Story
Hi friends - Rocko here 🐾 I’ve been with my rescue since November 17, 2022 - that’s THREE winters now. I didn’t find my forever home for the holidays, but I’m still holding onto hope that my people are out there. Maybe you’re reading this right now 🤞❄️🐶 A little about me: I’m a 4-year-old, 56.5 lb pit bull / mystery mix with great manners and a calm, loving personality. I’m past the wild puppy phase and solidly in my “loyal companion” era. 🐾 Why my foster thinks I’m pretty special: ✔️ House trained ✔️ Knows sit, high five, and leave it ✔️ Professional-level cuddler ✔️ Dog-friendly with other medium to large dogs ✔️ Great with older kids ✔️ Happy, affectionate, and easy to love I’d thrive with a fenced yard and maybe a big dog buddy - but mostly, I just want a home that I can truly call my own. ❄️ If you can’t adopt right now, come skate tonight, have fun, and know you’re helping pups like me get one step closer to home! 💙 If you are looking to adopt, maybe this is our moment! 🤞 🎁 Adoption Fee: SPONSORED (our community is truly amazing 🙏) Thanks for supporting my rescue - and for keeping hope alive, even after the snow melted 🐾💜

Story
Let me tell you a little more about myself and Bumper.  I was in the Air Force for 24 years and lived in the UK for nearly 30 years.  I returned back to the US divorced and diagnosed with PTSD.  I found Bumper at the KC Pet project and within .01 seconds, I fell in love with him.  It was like he knew I needed him, and he knew that he needed me.  For 2 years he's been my best friend and a constant companion.  He is so loving, a complete cuddle monster.  He often sleeps on my lap when I am drawing or just watching TV.  He loves to go for walks and loves to play in the backyard.  As you probably already know, pitbulls are very strong, and Bumper forgets how strong he can be.  I have been training him, but he still needs a little work.  People are no problem at all, he sees runners and kids playing with no issues.  When he sees another dog, he does want to go play.  He does not get along with cat my fiancé has cats. That's why I am looking for a good home for him. I love him so much.

Fill out a application and her foster family will reach out to you.        I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  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!

Approx. DOB: 11/15/24               Weight as of 5/27/26: 35 Lbs Adoption Fee: $250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness! Pictures are coming soon Skylar was released to us from owners who could no longer care for her.     Skylar has beautiful baby blue eyes. This sweet princess was so scared of us just a few weeks ago but now comes to us, wants us to pet her and love on her.  She is still timid and very shy with new people so she will be going to petco every Saturday to socialize her with lots of new people.      Skylar has done great playing with new dogs. She gets overwhelmed with the larger dogs but is learning to trust them.  Some of them play too rough so she tends to try and avoid those dogs.     Skylar is doing great with her crate training but still needs time, patience and love in helping her to master this skill. Come meet this beautiful pup.    I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  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!
