We got Zuma at an animal shelter as a baby- we hoped we could keep him. But our neighbors have a problem with him coming over to their house. We thought he would stay in our yard, but he doesn’t, Unfortunately. We don’t want to have to keep him chained up or on a shock collar. He is great with kids and such a sweet dog! Looking for a good home!

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Unfortunately we are needing to rehome Max. He is almost a year old, but still has a lot of puppy in him. He is very loving and loves attention, but with two other dogs, Henry, and another baby coming soon, we just don't have enough time to give him the attention he needs. He would do best in a home with no other dogs as he does get a bit possessive of food and bones. PLEASE help us. We contacted the animal shelter we got him from. Because he is possessive sometimes with other pets. They will put him down. He will come with some puppy food and bones which he loves.

Beale

Toy Fox Terrier

Male, Adult

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Johnny is a fox terrier who thinks he is a parrot. He loves to jump on top of your shoulders and sit down, remaining perfectly balanced regardless of whether you're sitting down or walking around. Johnny's favorite game is fetch, although he is really not a fan of give. We are working on the 2nd part. He is still marking around the home, but that will hopefully be nipped in the bud when his buds are nipped. He was found running around Stephen's Lake Park with Chang, and while they're both very close and would ideally be adopted together, they are not bonded. Johnny is looking for a permanent pair of shoulders to perch on.

Lokai

Toy Fox Terrier

Male, Young

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Mr. Chang is an absolute sweetheart. He was found at Stephen's Lake Park with Johnny, and while they would ideally find a home together, they are not bonded. He is very timid and a bit of an escape artist, but he loves his person so much, he quickly comes back when called. He will definitely need a fenced-in yard. He is still working on potty training, but that will hopefully improve after he is neutered. He is very quiet and rarely barks, and just like Johnny, he loves to jump on your shoulders and lay there. He would benefit most from a calm, quiet household where he can be near his person very often.

Chica

Chihuahua

Female, Senior

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This 4.6lb, compact lady wants to be your permanent companion. If you're an Elle looking for your Bruiser, Chica may be the gal for you. Chica is a devoted lap warmer and lover of treats. She's a constant companion who does great in public & will hang out in a small dog sling/purse/stroller as long as it means she gets to stay with you. She has severe luxating patellas in both rear legs so she prefers to ride or be carried rather than walking on a leash. This can also cause her difficulties with stairs at times. Chica loves to give kisses and readily gives them to just about anybody that is willing to hold and cuddle her, preferring people over animals. She would love a home where she gets to spend 24/7 with her humans, always on a lap or laying beside them (or going places with them). She will not do well being left home alone. She loves to potty outside in temps above 50⁰, otherwise she prefers a potty pad. If at all possible, Chica would love to be adopted with her sister, Bonita. We are offering a special adoption fee of only $100 each if adopted together.
