Story
Big Mac is a 3 year old 75lb fully deaf am staff/pitbull mix. He graduated from a 13 week private training program at Precision Dog Training Academy and is house trained, kennel trained and knows basic obedience including sit, down, platform, stay, free and heel and is a quick learner if food is involved. He loves to sleep but also has an energetic side that can be worn off with zoomies, long walks outdoors, treadmill walks and other dog playtime. He is people and dog friendly but would need a dog companion that can properly correct him and teach him how to play as he loves to but doesn't quite know how. He is a cuddler and likens himself to a lap dog and splits his time sleeping on the floor, dog beds, sofas, human beds, his kennel and his humans. He would thrive in a home where someone has time to spend with him, can continue his training and has a fenced yard for zoomies. He is being rehomed due to no fault of his own. His dog sibling has not been able to neutralize his feelings

Kansas City, MO
Size

Story
Meet Seven, the goodest girl. She is being rehomed due to an unforseen medical issue in the family, and not because of anything she did. Seven is a people pupper who just wants to spend time with her family and maybe go on a short walk or play some games before cuddling up for a nap. She loves children, but is scared of other dogs and would need to be introduced carefully if her family has more animals. Playful and sweet, Seven is easily trained with praise and treats, and already knows several basic commands. If you want a snuggle-pup who is a little bigger than pocket-sized, she is the gal for you!

Story
Hi there! I’m Eleven! I got my name from the Stranger Things show, I got this name because I’m pretty super, and I have beaten all the odds to be here today, and no matter what challenges I’ve faced, I just keep getting STRONGER!   I came into MABBR with all my siblings from a rural animal control shelter, we were saved from a pretty neglectful situation. I was the smallest of all my siblings, and I was born with a pretty serious heart defect, that meant that if I didn’t get surgery, I might not make it.   Luckily I landed in a foster home, that would help me get strong enough for surgery! In my foster home, I live with 6 other dogs, 3 cats, and 2 young kids! My very best friend is my human foster sister, she’s 2 years old and she and I just get each other! We have so much fun playing, cuddling, and exploring the world together! I also love my foster brother Nuke, he’s a Shepherd mix and he taught me how to wrestle like a pro! So I’d really love a home with a big dog to play with, because I may be small, but I AM MIGHTY!   I’m very smart and super athletic! I’d love an active home! I currently play at doggy daycare while my foster mom works, so I’m not very used to being home alone a lot, I’m kennel trained and doing super well on potty training. But I’d prefer a home where my person is home most of the time, or would be willing to take me to doggy daycare a few times a week.   I’m recovered from my surgery now, everything went great, you would never even know I was sick! My doctor said I will have a normal, happy and healthy life! So now I’m ready to find a forever home and a family of my very own. Do you think that could be you?April 18, 2024, 12:50 pm
