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 workouts 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.

Story
Molly is a gentle, loyal, intelligent, and observant pup. She loves to run and play with her dog brother outside, but also loves her chin scratches and belly rubs from her human family. She has been a free-ranging outdoor dog but does well in the car, in a kennel, and on a leash. She becomes protective of her pack and territory with visitors, but has done very well in the obedience training and exposure training she has received. Molly will do best in a home where she can have frequent and regular opportunities to socialize, and can safely be separated from visitors, so she does not act on her guarding instincts. Professional trainer referral can be provided on request.

Story
Marley is a very loving gentle dog. We rescued him from a bad situation 2 years ago. He has never looked back. He loves kids and his little sister dog Missy, he is her guardian in all situations. He is a cuddle dog if you can believe it, he will sit forever right next to you even if you’re not petting him. He is a very fit dog with 3 acres to rom on here, and thinks all small critters are fun to chase. He is well mannered, doesn’t beg, and patient when it’s feeding time. We are only rehoming due to my health and needing to move cross country to a home that does not have room for a big dog.

Rufus

Columbia, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rufus is a high energy dog who is looking for a new home where he can get lots of play time and exercise! He gets along great with his foster brothers and loves to wrestle, play tug and do zoomies in the yard with his buddies. He could definitely live as an only dog, but would love a home with another active dog who could help burn off some of his energy! Rufus has had successful interactions with older children, but his energy level and love of face kisses might be overwhelming for little ones or kids who aren't comfortable with big, goofy dogs. Roofie is a smart boy who knows all of the basic commands. He has a bit of anxiety and is working hard to learn things like calmly leaving his crate after being left alone and not jumping on people. He gets better and better every day and would benefit from continued training in his new home to help him with the adjustment. His active mind and athletic ability would make him an awesome candidate for activities like agility training. This handsome doofus is such a sweetie and loves attention. He's a big boy, but he wants to be a lap dog, and he spends every night curled up in bed as close as he can to his foster mom Rufus has been diagnosed with a congenital defect called pulmonic stenosis (PS). PS is a condition in which the pulmonic valve is abnormally formed and creating an obstruction of blood flow from the right heart to the lungs. This then causes the right heart to have to work harder to push blood to the lungs, which in turn causes enlargement and thickening of the right heart. Fortunately, Rufus has had a successful surgery for this condition. It is recommended he have yearly follow up visits to monitor his heart.

Story
Nate is one of the sweetest dogs you can meet. He needs lots of attention! He is a major cuddler, always finding a way on the couch to lay on your lap. He loves to play tug o war, loves treats, and enjoys sitting in the yard. And he's good with kids. The definition of a "good boy." Nate is a Priority Paws dog due to his history of not doing well in the shelter environment. He gets easily stressed and suffers unhealthy weight loss as a result.
