Story
Hi, my name is Kimmie. I’ll bet you can see in my picture that I’m a sweet girl at heart. I started out in a prison training program. It was great because I was learning all kinds of things to make me an even better friend. However, they discovered that I have seizures. Because of this, they could not keep me in the program. That’s how I ended up at M’Shoogys. However, this isn’t the best place for me either. What I really need is a good home with good people who understand I have special needs and don’t mind giving me medicine to control my seizures. When I’m confused I also tend to want to bite so I can’t go to a home with small children as they don’t know about giving me my space. If you have a big heart full of love and understanding and want to take care of a dog that really needs it; I’m the one for you! Those adopting Kimmie could get her medication at Angel’s Vet at our cost.

Story
So, you think you've heard everything? Well, let me tell you my story. At the age of 12 my owner decides he just doesn't want me around anymore. Since I already had a severe ear infection he decides not to treat it but to put me down. Lucky for me he takes me to one of only a few places that wouldn't do it - Angel's Vet. When they refused, he told them he was tired of me and he'd simply take me home and shoot me. It's hard to believe such cruelty exists. But, so does kindness. And on that day, kindness won. Now, I need a little more kindness so I can live out my twilight years in a loving home. You might not be able to tell but I'm a very sweet. Come to M'Shoogy's and let me show you! Due to her ear issues, Snoops will require a monthly shot of Cytopoint.

Hi, I'm Champ. I was running around loose on a golf course. It took quite a while to catch me but that's because I had no idea they were just trying to protect me. I thought this was about survival, and in the end it was. I get a bad rap just because of my breed, but, I'm a friendly guy who just wants to be YOUR friend!

Hi, I'm Walter. Life's not easy being a Pitbull mix. I know people just look over me because of my breed, but man we have the best smiles! I invite you to take a second look. I'm a happy, loving boy who is obedient. I will try to stay positive. For now, I'm safe and being taken care of but that's not living. Living is loving and being loved. Will you be the one who gives this good boy a second chance?

Story
Hi, I'm Ripley. Like most dogs at M'Shoogys, I was found running around loose in Platte City. No one ever came to claim me so now I'm one of the many dogs looking for a home. I'm a little camera shy so you can't really tell from my picture that I'm friendly, good with other dogs, and loving. If you're at all thinking about it, I invite you to meet me so you can get to know the real me. You'll find a sweet girl who just wants to be loved.

Hi, I'm Lou. I'm a sweet little guy. I'm shy at first but once I get to know you, I warm up. I do love to run so if you're a runner I'd make a great partner. If you have little ones, I can run around with them to burn some of their energy too. No matter your family situation; I'll fit right in!
