered to the shelter&#44 and while itandamp;#39;s nice here with new friends and everything&#44 I would love to get into a place to call my own. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am seven years young&#44 and I love to play! Iandamp;#39;m also really smart and know how to ‘sitandamp;#39; and ‘comeandamp;#39; on command!

My name is Louise and I am ready to show the world what Iandamp;#39;m made of. When I first came to the shelter&#44 I showed up with my sister Tina. We were joined at the hip and I was the more shy one of the bunch. What she did&#44 I did&#44 we were like to toddlers in a pea pod. Now that I am at the prison at their Pups For Parole training program&#44 I have become brave&#44 confident and just a good girl. I would love to go to a home that already has a dog living in it. I can be energetic and tend to do well with another dog friend by my side. I walk well on leash&#44 I love love and I am very smart and eager to continue learning new skills that will turn me into a great family dog.
