Story
In 2022, my husband and I found Stella on the side of a county road by herself. We rolled down the window of our car to see if she was okay. She wasted no time to jump right into the car with us. She was quite friendly and did not mind coming home with us. We searched the area for anyone missing a dog and even took her to the vet to check for a microchip. But, we only found that Stella had hookworms and scars on her legs. Ever since, we've had her as a part of our family. She is approximately 2 years old and FULL of endless energy! Not to mention, toys are a MUST for her obsession with them! An active lifestyle and plenty of room to run is a perfect home for her! Two words to describe Stella would be loving and energetic!

Story
From those sweet eyes to that goofy smile, Diesel loves to catch everyone's attention! He loves to play with people, knows how to sit on command, and would love to find his family this year as he's been waiting for over 1,000 days here at our shelter!! He's been to multiple adoption events, so we don't understand why this sweet guy continues to be passed by. His only restriction is that he is looking for a home with no other animals. He's does great on pack walks but after not having a home for years, he gets very attached to his family members and doesn't like to share with other animals when inside a home. He has NO ADOPTION FEE thanks to his sponsor. Diesel has already been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and is up to date on vaccinations so this sweet boy is all ready to go! **Interested adopters MUST bring their own dog(s) that your new canine will be living with at your household.

Wolfie

Pittsburg, KS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Just as her name portrays, Wolfie is 23% grey wolf!! She is a very large dog; her journey began at the SEKHS at the beginning of the year as she was found roaming loose in danger of being hit by cars. We see this trend with illegal breeders from time to time that drop off their "unwanted pups; so we first reached out to nearby wolf sanctuaries. Sadly, she does not meet the 25% genetic criteria. However, she is legal to own due to this! She is comfortable with only the people she trusts, and all others she is terrified of.....sadly that's our hardest hurdle as we don't know the full story of her past on what she has been through. However, she can be walked comfortly on a leash with those individuals! With time, she opens up to the beautiful and happy girl you see in these pictures! Wolfie does have requirements to be able to adopt due to her specific nature and breed. REQUIREMENTS: -Wolfie is only available for foster-to-adopt. He future adopters must understand that her adoption will take time as she learns that she can trust them. -Before fostering to adopt, interested applicant must visit with her several times out our shelter. This is to help start the bonding process as moving to a home will be new for her. -Interested applicant MUST already own a large dog! She has done fantastic with other large dogs and thrives on pack structure; this gives her a huge progression point as she can move into a home with another animal that she is comfortable with. -Interested applicant MUST bring their dog(s) with them to the shelter before foster to adopt so Wolfie can meet with them. -Interested applicant must NOT HAVE ANY CATS. -Due to Wolfie's fear of humans, she is currently looking for a mature household with kids 16 years and up. If you meet these requirements and would like to proceed with the first steps toward fostering to adopt Wolfie, please apply for Wolfie online on our website: www.thesekhumanesociety.com Wolfie is already spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested and up to date on vaccinations!
