My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ginny, I've got your number. I need to make you mi-ine.

We spend a lot of time singing and laughing with this silly girl in the house. Her wiggles and vocals are hilarious, though I know she is really needing to release some of that energy with more outside time. Until it warms up a bit, she spends a lot of time happily snuggling with the humans and wrestling with the resident dog inside the house.

Some of Ginny's quirks (good and not so good):

Although she'll accept everyone in a household, she will make clear who her favorite human is! If you are lucky enough to be her chosen one, she'll make you feel like a million bucks every time she sees you. (It's me, her foster mom. I'm the chosen one.)

She'll gladly go into her kennel for bedtime, but she is so sad to be stuck in there during the day. She's managed to get herself out of there a few times.

She does nip at my dog's heels when they go outside and when they play. Still working on correcting this behavior. It seems to be in fun, but it does make my pup yelp, though he won't boss her around and tell her to stop. She can also get so eager for my attention first thing in the morning that she grabs at my arm with her teeth. It's not aggressive, but it's definitely a behavior that we're working on.

She has earned the nickname "potato. The resemblance is uncanny.

When we first met her, she was so incredibly shy. She warms up though! We had quite a few people at our house for New Years, and she quickly became friends with every one of them.

*Ginny will do best with another dog in the home to play with and help her with confidence during a transition

Additional adoption info

For us, the adoption process begins the day we take a dog or cat into our rescue. It’s a huge responsibility, taking in a lost soul and promising them a happy life, but we are pretty proud of the forever families we’ve helped create because our adoption process is so thorough.

The first step in adopting is to fill out the adoption application. This helps our volunteers understand what kind of new friend you are looking for, and allows us to identify any issues that would prevent us being able to place certain animals in certain homes. For example, breed restrictions in your town or apartment complex, etc…

The Beauties will conduct a vet check to make sure the pets you currently have are all up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. We will also contact you to set up a home visit, where we can make sure that the home you have meets the needs of the animal you are interested in. Example: fence height for dogs who are jumpers, stairs for dogs who have mobility challenges, etc… We try to troubleshoot any potential problem areas and offer friendly advise so that our ultimate goal, a forever happy match, can be achieved.

After the application process is complete, the real fun begins! It’s time for Meet-N-Greets! We have a professional dog trainer on our board of directors, and we can schedule her assistance in helping you with dog-to-dog introductions while you are searching for your new family member. It’s amazing how often the existing family pet has a little something to say about who they want to spend time with and having a pro help out makes the potential for a successful intro go through the woof! We mean, roof!

Once you have decided on the dog or cat of your dreams, all that is left to do is sign the adoption contract and pay the fee, which includes all vaccinations, microchip and spay/neuter.

Beauties and Beasts is a state-licensed 501(c)(3) death row rescue located in Wichita, Kansas. Since our founding in October 2014, we have been able to save the lives thousands of death row animals, we have also been able to network out thousands more animals to other rescues. We are a completely 100% volunteer run rescue, we also rely on 100% donations from our followers and supporters to carry out our mission to save animals in our community.

Our purpose is to rescue death row animals from the shelter and in our community and place them in foster homes where they can receive the care and training needed to become family pets. Our main mission is to change these animals’ worlds one rescue at a time. Another large part of our mission is to be a voice for animals in need throughout our community and we are proud to say we have been able to make an impact on the streets of our city as well.

We do not discriminate against breed, age, medical needs, or behavior. We love ALL animals and breeds the same.
