Centralia, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
A friend of mine found him abandoned at a dog park. She already had two dogs and she asked me if I would take him. I love dogs and they have been a part of most of my 67 years, but I didn’t want Bogey. I don’t say no well so I took him. I had to move and i couldn’t find a place that was good for a dog. There are other issues. Bogey is extremely energetic and needs lots of attention. I couldn’t provide the exercise and attention he needed. I still work and I’m not home much. He is at a kennel right now and the cost is an extreme problem. Based on his chip he is about three years old.

Yoshi

Labrador Retriever Great Pyrenees

Male, Young
Centralia, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Yoshi is a 15-month-old Labrador/Great Pyrenees mix (dob 11/30/23). His previous owners had to move unexpectedly and were unable to take him. Our son, who lived behind his owners, agreed to take him to try to find a home for him. He built a temporary fence in his yard, which Yoshi kept getting out of and Animal Control became involved because he was loose in town. Our son brought him to our place so we could keep him until we are able to rehome him. He is currently staying in a 16'x16' fenced pen. We walk him regularly on a leash. We have not had him in the house and are uncertain as to whether or not his previous owners let him in the house. He loves human touch and affection, I have yet to hear him bark. He was raised with cats and is guarded with his food when eating. To get your attention if you are not petting him he may put your hand or arm in his mouth, but he does not bite.

Tallula

Mutt Mutt

Female, Adult
Fulton, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tallula is a sweet girl. She gives hugs, she’s talkative, she likes to relax by laying down on the back of the couch but more than anything she loves being outside. She would do really well with someone who has property for her to run freely but would do just as well with someone who could get out and take her on long walks. She loves the dog park, but when it comes to toys or treats can be possessive and has gotten into a few tiffs. She does not do well with young children, she’s never been aggressive towards a child doing their own thing but has nipped and children who have gotten in her space/ tried to sit next to her. She did well with the cats in our home but in general does not do well with small animals. She is a high energy dog and needs lots of activity. We’ve loved her so much but we know she needs more than we can offer and we hope to find her a home where she can run and play and will be loved.

Story
Kilo is an amazing companion and it saddens our family so much to have to rehome her. We have a 8 month old son and Kilo has shown us very clear signs that she is uncomfortable living with young children. I would love to explain more about Kilo and the wonderful furry friend she is to anyone interested. :)
