Story

Calliope was rescued from the middle of nowhere in central Missouri off the streets. She was the sweetest and most loving dog as soon as we met her. She fell in love with our shepherd and we fell in love with her. Over the last 4 years Calliope has learned how to be loved and cuddle with everyone she meets. Calliope doesn't know a stranger. Every single person she meets needs to cuddle her and love her. Her people are her life and will forever be. Calliope loves to go on walks, but is even happier to lay on the couch all day every day. She thinks she's a puppy when in fact she's a large adult. 🥰 Unfortunately, Calliope has had a few incidents with our fosters and most recently with our bulldog. Due to this, Calliope needs to be the only dog in the home. She will be the best friend you will ever have if you just give her a chance.

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

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

My daughter recieved this dog from her ex boyfriend when she was 6 months pregnant. We have been desperate to find someone who loves animals and has time and patience to train. He needs to go to a home with no kids or small dogs. Not sure how he would do with bigger dogs. My daughter already had two chihuahuas. We tried a long time ago to reach out to bully rescues and had no luck. They only wanted to give training tips. She is a single mom with a 2 year old now.

Story

Meet Gabby, a one-year-old rescue puppy full of life and love. She has brought laughter into our home, waking up our older dogs and filling each day with adventure. Her stubborn streak is matched only by her affection. She needs a STRONG-WILLED patient owner who can handle her energy and return her love tenfold. She is female, hear her roar! She's a digger, a chewer, and a fence-climbing explorer who needs a tall wooden fence, plenty of toys, two (2) baby pools for summer, and a warm bed inside. She loves to play catch and will bring the ball right up to you before sprinting off with it. What is yours is Gabby’s, and she won’t give it up unless you dive-tackle her. Gabby is a natural hunter; those mice don’t stand a chance on her watch! Despite her stubbornness and bark, Gabby is wary of new people in her space. Gabby is territorial and knows where her home is once she jumps the fence. Rotten dog, lol
