Mastiff

Male, Adult

Gardner, KS

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nas is such a big lover, he enjoys cuddles although sometimes he forgets his weight and size. He thinks of himself as more of a lap dog haha. He has been around kids aged newborn-11 years and has never shown any signs of aggression towards any of them. He can get a little concerned when tough play is happening around him as he thinks someone maybe hurt. He does live with one other dog and has never been aggressive towards her. He has never been around cats so I’m not sure how he would do. He is definitely not a dog you can judge by its cover. He can look intimidating but is truly the complete opposite. It is breaking our hearts that we are in a position to have to do this but we are hoping to find someone who will love him just as much as we do!

Remi is a 2 year old Pitt bull mix, who we adopted from KC Pet Project when she was about 7 months old. Before we took her home, we introduced her to our older Pitt Lexi, and they got along fine. We also have a Beagle, whom Remi loves to play with him. About 6 months ago Remi has become very aggressive towards her older sister. Sadly we have to re home Remi. She is a very affectionate dog, loves to snuggle and rest her heavy head on you. Potty and crate trained.

Story

I have to rehome my Foxhound Mix. He is approximately 60lbs and fully grown. Now 2 years old. He is a sweet boy who loves to run. He does great with kids, and cats and loves other dogs. Unfortunately, I am selling my house next month and need to find him a home ASAP. I cannot take him where I am going as they only allow 1 dog. My other dog is 12 years old and would be put to sleep if she were to be put up for adoption. He is house-trained, crate-trained, up-to-date on all shots, and neutered. Please be kind as this is already hard enough. Selling my home was not part of my plan but I can no longer afford it.

Bandit

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Pitsky

Male, Adult

Basehor, KS

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Bandit! Bandit is a 7 year old pitbull terrier with a beautiful dark brown coat. While he still loves to go for walks and wander outside, his preferred spot is a soft bed with a view of the front door. He's a protector, and is used to watching the house through your entire work day, without needing to go outside! Bandit is a big boy (~90 lbs) but he's healthy, up to date on all vaccinations, and is very low maintenance. Bandit is an outstanding dog and companion with a flaw that we just can't accept in our home with new children. He has never been aggressive towards me, but on a few instances has bitten people when startled or a stranger approaches too quickly. Bandit's ideal home is somewhere where there are no children and little to no strangers coming and going on a regular basis. If he is comfortable with you, he will love you unconditionally - it just takes him a little while to warm up to anyone new. He's looking for someone to love him as much as he will love them!
