Story
*Long stay - 6+ months. Adoption fee partially sponsored! Kid friendly: YesDog friendly: YesCat friendly: UnknownEnergy level: Medium Leash skills: DecentKeeps a clean kennel: Yes!We don’t know a lot about Karma’s life before she joined the FFAA family. This is because her first owners abandoned her when they moved out of their home and left her and another dog behind. As we’ve gotten to know her, however, it’s clear that Karma is a dog who is full of love and loves life. Although not always hyper, she eagerly spends bursts of excitement outside with her doggy friends. Her best friend Boaz has to work hard to keep up with her speed and precision as they wrestle and chase toys together. Karma loves to play with her human friends too! Her play style is best described as imitative of a kangaroo as she pounces and boxes with spread-toed front feet between bouts of gentle play mouthing and sprinting after tossed toys. You know you’ve won her over when she finally stops, drops, and rolls around, front feet still slapping around in the air, showing off her cute pink stomach. Karma is a first class and enthusiastic player, but please don’t underestimate the quality of cuddle time you’ll get. She’s just fine laying on the couch by herself, but she really comes alive when you take a few minutes to join her. Stretch out your legs and she’ll slide in beside them and rest her head on your body. As she drifts off to sleep, it’s almost impossible not to join her! She loves to be a part of whatever you’re doing, often forgoing toys or treats in order to plop herself quietly in the middle of it and patiently request some headpats. Karma's leash skills are improving slowly, but her biggest hurdle is excitement - she forgets all her newly attained skills when something grabs her interest, and she heads full tilt towards it. She's a muscly gal, so whoever is on the other end of her leash is in for a workout! However, the more she practices, the more she improves.We don't know if she was house or crate trained, but she keeps a potty-free kennel.On a recent Doggy Day Out, Karma, along with her shelter bestie Brahn, got to spend the afternoon walking several miles, going and getting a pup cup, playing in the creek, and going to the dog park. Karma's report card confirmed that she was perfectly ladylike. She rode well in the car, waited patiently for her pup cup, walked well on the leash, was easily manageable, was social and polite to passing dogs and humans, and really really wanted to play with the kids she encountered. Karma’s story broke our hearts. It’s difficult to understand why anyone would abandon their pet, but especially when a dog is as loyal and loving and full of lighthearted quirks and personality as Karma is, it’s incomprehensible. She’s been at FFAA for over 5 months now with very little interest. She deserves a forever home where she will never be abandoned again. If she sounds like she might be a good fit for you, please contact the shelter through our email adopt.ffaa@gmail.com or give us a call at (417) 592-2512, or fill out an application on our website! https://www.ffaaneosho.org/Shelter hours: Closed Monday-Tuesday. Open 12-7 Wednesday-Friday. Open 10-4 Saturday-Sunday.

Story
Zoro is a very sweet, kind and well mannered boy. He is eager to please, easily taught new tricks/skills with a little training. He has a super cute underbite. He is great with other dogs, great with cats (I have 4 cats). He was a rescue, but I have had him for almost 3 years now. I have 5 dogs, I work full time, 2 hour total daily commute and dont have enough time or space to spend with Zoro. I would love for him to have someone who can spend more time, walking, running, playing etc. He loves to cuddle as well as be active. He plays with toys and will entertain himself too. He is neutered, up to date on shots, crate trained (sleeps in crate overnight). Note: I also have his sister Roxy. They play together well but I will rehome them separately or together. Roxy is also up for adoption. Age: about 3 years old. Both great dogs. Adoption fee negotiable for the right family.

Story
Kid friendly: YesDog friendly: SelectiveCat friendly: UnknownSize: Large (70 lbs)Energy level: MediumKeeps a clean kennel: Yes (Perfectly clean!)Whitney is a large mixed breed dog (we are thinking Lab/Pyrenees mix) who came to the shelter with her 4 big pups, Ashley, Brittany, Courtney, and Kyle! It was easy to tell that this family had been through a lot. Disturbingly underweight, even for a mom that had recently been nursing, her natural sociability and eagerness to enjoy newfound human companionship was stifled by her flinchy nervousness and constant tiptoeing appeasement. With the unconditional love she was shown every day, Whitney blossomed immediately, leaving her fear in the past with everything else that happened to her. She loved all her office dog sessions, and they helped her confidence grow. There's no more flinching at reaching hands, only tongue flopping and tail wagging at the opportunity to play. When she's excited, she breaks into a toothy grin, whole body wiggling with joy. This girl loves love and is pretty much a sponge, soaking in gentle attention and just luxuriating. She's been dog selective so far, but we're working on it with introducing her to lots of dogs and she's improving every day! Whatever situation she came from, we're lucky to have her now, and we'll be making extra certain that as she moves on from her time with us, her new family treasures her and treats her right. It's what she deserves.

Story
Bo is a presumed Lab/Pyrenees mixed breed puppy. This sweet and sensitive boy was pulled from a situation with an owner who wanted him dead or gone. Shy and unsure at first, Bo and his sister Daisy have blossomed into puppies who enjoy making new friends, playing, and interacting with the world around them. Now that they no longer have to worry about scrounging up food in the nearest garbage can, they've found out how much fun just being a puppy can be. Bo is a fairly restrained and chill young pup. He draws a lot of confidence from being around other dogs, but one-on-one he's a perfect gentleman. His interactions with very young children and toddlers have been shockingly polite, and we think he'd be an amazing family dog. While friendly, he's not overly pushy or jumpy. Of course, all this changes when he's outside, romping with his sister or with kennel staff. He's a big fan of plushy toys, and he's willing to think and work very hard for treats (meaning he's going to enjoy training sessions a lot). With his open and endearing nature, Bo faces every day with excitement and joy. He's come so far already, and we can't wait to see what an awesome dog he will become once he gets to go to his forever home. Whether bouncing around with his sister, following treat lures, making new friends with prospective adopters, or playing with toys in the office, Bo has captured our hearts with his sweet face, derpy mlems, and loving nature.

Story
Tiny will come with the rest of her bottle of Proin, a medication to help her control her bladder. Kid friendly: YesDog friendly: Yes - can be prickly/overcorrect Cat friendly: UnknownEnergy level: Medium - playful but runs out of steam fast (weight & age)Leash skills: DecentHousebroken: YesTiny is anything but! This portly owner surrender is in need of someone who will care just as much about getting her back into shape as getting all the sweet "senior" doggy kisses from her. Arriving at over 28 lbs, Tiny has undergone a weightloss of epic proportions - she has lost close to ten lbs, which for a small dog is no small feat. Tiny entered FFAA's custody due to her owner having to go to nursing home. She's described as being active, playful, affectionate, enjoys pets and cuddles, and prefers to stay at her owner's side. Tiny can get along with other dogs, but as an older lady, she's prone to being a little prickly when other dogs enter her space bubble. We have been told that with children, she's a star. She has never been around cats, but we can test upon requst.Tiny has been at FFAA for several months now due to us working on her issue of pottying frequently. She's currently on Proin, a medication that aids in poor muscle tone to help urinary incontinence. We've seen lots of improvement when she's on it, but it is likely that she will need to be on that medication indefinitely.
