If regular espresso shots don't have you bouncing off the walls, our Espresso Shot will! She has a hard time keeping all 4 paws on the ground so she might be a little much for small children at first, but with consistent training she'll be great! Aussies are typically a very energetic breed and do best when they have a job, so if you have a farm or are looking for a workout buddy, Espresso Shot just might be your girl!

Story
Audie is a sweet pup, only 3 years old! Her previous owners surrendered her to the shelter due to changes in the home that no longer made their home suitable for Audie. Audie is so sweet and loving with humans of all kinds, but she can be weary of young dogs that want to be in her face and mess with her things. She does well with older dogs that allow her the personal space she needs. She has experience with children in the home and has done great! She has never had any issues with kiddos! However, a home without children would likely be a better fit for Audie so that she can relax and feel completely carefree in her new home. Meet Audie today by appointment only.

Copper

Border Collie

Male, Adult
Columbia, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)   Copper is a 5 year old, high energy 48 pound purebred border collie who recently lost the loving home he had since puppyhood. This gorgeous blue merle boy came into rescue and hasn’t looked back. His sweet sister, Charlie, is in a separate Mo-Kan foster home. Copper loves people of all ages, especially children. He is not good with cats. Copper was used to being an outdoor dog and is learning that there are different rules indoors. He is very puppylike: perpetually happy, curious, and runs everywhere instead of walking. Copper responds best to gentle touch and calmly delivered commands. He is a blank slate, and eager to please! He is crate trained and runs in preemptively to get a treat, which he takes treats very gently. “Copper, come!” appears to be his favorite command. He thinks he is a lap dog and is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up for it. Copper walks moderately well on a leash and is learning to stay to one side of his person. He enjoys outings to our local dog park for the people who pet him as much as the dogs he runs with. He is very skilled at reading and reacting appropriately to new dog friends and takes their feedback well. Copper would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Having been an outdoor dog after his first year of life, he is re-learning potty training. He is crated during the workday with a mid-day dogsitter break while his foster is at work and keeps his kennel clean. He loves being outside, running in a yard and wrestling with his 55 pound housemate, so a fenced yard and a dog companion are preferred. Copper is not good with cats and is hyper focused on chickens. A home without cats or caged small pets is a must. If he sounds like a great addition to your family, complete an adoption application on the Mo-Kan website. Copper is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 30, 2025, 4:01 pm

My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to be with my person. Second only to that is playing with my foster brother, Anderson (Andy for short). He had a tough start in life, and I’ve gotten to help him learn how to be a puppy. As for toys, nothing’s better than a stick off a backyard tree. I also have a few toys that my former family gave me and with which I still love to play – my squeaky, stuffed Gameboy is the best. I get along great with other dogs. The neighbor dog has stayed with us a few times when his family has gone on trips. We get along really well! My foster mom is an 11-year-old border collie, who is also a MoKan rescue and who was great at helping me learn my way around my foster home, especially around dinner time. We thought I might have some food aggression issues, but my human has put each of our bowls in separate spots at mealtimes, and we’ve had no issues. So far, I’ve gotten along with all the humans I’ve met. I haven’t had any interaction with young kids. I understand basic commands like come, sit, give, and I am sure I can learn a lot more. Regarding my forever home, I would love a place where I can hop up on the couch and bed and snuggle with my human. I am a terrific cuddler. I’m sure I would be happy in a home where I’m the only dog. I’d be equally happy if I have a brother or sister dog. I’ve got lots of energy. Hey, I’m a border collie, but I’ve not expressed that energy in any negative way. In chewing on things, I keep to my toys…not furniture or clothing. Going on walks or to the park will be wonderful. Rest time is great, too. Sasuke is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Click here to watch a video of Sasuke.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 16, 2025, 10:14 am

Thats me! I’m a border mix pup that was found as a stray in El Dorado. MoKan sprang me out of the shelter, and I have been enjoying all the comforts of my foster home ever since! I like playing in the yard with my foster sister, learning fetch, and napping on the couch in the evenings after I get all my zoomies out. I am affectionate, and I want to lick your face and crawl all over you if you let me. My foster mom likes to snuggle on the couch with me while I bring her all my toys to chew on. I am still learning that I can chew on  toys but not people, so it will be a little while before I am ready to be around small children. My nickname right now is ‘Piranha Pup’! I know how to sit on command and walk well on a leash, but I still have a lot to learn — my foster mom keeps trying to tell me not to jump on people or pee on the fuzzy rug, but I don’t quite understand her yet. I sleep in my kennel from 10pm to 5am without barking or making a mess, but when I am ready to come out you will definitely hear about it! My foster family says I am a “morning person”, whatever that means. I’d love a doggie friend in my new home but I’d do fine as a solo dog as well. I live with cats right now and I like them just fine, but they aren’t much fun to play with. I have learned to be polite and give them their space, and my cat friend lets me get close enough to sniff him sometimes. We can hang out on the couch together sometimes, but I am not supposed to chase him, and that’s hard to remember when it is so fun! I am treat motivated, and very bright. I would make an excellent companion for an active person who can dedicate lots of time to exercise and training. If you think I am the right dog for you, fill out an application on the Mo-Kan website! Nettie is being fostered in the North Newton, KS area.Click here to watch a video of Nettie.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2025, 10:43 pm
