Story
We show our dogs by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting Quill, please first fill out our online adoption application at kcpaws.org. Quill's adoption fee will be $175. PLEASE READ BIOGRAPHY BEFORE APPLYING Meet Quill, he is a 4-6 year old Husky/Akita Mix who came to us after spending most of his life on a chain. He has loved getting to live life to the fullest since coming to our rescue and enjoys his daily walks and runs and playing fetch in the yard with staff. Quill has warmed up well to the staff here at KC PAWS and has particularly bonded with the manager there, it is clear that once he is bonded and trust someone he is a friendly and affectionate dog. However due to his past he sometimes is weary of strangers approaching him. He is not the type of dog that would like being in large crowds or having strangers come up to pet him during walks. He will also need his potential adopter to be willing to do multiple visits with him before adoption. Quill has met a few female dogs that he has gotten along well with, however he does not like to interact with other male dogs especially if they are his size or larger. He would do best with a female dog around his size. He does need a home with no small dogs, or cats. He would not be an appropriate fit for a home with children as he does not like for people to be in his face leaning over him and children on his level would be frightening for him. Quill is a very active, high energy dog and LOVES to run. He would be an excellent match for someone looking for a running, hiking, adventure buddy. Quill is kennel trained and keeps his run at the shelter clean. He also loves to go for car rides. Quill needs an experienced dog owner who will be willing to really work on training and socializing. He is not an appropriate fit for a first time dog owner or someone who has no previous training experience.

Story
Meet Zeke! He is a young male brown/white Akita around 8-12 months of age. He was removed from a situation where he did not receive much attention, so Zeke will require someone with experience with this breed to foster or adopt him. Zeke has been great with people and previously lived with a medium-sized poodle. He'd like to meet his potential canine siblings before heading home. He's a loving boy and wants to please. He needs an adult-only home with people who have the time and patience to teach him the world isn't so scary. If you would like to meet Zeke please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. Zeke is in the KC metro, but transport to the right home might be available.

Hi there&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Leo! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a handsome husky mix with a calm soul&#44 a sweet heart&#44 and a brain thatandamp;#39;s always working (in a good way-Iandamp;#39;m very smart&#44 if I do say so myself). Iandamp;#39;m looking for my forever person or family&#44 and I think you might be just the one.andlt;br/andgt;Let me tell you a little bit about myself:andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m house-trained (yep&#44 no accidents here!) and I know my way around a home. Iandamp;#39;ll go in a crate if you ask me to&#44 but to be honest&#44 I donandamp;#39;t really need one- My foster mom lets me free roam when she is away and Iandamp;#39;ve done great. andlt;br/andgt;My absolute favorite thing in the world? Walks! Iandamp;#39;m a fabulous walking buddy. Whether itandamp;#39;s a peaceful stroll around the neighborhood or a long&#44 scenic hike&#44 Iandamp;#39;m your guy. Iandamp;#39;d love to be part of an active household where we can explore together and enjoy the great outdoors.andlt;br/andgt;When weandamp;#39;re not adventuring&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll happily chill out with you. I show my affection in sweet ways-like gently resting my head in your lap or rolling over to ask for belly rubs. Iandamp;#39;m a lover&#44 through and through. While I havenandamp;#39;t really taken to fetch (I still donandamp;#39;t quite get the point of bringing it back!)&#44 I do love my squeaky toys and peanut butter Kongs. andlt;br/andgt;I do well as a solo dog&#44 but if you have another pup at home&#44 Iandamp;#39;d love to meet them first to make sure weandamp;#39;re a good match. andlt;br/andgt;If youandamp;#39;re looking for a sweet&#44 gentle&#44 intelligent companion whoandamp;#39;s as happy on a trail as he is snuggled in a blanket&#44 I might just be your perfect match.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Canandamp;#39;t wait to meet you!andlt;br/andgt;Love&#44andlt;br/andgt;Leo

I can be a little shy at first&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m learning to be brave. Iandamp;#39;m a world-class snuggler and a pro at giving kisses. My eyes? Theyandamp;#39;ll gaze straight into your soul and remind you how much youandamp;#39;re loved.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a happy&#44 eager-to-please guy who just wants to be your best friend.
