My story

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

If Derp were a dog breed, Geno would be purebred.
I don't mean that in a negative way. But seriously, this boy is so laid back and wants nothing more than to hang out with his people.
I met Geno (was Keno) through our community assistance program when I helped facilitate his vetting services. Two months later, he was picked up as a stray and taken to the shelter. His owners never reclaimed him. Fortunately he was chipped to Beauties and we were notified when he was picked up. He was then euth listed and I couldn't let him die in the shelter. He's been in foster with me for several weeks now. He's a really great dog!
Geno is a tall, thin, handsome, 2 year old pit mix. He weighs 62 pounds and we're working on helping him gain a little more weight.
He knows basic commands like sit, wait and kennel up. He's very food motivated so additional training with him should be a breeze. He's perfect on leash and consistently walks at my left with a loose leash. He does stop occasionally just to gawk at something but with encouragement, will walk again. He'd be the perfect walking companion for anyone.
He's gone to daycare and, other than being a little shy, he did well. I will have him cat tested but he has no prey drive so I'm hopeful he's cat friendly too.

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.
