Story
Cosmo is incredibly smart and very skilled at catching. He’s extremely fast and loves to play as often as he can! He will play catch, frisbee, or tug of war and he loves to tumble around with other dogs. He LOVES to play in water. He has been around mainly other big/medium dogs. He has been around small dogs as well just not very often (a chihuahua/dachshund mix and a beagle). He is fine around kids for the most part but he doesn’t do well if he has a bone. For that reason we are looking for a home without kids unless the new owner is a trainer OR has previous experience with resource guarding. He has no issues sharing toys or water with other dogs, not sure about bones/food as we have never tried since he’s the only dog in our house. He would be an amazing companion for anyone who loves outdoor adventures like hiking, disc golf/frisbee, kayaking, etc. His new owner will inherit (if they want it) 2 kennels, his food with plastic storage container, any current toys, and leash/collar.

Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mowgli is a big dog with an even bigger heart. Some dear friends got him as a puppy and he was raised with their young children and chickens. Their home and yard weren’t big enough and we had just moved to some property, so Mowgli joined our family of 3 young kids and another dog. He was a great fit and has been a tremendous blessing through some wonderful and difficult times. He is very gentle with our kids and allows our 4th to crawl/pull/play all over him without so much at a complaint. He is very protective of the family. While he still has some energy, he's definitely no longer in his puppy stage. We are in the process of some big life changes and it’s not for his best to continue on with us - we’re hoping to find a great home for him with a family that will love him like we do. We’re not asking for a fee for rehoming - just a great fit and great family.

Jack Russell Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Puppy
Higginsville, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cola is a great dog but recommended for households with children older than 5. We have very small children and she’s in the jumping on them stage of being a puppy that we haven’t been able to break yet. Our kids are getting knocked over and resenting her. Besides this, Cola has been great. We rescued her from the shelter after being dumped on the side of the road with her litter. She just needs someone with time to train her which we just don’t have right now. She is kennel trained and will stay in there when we leave the house or go to bed. She does like to cuddle in bed or on the couch if you will let her!
