Story
Loki is a 4 year old loving and playful boy with lots of energy. We got him from a rescue in the Kansas City area that has since closed. He plays well with the other dog in the house but gets a little jealous when it time for love. He is house broke and crate trained. Knows a few basic commands. He always wants to go with and did frequently with dad until he got sick and couldn't go anymore. He would love some running room or an active person to play with. He is good with teenagers but has never been around small children. He runs well with someone on a bicycle, used to do the Katie Trail with my grand daughter but she can't do that anymore. He needs a loving home with no other pets and someone to love him and play with him.

Story
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 new home!

Story
Dorothy is the epitome of a golden girl. She's sweet when she wants to be and full of snark when she doesn't. She loves playing zoom doggy and gets a mischievous glint in her eye just as you're about to pick her up and she zooms away from you. She may be an old gal, but there's plenty of life left in her.

Kiwi is a playful, energetic puppy who was voted most likely to win a marathon by all his siblings. He is very kind-hearted and sweet, and has never gotten too revved up when playing. Because he enjoys being around his siblings so much, he'd benefit most from having a furry friend in his new home.

Toy Fox Terrier

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.
