Story
Puffin has been with us for about 7 years. We originally got her from KCPP. She is very sweet and loves to be cuddled up on the couch with a blanket. She requires either land where she can roam freely or a fenced area she cannot escape. She knows sit, dance or twirl, and lay down for treats. She can have indestructible toys only. She will need a home where she is the only pet with no small children. Puffin loves being a lap dog laying between your legs while watching tv or reading a book. She is not high energy and likes a more relaxed environment. She does not have any anxiety and is basically really chill overall. She has never shown aggression towards humans and has only recently shown aggression towards our other dog and we have a small child at home that we need to provide a save environment for. Never has shown aggression while on a leash towards other animals. Does really well on walks and loves getting out of the house for walks. She is an amazing dog!

Story
Clyde has survived the unimaginable. During the artic temperatures he was on a chain with minimal shelter and no regular feedings. He survived...others did not. Clyde has some MAJOR food issues. He was deprived for so long with such sporadic feedings that it will take him quite awhile to realize he will not be hungry anymore. The investigative team with the Missouri Humane Society helped with this situation and they took several of the adult dogs. We had committed to 2. Clyde was one of the ones we were given. He was having a very difficult time gaining weight at the humane society. This isn't uncommon...a dog that doesn't handle being caged well will sometimes spin/react poorly and be unable to hold their weight and gaining weight would be really difficult. We are also a facility based rescue...so we are unsure if he'll gain weight or not, but we will try...and try to find him a home/foster home too! Clyde is heartworm positive and that treatment will start as soon as he settles into our routine here. We've only had him a few days so far. Follow us on Facebook to keep updated on him! Search for Autumn Acres Animal Rescue. At Autumn Acres Animal Rescue we believe each individual animal matters. We take in special cases some of which will stay with us as a sanctuary dog.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect Dog this means they have special needs and special requirements for potential adopters.If the animal is listed as a Socially Imperfect RESIDENT this animal is NOT available for adoption and is one of our sanctuary residents. We list them on our sites because they still matter and they still need donations to help with their long term care.Check out our website for more information: http://www.autumnacres.org

Willow

American Pit Bull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 8 mos
Kansas City, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Willow is a young adult female. She’s had a rocky start on life. As a puppy she severely abused and dumped at the local shelter. An elderly couple adopted her and absolutely adored her. When they eventually had to move in with family, the family would not allow the dog to come so she ended up in need of a home. Again. She’s an amazing girl who loves car rides, enjoys laying at your feet or snuggling. Will chase a ball and get the zoomies but also curls up on the couch to snooze! She loves chew bones and stuffed kongs! Food is the way to her heart. She biggest downfall is that she takes a bit to warm up to new people. But once she is comfortable she’s your best buddy! She will always be somewhat leery of strangers. She would make an excellent truckers companion! She is crate trained and house broken. She does get along with some other dogs but not all. She’s never been around cats.

RANGER

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs
North Kansas City, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ranger is all heart, energy, and personality! He gets along well with other dogs and would likely do best in a home with a canine companion to play with and bond to. He loves being part of the action and thrives when he has both attention and activity. Ranger would do best with an active family who can give him exercise, structure, and engagement. If he gets bored or lonely, he’s known to make his own fun — so he’s looking for a home ready to keep both his body and brain busy. If you currently have another dog, we can arrange a meet and greet prior to adoption to make sure they are compatible. Ranger is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, house trained and crate trained. If you are interested in meeting Ranger, please text (816) 878-2001 OR email desiraemhopson@gmail.com

Story
Meet Sukka Sukka’s past may be a mystery, but one thing is clear—she loves to relax and decompress on the couch with her people. She has a calm, easygoing vibe. Sukka shows a lot of interest in cats, so a home without cats would be best. She hasn’t had a full dog test yet, but she shows positive body language through kennel interactions. Because of this, a meet and greet with other dogs will be required to make sure it’s a good match. Update: Sukka does good with dogs her size however small dogs and cats are a no go.
