Story
Roux is an 85-pound gentle soul with a heart as big as his smile. At around 8–9 years old, this handsome mixed-breed boy is firmly in his “retirement era” — and he wears it beautifully. Roux has shown nothing but quiet resilience and kindness. He’s currently thriving in a foster home of his own, where he enjoys peaceful days, leisurely walks with his foster dad, and long, well-earned naps afterward. Despite his size, Roux has a soft spot for the little ones — he absolutely loves small dogs and even tiny puppies. He also has “grandkids” who visit a couple times a week, and he does wonderfully with them. Roux is trusted to roam freely in his foster home and is never kenneled. Medically, Roux has a medium heart murmur that does not require medication at this time — just routine monitoring at his annual veterinary visits. Roux is searching for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy cozy days, gentle walks, and all the affection he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments and unconditional love, Roux may be your perfect match. This pet is up for adoption through one of our trusted rescue partners, Rescue K-911. He or she is currently in one of their fabulous foster homes. If you would like more information on this pet please reach out to Rescue K-911 directly: (913) 543-1364 rescuek911ks@gmail.com http://k911foundation.com

Story
I do not want him put down bc of his breed and noone adopting him so prefer not to drop him in a shelter. I am in desperate need of rehoming my dog Brutus! I was in a bad accident 3 years ago and am not able to care for him the way he deserves. I have difficulty walking and standing and can not get up and down the stairs. My sons who help take care of him have enlisted in the military one who is already a marine and the other will be leaving for bootcamp for the army in march so I need him rehomed before my son leaves. Please help he is a very loving American staffordshire terrior full of energy. He is aggressive towards male dogs,but lives with a cat and a female dog. It took time for them to get along because she is the alpha. I believe he would do great with a large yard. He is behind on his shots expired september has a chip and is nuetered.He is about 7 years old. I rescued him from the streets 6 years ago. I will give all his belongings ex food bowls vest toys.He jumps up for hug
