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)

Wanna know my favorite thing in the whole wide world? Itandamp;#39;s a WARM BATH! Yep&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Lenny&#44 and when they put me in the bathtub here at the shelter&#44 my whole-body melts into a big ole pile of mush. 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? Youandamp;#39;ll never know the answer to that question until you adopt me and get me a pool.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ve got a sparkling personality&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a high-energy&#44 confident and food motivated boy. Iandamp;#39;m friendly&#44 happy-go-lucky&#44 and I love everyone I meet. Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with my energy level. And since Iandamp;#39;m a family-oriented guy&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll need to meet all the kids in the home to make sure everyoneandamp;#39;s perfect match.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was a lucky boy and had an overnight with a volunteer recently. I didnandamp;#39;t know the volunteer or her husband but no worries because I ADORE humans. No one is a stranger to me. PLUS&#44 I was an excellent houseguest. NO accidents in the home&#44 cuddled while watching TV&#44 great on walks and loved playing with toys/balls. Oh&#44 I canandamp;#39;t forget that I was great in the car too!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Besides a bath&#44 my favorite things include chasing after toys&#44 going for walks (and I recently won an award at the shelter for andamp;quot;best all-round walkerandamp;quot;) and of course basking in the love and attention of my favorite humans. Iandamp;#39;m the kind of guy who will always greet you with a wagging tail and a smile that will light up your world. When Iandamp;#39;ve played with other dogs here at the shelter&#44 Iandamp;#39;ve got a young&#44 energetic&#44 loose&#44 rowdy&#44 and wiggly play style.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If youandamp;#39;re looking for a sweet&#44 fun-loving companion who will make every day a little brighter&#44 come meet me.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Lenny xoxo

Iandamp;#39;ve kissed a pig&#44 and I liked it! LOL&#44 I really have! Iandamp;#39;m Eeyore&#44 and Iandamp;#39;ve been living in a foster home with a really nice lady&#44 two dogs&#44 and a pig&#44 and we all get along quite well. Iandamp;#39;m house trained and kennel trained&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m just a dear young boy who wants ever so much to have a family and home of his own.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Before getting to Great Plains&#44 I was out on the run for awhile. It was a scary and difficult time for me&#44 but I made it through. KC Dog Trappers is an amazing group of dog rescuers&#44 and they rescued me! Thankfully now&#44 Iandamp;#39;ve made a lot of new friends that help me be less timid and feel more brave. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m dog friendly&#44 super sweet&#44 and ready for a forever home. I would love a family who understands that Iandamp;#39;ve spent a lot of my life all by my lonesome. But Iandamp;#39;m learning about the good things in life. While I am timid&#44 Iandamp;#39;m also learning to open up and trust. Iandamp;#39;m friendly&#44 soft and warm&#44 mellow and relaxed. I adore squeaky toys&#44 and I love soft treats and cheese! I believe I was born to be a couch potato&#44 and I was born to be your best friend. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Donandamp;#39;t you think you wanna meet me?

Story
Meet Stewie My name is Stuart, but my friends call me Stewie. I'm a Pittie mix who is a little over 1 year old. I've been with my foster family for a few months now and am looking for a forever home of my own. My foster mom brought me to her home after meeting me because she felt really bad about the rough start I had to my life. You see, I was found by the Pet Resource Center of Kansas City's Outreach team in December. I'd been outside in the rain and cold over Christmas and I was skinny and scared. I wasn't sure if I could trust the humans who found me, but eventually I went along with them and was soon warm and safe and had food in my tummy. When my foster mom first brought me home with her, I was happy to find there were dogs in her home but I needed to make the male human in the home work for my trust, lol. He hand fed me 3 meals a day for a few days before I finally thought he was okay. I must keep some secrets to myself, but my foster parents quickly learned I wasn't treated very well by the humans who had me before. I don't want to tell them everything and make them sad, but they do know I was abused. I wasn't afraid of things in the house, but if someone made sudden movements I'd flinch. I'm doing a LOT better with that now thanks to all the love and patience from my foster family. It takes me some time to warm up to new humans, men mostly, but as soon as I know you're okay, I'm the bestest friend you could ever want! I give nice kisses, and will roll over for belly rubs. I do make my foster parents laugh a lot especially because of my "Super Top Secret Shoe Relocation Program". It's a mystery to everyone else except for me, but sometimes I think my foster parents' shoes or slippers need to be relocated to different areas of the house. I think it's super funny when they wake up in the morning and can't find their slippers! I also talk a LOT which sometimes frustrates me because my foster parents don't know what I'm trying to tell them. They think I should probably live in a house and not an apartment because I do talk so much. I like to go on walks, and I love learning new stuff. My foster mom has taught me how to sit, lay down, look at her, come here, and a few other things. I like it when she spends time with me teaching me stuff, and think I'd like a human who will continue doing things like that with me. I've put a lot of thought into this, and I think my ideal forever home will be one that's laid back but with humans who want to take me on walks every day. My BFF in my foster home is Soda Pop. We're pretty close in age and have lots of fun wrestling and playing and going on walks together. I don't need to live with another dog though because sometimes I just want to hang out and Soda just wants to play non-stop, which can be kinda annoying sometimes (but don't tell him I said that). If you're looking for a smart, handsome, affectionate guy who enjoys long walks and new adventures I'm your guy.

My Dad and Best Friend passed away, and l'm looking for my forever home! Healthy Male 3 yr. old Boxer Mix. Neutered. Vaccines are Up-To-Date till Oct. 2025. Super friendly, and love to give kisses! Not fond of little dogs, and little children that take my toys. Needs a slow introduction to new doggies over time. Loves to be the center of attention. I don't like cats, and get a little nervous during thunder storms. I would love an energetic family that plays! Since my Dad passed away in Oct. 2024 and all the changes, I have had some separation anxiety and will follow you around the house and look for you when you’re gone but will calm down after awhile. Will let you gently know when I have to poop and potty outside, and come right back in on my own. Like's car rides! Trainable, and very smart!! Needs a slow introduction to new doggies over time. Sometimes thinks he is a lap dog and loves snuggles!

Story
Dozer is a large Boxer will stick to you like velcro once he trusts you! We have to rehome because when our senior dog died in the spring the dynamic changed between the remaining 3 dogs & his dog siblings have started ganging up/attacking him. They have been separated w/gates, allowed supervised play, & training over last 6 months with minimal overall improvement in the dogs interactions. Dozer is not the problem- he is an awesome loving/ sweet/ silly dog - but he is now also scared of dogs. He may need to be the only dog or he MAY be ok with only one other FEMALE dog but they will need to meet first. He needs a home where his people are working from home or retired. He knows basic commands & is crate trained but we work from home and he has never left been alone OR in a crate longer than 3 hours. He needs a yard & a family who will provide consistent play time. Must be willing to meet first to ensure good fit. We are looking for the BEST forever fit for him NOT the fastest.
