Story
Hi there, I am Gunner- it is a pleasure to meet you! I am a 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who was lost on the streets, that is how I ended up at MSC. No one ever came from me, so now the nice folks of MSC are trying to help me find a new family who will love me forever. I am only 50lbs, which makes me the perfect pocket pitty! I really enjoy being around people and playing outside. I would love to go everywhere with you if I could. Cuddling on the couch and giving you kisses are some of my favorite things to do. I'd love to be the only doggo in your life! No other dogs, cats, or kids, please.

Story
Max is a big boy with a huge heart! He's best described as a super cuddly couch potato. He does great in his kennel and stays very quiet and clean. He has not been around children before, so we're unsure what he would think of them. He was very interested in the resident cats while on furlough and seemed to want to play, but he did not get the opportunity to interact with them. He can be mildly dominant around new dogs, but he quickly calms down and becomes very dorky and playful.

Story
Hey there! I'm Mala and I'm probably the happiest girl you will ever meet. I'm an active girl who loves to play with my best friend, Bob. I love toys/bones, and I'm very smart. If my foster mom wasn't lazy, I'd probably know more than the basic commands. So if you want to teach me more tricks I'd pick them up real quick. I've even taught best friend Bob how to sit. Foster mom was struggling to teach him so I took over. I like people, a lot. Sometimes I forget that I'm not supposed to jump up and give them kisses on the face. But in my defense who doesn't want to know they are loved? I've learned to coexist with the felines in my foster home and I'll leave them alone if they stay away from me and don't run when they see me. I do have a dominant personality but I also really like to play. So maybe if you have a submissive dog and are looking to get them a friend? I could be that dog! But I'd also do great as an only dog. I love car rides and walks or if running is your thing that's fun too. I'm pretty athletic so whatever fun things you want to do I'm sure I'll be good at them too! I also really love snuggles and naps on the couch. Play hard, and relax often is my motto. Mala is 3 years old, spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you would like to meet Mala please fill out an application on the website. She would love to meet you soon!

Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Destiny! But my foster mom calls me Dessy or Dessy Bear (I love her names for me).andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m looking for a home of my own for Christmas. Iandamp;#39;ve been a very good girl this year (Iandamp;#39;m at the top of Santaandamp;#39;s Nice List)&#44 so let me tell you why you need me under your tree right now. I would prefer to be the only pet in your home&#44 I desire to have all the love to itandamp;#39;s fullest. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was scared when I first came to the shelter&#44 and the noise and confusion made me very unhappy. As soon as I found a foster home&#44 though&#44 I relaxed&#44 and now my mom says Iandamp;#39;m the perfect dog. I like things to be calm&#44 because Iandamp;#39;m calm&#44 too.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I like to snuggle&#44 take rides in the car&#44 and play with my favorite big blue ball. I really like stuffies&#44 but sometimes I like them too much&#44 so Iandamp;#39;m better off with chew toys...or my favorite big blue ball.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m housebroken&#44 and I always stand by the door to tell my mom that itandamp;#39;s time to let me outside. I love my fenced backyard&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m not crazy about going for walks. Something about them scares me&#44 and although Iandamp;#39;m getting braver&#44 my favorite part is when we turn around and go home.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My mom says Iandamp;#39;m super smart&#44 and even though sheandamp;#39;s partial&#44 I will admit that I learn things really fast. I know how to sit and lie down and come when Iandamp;#39;m called&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is andamp;quot;wait.andamp;quot; I know to wait while my mom walks in or out of a door and to wait before I get in or out of the car&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is waiting until Iandamp;#39;m invited up on her bed or her chair. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Even if she puts a treat on the floor and tells me to andamp;quot;wait&#44andamp;quot; I will&#44 although sometimes I drool just a little. As great as I am about waiting&#44 though&#44 Iandamp;#39;m ready to stop waiting to find my forever home. Please come meet me soon. I think we could be each otherandamp;#39;s very best present this Christmas.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;With all my love&#44andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Destiny (aka Dessy andamp; Dessy Bear)

I rest my head in a volunteerandamp;#39;s hand&#44 my eyes closed as I dream of a soft couch and a bonbon or two&#44 and I love just letting the water wash over me. Maybe Iandamp;#39;m into swimming pools&#44 too?

Story
Introducing Foster Topsy, a heartwarming 10.5-year-old bulldog who's an absolute snuggle bug! Topsy's journey brought her to KCEBR, where she arrived as a neglected sweetheart. She had struggled with bad skin, minimal fur, goopy eyes, and the weight of fear. Despite her challenges, she radiates resilience and love. Topsy's vision may be impaired, but her ability to love knows no bounds. Although she might not always locate your exact position, her keen sense of hearing lets her tune into your presence. Navigating her surroundings, both indoors and within her enclosed yard, is a breeze for this spirited bulldog. And you won't believe it, but Topsy has taken to galloping down the hall! When it comes to her preferences, Topsy has a penchant for vegetables - a healthy choice that shows her unique taste. But that's not all. She adores nothing more than catching up on her beauty sleep and soothing herself by sucking on fuzzy blankets. Living harmoniously with a pack of two Bulldogs and two Labradors, Topsy fits right in. Her life has transformed under the caring wings of KCEBR, and the future holds nothing but pure, unconditional love for this special soul. Thank you, KCEBR, for ensuring that the rest of Topsy's days are brimming with warmth and affection.
