Story
Baxter won’t be winning any races, but he is sure to win your heart. Baxter came to us unable to walk. He has worked hard and with the help of cold laser therapy and the staff at Tomahawk Animal Hospital, Baxter can now stand and take steps. Baxter would LOVE a home with another dog to play with. He loves playing. We are looking for a special home that will embrace Baxter’s uniqueness. He is 8-10 years old and 17 lbs., a little shaggy mix. If you think you might be the home for our special boy, please email us at LLDogRescue@yahoo.com Thank you to those who adopt, donate and share so we can save little men like Baxter.

Story
Introducing Cooper, our affectionate and well-behaved neutered male Shih-tzu/Cocker Spaniel mix. This non-shedding, 16 lb creamy white dog with touches of tan is the perfect companion. He enjoys leisurely walks and quiet moments in his favorite spot, as well as energetic romps in the yard. Cooper thrives on routine and tranquility. At around 10 years old, he has been a cherished part of our family for eight years, adapting well to different homes and travels. However, our recent move has left him feeling more anxious and unsettled. While he can manage being alone for up to 8 hours, our frequent travels and the presence of small children make him nervous and reclusive. Cooper is a gentle soul who only barks to convey needs or to alert us. The ideal home for him would be a peaceful environment with adults who can provide the calm and stability he needs.

Story
Squeaker has been a companion for my husband and son. My husband has passed away. Squeaker needs someone at home most of the time. He is in need of a grooming and vaccines possibly. It's been tough with everything. Squeaker is very friendly with other dogs and kind of territorial with food. He just doesn't want it taken from him. He is a love bug and loves to go for walks and run run run in the yard.

Story
DOB: 12/5/2018                Approx. Weight: 9.44 Lbs Adoption Fee: $ 250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Lila was released to Furry Kids' by a breeder.  Lila is a sweet curious little Shih Tzu. She is shy and working on coming out of her shell and trying to feel like she belongs in a home! She loves her food and is a great eater! She is pretty potty trained (potty pads)as well as kennel trained. Once Lila warms up she just wants to follow you everywhere and be your shadow! She loves toys and even items she thinks are toys, she has a lot of personality for a pup that has lived most her life in a kennel. She just wants to feel loved! She is great around all sizes of dogs and cats. she is a really good girl that is learning the world is not as scary as she believed it to be and needs a patient family to help her blossom into the best version of herself! Lila can never be allowed to jump off furniture of any kind, also needs a home with minimal stairs.  She did jump off a low couch at her foster home and landed incorrectly which resulted in a fracture/broken leg. She had surgery by the top orthopedic surgeon in Kansas City and she has healed well.  We also did a special blood test on her to verify that she had no underlying issues that would cause her bones to be weak.  As for grooming, she is very squirmy.  The Shih Tzu breed needs grooming every 4-6 weeks and she will need to go to an experienced groomer.  Please include the name and location of the groomer you currently use on your application. Children 10 and older please. I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped. Has also had a dental.  If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.   Furry Kids' Refuge is in need of good quality dog and puppy food with meat as the first ingredient.  You can drop off donations at our weekly adoption events at the Lee's Summit Petco (1860 NW Chipman Road, Lee's Summit, MO), Saturdays only from 11am to 2:00 p.m.  Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.  Would you like to foster a Furry Kid? Furry Kids' Refuge will supply the food & vet care while you supply the basic house rules & love.......win-win for all!!  Just visit our website http://www.furrykidsrefuge.org/category/fostering/  for more information. Thanks for your support!
