My story

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

At the shelter she was absolutely terrified. Her kennel was right by the hallway entrance and she seemed to be very scared by the door opening and closing and not knowing what would happen or who was coming in. She paced constantly and lost 15# off her entrance weight of 63# in just a month. She is still a bit timid around doors opening and closing, but comes in with the other dogs from the yard when called.

She has gained weight nicely and has a beautiful black coat. She eats well and goes to her kennel for meal time. She is currently a member of a pack of 7 dogs and does very well. She is submissive and doesn't want any trouble. She LOVES to be outside and bask in the sun.

She was very timid when she came to foster, but with time and a foster transfer of a little male growly terrier she has settled into the home's routine and loves to be close and snuggle into her humans. She gives the sweetest little tentative kisses!

She is potty trained, kennel trained, does well on leash and know sit, stay and wait. She doesn't dig in the yard, counter surf or jump up on furniture. She asks to come up on the couch. She is a very good girl, needs a calm home, and will make a great add to your heart!

Lorelei was at the city shelter and deemed a potentially dangerous dog. Her owner could not comply with the city ordinance to keep her so surrendered her. Lorelei has since been in foster and other homes without issue. She will have to be in a home outside Wichita City Limiits.

Adoption Fee: $200 - Includes Spay/Neuter, Microchip, and UTD on all vaccines.

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.

More about this rescue

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.
