My story

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

Tipsy is a shining example why dogs are perfect citizens of the world. Tipsy has been through a lot in her short life. Although very much loved, she lived outside and was impregnated before her first birthday. She gave birth under a shed to a litter of 8 when nobody realized she was pregnant.

This girl is about 35 pounds, has grown her babies into the cutest litter of fluffy pups and is ready to show off to the world herself. From living in a backyard, she was not exposed to most things a good dog deserves. Despite that, she’s housebroken herself, plays perfectly with her foster siblings (75 lb lab, 95 lb hound, and 5 lb poodle that was visiting for the holiday). She lives for a ball - throw a tennis ball, kick a soccer ball, squeaky and bouncy, she doesn’t discriminate. When she brings the ball back she tosses it towards you to say, Again!

Tipsy is polite with the 20year old resident cat and thinks it’s great fun to talk to the cat with her little woo-woos.

She is perfect on a leash. She walks every morning and has quickly learned to look forward to it. She takes treats extremely gently and lays down to eat her meals because she likes to take her time.

What are her downsides you ask? Well she likes to jump for attention. We are working on that but remember she’s just a puppy herself. She still needs to learn basic manners but she picks up things quickly and who would mind training when she did the rest of the hard work herself.

Tipsy is such a sweet girl and is ready to find a family of her very own that will continue to expose her to new things. She would love a confident dog sibling to show her the ropes when going into something new, she has so much to learn and experience for the first time!

More about this rescue

The Heart of America Humane Society is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization helping to place shelter and foster animals into permanent homes in and around the greater Kansas City metro area.

Our goal is to save and improve the lives of Kansas City's homeless companion animals by promoting responsible pet ownership. The Heart of America Humane Society (HAHS) partners with the Lee's Summit Animal Shelter (Lee's Summit MO) and KCK Animal Services (Kansas City KS) to increase pet adoptions into responsible, permanent homes.

Background
Our organization does not have a permanent facility or paid staff, so many of our adoptions take place at PetSmart stores and occasionally through other event venues. Some events raise awareness and bring in donations for our animal support efforts, while others help acknowledge and show appreciation for our own volunteers (who perform all duties outside of their regular jobs). Visit our website to learn more about us at heartofamericahs.org.
