Story
Meet Carlsbad — Your Spirited, Snuggly Sidekick! 🐾 Carlsbad is a young Red Heeler/Pit Bull mix bursting with adorable puppy energy and big charm. He’s curious, playful, cuddly, and always ready to be part of whatever his people are doing. This friendly guy gets along great with dogs, cats, and children. In classic heeler fashion, he may try to herd his friends, but he’s learning quickly and his puppy manners are coming along beautifully. He’s outgrown his mouthy puppy phase and is turning into a polite, eager-to-please companion. Carlsbad already has some impressive “big dog” skills, too — he has free roam of his foster home and reliably uses the doggie door. He absolutely loves having the freedom to pop outside for a sniff, adventure, or zoomie session, so a fenced yard would make him very happy. When he’s not exploring, Carlsbad is a total cuddler who enjoys curling up with his humans and soaking up affection. He’d thrive with a family who enjoys an active, smart, affectionate pup and is ready to keep up with his fun-loving heeler spirit. If you’re looking for a playful adventure buddy who also gives A+ snuggles, Carlsbad is your guy. 💛 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Ever get stressed or anxious when you are inside? But once you get outside&#44 you feel free as a bird and relax and can calm your inner nerves? Well&#44 thats me! Hi&#44 Im handsome and sweet-natured Archie&#44 and I was simply not made for shelter life. Nope&#44 sitting inside a kennel when all I really want is to be out and about with YOU is very frustrating! They call it transition stress. Once Im outside of the shelter&#44 my fears and anxiety simply melt away. Walks make me one of the happiest boys on the planet!<br/><br/>Im young&#44 energetic&#44 friendly&#44 and a confident boy. I met up with another dog in a one-on-one playgroup&#44 and we did great together. I might go in a little too enthusiastic at my first meeting sometimes; but&#44 I was told to chill out by the other pup&#44 and I did exactly that! Im smart&#44 too&#44 see? Im a big tail wagger&#44 and Im a lover of toys and tug. <br/><br/>The shelter thinks Id do best in a home with kids 8 and up. Ive got so much love to give to a family. I just want my chance again&#44 and I wont be able to contain my excitement when you say&#44 Archie&#44 youre coming home!. I cant wait!!<br/><br/>Love from Archie<br/><br/>Featuring photos by Caley Clark Photography

Story
Meet Ziggy! This boy is a super speedy ball of energy and FUN! You absolutely can never get bored with him around. It's difficult to tell in a photo, but he is a super fun sized guy weighing in at only 38 lbs.! He's the perfect fit if you're looking for someone who can kick it with the big dogs, and has a big personality, but in a compact size! Ziggy is about 5 years old, he loves to play with his friends and definitely keeps us all laughing with his goofy, zoomie personality. Ziggy craves social interaction, from humans and other dogs. His previous owner left him alone on a tie out often, which caused him to have some separation anxiety. Having other dogs to play with has definitely helped him in this area, but he will still need a home where he will not be alone long hours of the day everyday. He would also do best in a home with a canine companion to play with. Ziggy will need an active family, he is a fun loving, high energy dog. He would not be an appropriate fit for someone who does not have the time to give him a lot of daily exercise and activity. Ziggy loves kids, but he is pretty hyper and needs to work on manners, so he may be to much for small toddlers and babies. However, older kids would be okay. Ziggy needs at least a 6 foot fence for any home with a yard, he can jump a four foot fence. Ziggy would be best in a home without cats or really tiny dogs as he wants to chase and play and is just a little to much for them. He is crate trained and should transition into housetraining quickly. If you have another dog, we will want to introduce them to ensure that they get along well.

These pups are in Shawnee, Kansas too!

Story
🐾 Ozzie — The Playful, Toy-Loving Entertainer Ozzie is a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a big personality, a big heart, and a fluffy tail that never stops wagging. He loves people, enjoys attention, and will gladly be your playful shadow. Ozzie knows basic commands, wrestles happily with friendly dogs, and is an expert at fetch—especially catching toys out of the air. He can be protective of his high-value items (toys, treats, food), so a home familiar with resource guarding would be best. He’s kennel trained, very well-behaved when left alone, and thrives on play and connection. Ozzie and his brother Bowie grew up together, play beautifully together, and truly enjoy each other’s company. They would love to be adopted together, but it isn’t required—they can also succeed independently in homes suited to their needs. Ozzie’s Ideal Home: ✔ Adults or families who understand resource guarding ✔ A playful home ready for fetch, fun, and training ✔ A friendly dog companion—preferably not toy-possessive ✔ Could be adopted with his brother Bowie or independently If you want a fun, affectionate dog who will keep you smiling, Ozzie just might be your perfect match. 🖤🐾 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
🐾 Bowie — The Happy, Velcro Aussie Mix Bowie is a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart full of sunshine. This sweet, tail-wagging boy loves nothing more than being close to his humans. If you want a loyal shadow who radiates joy, Bowie is your guy. Friendly and eager to please, Bowie already knows basic commands like sit and down. He’s mostly quiet, though he may join in if another dog is barking. He’s learning not to jump up for affection but redirects quickly—he really just wants to make you happy. Bowie is kennel trained, well-behaved when left alone, and loves being in the company of people. Bowie and his brother Ozzie have lived their entire lives together and play wonderfully as a pair. They would love to be adopted together, though it’s not required—they can also thrive separately in the right homes. Bowie’s Ideal Home: ✔ A family who enjoys lots of companionship ✔ Someone eager to continue light manners training ✔ A home that appreciates a loving, people-oriented dog ✔ Could be adopted with his brother Ozzie or on his own If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle boy ready to follow you anywhere, Bowie is ready for his new beginning. 💛 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet PeBo – A Gentle Senior Aussie Mix 💙 PeBo is a sweet 10-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a big heart and a lifetime of love to give. Recently surrendered through no fault of his own, this senior boy is hoping to find a warm foster or forever home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by comfort and care. PeBo is housetrained, well-mannered, and enjoys the company of people. He would do best in a home with adults only and a calm environment. When treated with courtesy and patience, PeBo is affectionate, easygoing, and happy to be by your side. He loves exploring a yard, enjoys outdoor time, and walks nicely on leash with a little guidance. He has always done well with other dogs, especially with polite introductions, and he has proven how amicably he can coexist with kitties, too! PeBo doesn’t need a crate and does well when left alone. He’s calm, loyal, and thrives in a peaceful home where he can be part of daily life without too much fuss. Seniors like him deserve comfort, love, and family — and he’ll give it back tenfold. If you can offer a gentle, respectful home where PeBo’s needs as an older dog are honored, he’ll reward you with endless devotion. Could you be the one to give PeBo his second chance? P.S. PeBo is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know him in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
