If you are interested in meeting and adopting or have any questions please call the Lee`s Summit Animal Shelter at 816-969-1640 to schedule an appointment. Dusty is currently in a foster home so please be mindful that we will need to schedule out an appointment at least 24 hours to give our foster time to bring them in for the appointment.

***BEHAVIOR TESTING***

DOG TEST: (Good with Dogs) Dusty is currently in a foster with other dogs. He loves to wrestle with the puppies in the home and is respectful of the adult dogs. Dusty loves to play with squeaky toys.

CAT TEST: (Good with Cats with Training) Dusty has been good in the home with cats. He will chase them play when the cats run, which she is currently being trained with and will likely need a bit more training. Once he is in a stable home he will learn very quickly.

KID TEST: (Okay with kids) Dusty is a heeler so his biggest skill is herding. He is very attentive to but would do best with older kids who respect his space.
HOUSE BROKEN: ( House Broken) Dusty appears to be completely house broken and will go outside to use the bathroom. He also alerts his foster mom when he needs to go outside by sitting at the door.

ENERGY LEVEL: (Medium-High) Dusty is still a puppy who loves to run around and play. Dusty is very smart and will do best with a dedicated owner to give him a job plenty of play time like all heelers need. He would be good for a couple who loves to go for walks and adventures.

LEASH WALKING: (Needs Work) Dusty seems to not have been on a leash most of his life and will need some regular work with the leash like most puppies. He is learning quickly with his foster and will take to a leash very quickly.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit (Yes) Down (No) Stay (No) Shake (Yes) Drop (Yes)

More about this shelter

We are a Municipal Animal Shelter for the City of Lee's Summit. We house animals brought in by Lee's Summit Animal Control Officers and Blue Springs Animal Control Officers.

Animals are also brought to us by owners that can no longer keep the animal or by strays that were impounded for running loose.

When an animal comes in as a stray, it is held for 5 days to give the owner a chance to claim it. If the owner does not claim it, on the 6th day it is put up for adoption or foster. During this 5 day holding period, if a potential adopter would like to adopt the animal, they are welcome to sign up on the adoption list. The names on the adoption list are contacted on the 6th day if no owner has made claim.
If there are no names on the adoption list, then the animal will become first come, first served when available for adoption.
