Story
It's with a heavy heart that we are seeking to rehome our Australian Shepherd, kazuto. Unfortunately, due to an incident where he bit our baby, we have to make the difficult decision to find him a new family that can provide the right environment and attention he needs. Kazuto is an incredibly loving dog with lots of energy and a big heart. He’s four years old, enjoys cuddles, and is a very anxious boy. He’s up-to-date on vaccinations, house-trained, has lived with a cat since he was a puppy, and knows basic commands. We believe that in the right home, with proper attention, he will thrive. We are looking for someone with a child free home who can offer a loving, safe space where he can continue to be a happy, well-loved dog. If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please message me for more details.

Story
Hiro, is an 8 year old male australian shepherd. I rescued him 3 years ago in the mountains of Utah. Tracked down his owner and decided to keep him. He loves to play fetch non stop. He thinks he is a lap dog when being petted. He is good with kids. They like to carry the ball or toy around and have Hiro follow them. We are only rehoming him because he has become to dominate over our Black Lab. He will make a good one dog family or if you able to train him with other dogs.

Story
Approx. DOB: 3/24/24                Approx. Weight: 45 Lb Adoption Fee: $250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness!      Winnie is so gorgeous with her orangeish color fur. It's so thick and in great shape. Winnie is young and full of life. She loves to chase the other dogs in the group to play tag or just to see who the fastest runner is. We haven't witnessed any dominance or aggressiveness towards any of the other dogs. She can sometimes think she is a smaller dog but doesn't realize she is playing a bit too rough. It's on accident and it happens when she thinks patting them on the back is OK but she accidently rolls them over. The dogs haven't been hurt because it's a gentle roll over.  A quick correction and she listens so well.     She listens really well but being young you need to be firm in your voice. Winnie would be thrilled to go to obedience classes. We are still learning more about her everyday and from what we have learned so far she is going to make a terrific companion for some lucky family.      I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.   Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.  You can drop off donations at our weekly adoption events at the Lee's Summit Petco (1860 NW Chipman Road, Lee's Summit, MO), Saturdays only from 11am to 2:00 p.m.  Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.  Would you like to foster a Furry Kid? Furry Kids' Refuge will supply the food & vet care while you supply the basic house rules & love.......win-win for all!!  Just visit our website http://www.furrykidsrefuge.org/category/fostering/  for more information. Thanks for your support!

Story
Very sweet 7 yo 6m mini Aussie female, Prairie Rose, needing rehome. Originally rescued when about 2 years old. High stress/anxiety. Not long after we adopted her she bit someone in the face when they got too close to her too quickly, and another on the hand when we had someone try to come let her outside on a walk when we were away. We did about a year of consistent gentle dog training with quite a bit of improvement in behavior. Walks very well with gentle lead, though any loud noises will get her running back home. Does tend to herd, likes to walk behind you. We have kept her away from any new people/strangers and taken as many protective measures as possible, but unfortunately she gets high stress with children. She has bitten our daughter twice (face both times) when she just got too close to her walking by and happening to spook her. It breaks our heart but we do feel that it would be better for both Prairie and our family if she was in a home without children.

Story
Please read bio before applying! Meet Merlin. This young man has had a rough go of it at just 1 year old. Merlin came to us as a commercial breeder release and when we got him at 6 months old, he had never been handled by humans. As a result, he is very distrusting of humans and requires a lot of patience and time to adjust to new people. Merlin is very dog friendly and because he is more comfortable with dogs than humans, we are requiring that he go to a home with at least one other canine. This will help set him up for success. He will also need a home with a secure fenced in yard, as he can be a bit of a flight risk, and he will need a home with no small children. Merlin has the potential to be an amazing companion, he just needs someone who will give him the time he needs to adjust
