Story
My name is Milly, and I am looking for a new home! My old family lost their home to foreclosure and can no longer take care of me, but I have a lot of love to give and want to find a new home soon. I am 1 1/2 years old and 55 pounds; I am a mix, so I don’t know my full history, but I got a clean bill of health from the vet. I am very energetic and do well with kids and other dogs (large dogs are best, little dogs are scary). I like to have lots of open room to play so a big back yard would be great. I am house trained and fully vaccinated so please call my foster mom and set up a meeting with me today!

Story
2 3/4 year old Red is a Heeler mix of some type and this bit is as active and smart as you would expect. Hr is reported to be fully house trained and loves to play with toys of every type. This fun loving boy is hoping for an adopter who lives to go for walks and interact with him as a true companion. Like all of our pups, he would like to meet any potential canine siblings before heading home to make sure that it’s a good match. He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.

Story
We show our dogs by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting Merlin, please fill out our online application at kcpaws.org. Merlin's adoption fee is $350. Please read bio before applying! Meet Merlin. This young man has had a rough go of it at just 9 months old. Merlin came to us as a commercial breeder release and when we got him at 6 months old, he had never been handled by humans. As a result, he is very distrusting of humans and requires a lot of patience and time to adjust to new people. Becuase of this, we would really like to find a well-equipped foster who can help him learn how to be a house pet, so he can find his furever home. Merlin is very dog friendly and because he is more comfortable with dogs than humans, we are requiring that he go to a home with at least one other canine. This will help set him up for success. He will also need a home with a secure fenced in yard, as he can be a bit of a flight risk, and he will need a home with no small children. Merlin has the potential to be an amazing companion, he just needs someone who will give him the time he needs to adjustJanuary 24, 2025, 6:59 pm
