Story
Meet Holly! At 4 months old and about 23lbs, she's a bright bundle of joy! Holly is great at signaling when she needs to go outside. She may not always hold it if you don't pick up on her signs, but this is improving. She knows basic commands like "sit" and "off" though she sometimes responds to "sit" by laying down, getting confused in her excitement! Holly loves to cuddle and play with her favorite crinkly toys. She's a little wiggly, but that just means she's full of love! While she can be cautious in new environments, shes improving every day and prefers to take her time getting to know new spaces. Her crate is her happy place where she feels safe, secure, and sleeps soundly through the night. Holly adores being outdoors and thrives in the company of other dogs, making her an ideal companion for a home with a furry friend. She's affectionate and eager to bond, though she may take a little time to build trust. Could you be the perfect match for her?

Story
I AM SPONSORED! Happy Valentines Day from Spice, Koal and Zee! Meet Sonic, a charming Australian Shepherd with a heart as vast as the outback. He's a delightful mix of sweet and goofy, always ready to play or enjoy a cuddle session. Sonic's friendly demeanor spreads joy to everyone he meets. His playful spirit and cuddly nature make him an ideal companion for both fun and quiet nights in. Every home deserves a loyal friend like Sonic, who brings laughter, comfort, and unconditional love. Dogs are generally tested with dogs of their size in a group setting, and dog meet-and-greets with the adopter's dog(s) are always encouraged. A cat test may be conducted at the adopter's request but should only be used as a general-purpose screening to rule out overt aggression. We always recommend caution when introducing dogs to cats in the home. Recommendations on the suitability of placement with children by age are based on behavioral observations including energy level and response to body handling. We never recommend leaving young children unsupervised with dogs, and we cannot guarantee the behavior of dogs with children, other pets, or cats. Behavioral observations in the shelter environment should be considered as a snapshot of the behavior of the dog at a given point in time and may not be indicative of a dog's overall mental health. The Joplin Humane Society believes all adopters need to be prepared to invest time and energy into working with their new dog, as animals arrive at the shelter from a variety of situations and scenarios and may have had little to no prior training. Dogs should never be fed together unless it is known that they do not possess resource-guarding tendencies. We always encourage adopters to research the breeds or mixes of breeds before adoption as many can have unique characteristics that may or may not fit into their families. Keep in mind that the transition from the shelter to a home environment is stressful for dogs, and the Rule of 3 should be used as a rule of thumb when introducing a dog to their new surroundings. For the first 3 days, fear, anxiety, and stress levels are at their highest; and dogs may appear lethargic, remain hidden, are easily excitable, or have a loss of appetite. In the next 3 weeks, dogs will be actively developing a routine, and new personality traits may appear as stress levels decrease. During this period, it is recommended that adopters limit the dog's exposure to new people and places as they adjust and keep them in a crate or designated quiet room when left alone. Time outside of the home should be short, and crowds or loud noise should be avoided. After 3 months, a bond has developed between the dogs and their new family, and the animal should appear more comfortable in unfamiliar situations. For more information about this dog or any others at our Shelter, please visit www.joplinhumane.org. We are the Joplin Humane Society in Joplin, Missouri. 417-623-3642.

Story
We are needing to rehome our sweet 4 year old Australian Shepherd. She is is black white and brown. She loves to play and can follow basic commands. She is hosue and kennel trained. We just had a change in our family dynamics with kids going off to college and we can’t give her all the attention she deserves. We would like for her to go to a family who can love on her. She would do amazing with some large space to run around. Gets along with other dogs.

These pups are in Neosho, Missouri too!

Story
*Adoption fee sponsored by Jordan Thompson.*Unfortunately, Cassia is back at FFAA. This sweet young Border Collie mix was found as a stray and brought here a few months ago. Due to her shy nature and how shut down she was in the shelter environment, we were relieved when she was adopted fairly rapidly. The nature of rescue work - receiving animals with mystery backgrounds or completely unknown histories of trauma - means that when we take in an animal as well as adopt them out, often the only information we have about that animal is what we personally have observed in our time at the shelter with them. This, alongside the weeks-to-months that it can take a dog who is as shut down and terrified as Cassia was to decompress and become comfortable in a new environment, means that sometimes a dog's behavior can be more complex than it appeared at surface level or that the dog they become once they are secure is no longer a match for the family who chose them. To everyone's sorrow, including the family that loves her but was unable to meet her needs, this was the case with Cassia. Cassia's interpersonal skills when she is with her own family are stellar. She adored the 3 children that she lived with (ages 4-7) and gladly wrestled and romped with them. Her love for her kiddos, her family, and her space is fierce. She's learned so much in her time away: Sit, Lay down, Leave it, Come, Shake, Touch, Heel, and Fetch. She enjoys everything from balls, stuffed animals, and chew toys, and she's a big fan of games that include rolling around, chasing toys, and getting to practice her natural herding talents. Water - specifically time at the creek - is one of her favorite locations and activities. Cassia's life before she joined the FFAA family is a mystery. However, because of the way she reacts to sudden movements, reaching hands, and her extreme timidity overall, it is safe to assume that whatever happened to her in her past left her with emotional and mental scars even if she is healthy physically. It takes her so long to feel safe in a new environment that once she feels at home, she guards that territory with her life, not understanding that strangers can be friends too. When searching for her next placement, a household that's busy or sees a lot of vistors is likely not going to be the best placement for this sensitive soul. Our ideal placement would have someone that is well acquainted in working with dogs that are insecure, uncertain, afraid, and that have tendencies to react negatively to outside stimulus that may trigger those buried traumas. Cassia has a very difficult time at the shelter. She shuts down to the degree that even basic tenets of animal care are a struggle - she loses interest in food and she sometimes is so afraid she cannot walk. Even if we don't find her future perfect fit immediately, we'd love to find a short or longterm foster placement for her so that she can continue to work on her social skills, gain confidence, and be far away from the hustle, bustle, and volume of the kennels. Volunteers who will come and sit with her and help her feel safer and loved are also appreciated.If you'd like to discuss Cassia's needs, shoot adopt.ffaa@gmail.com an email or call the shelter at (417) 592-2512 - if we don't pick up or are closed, just leave a voicemail and we'll respond to you as soon as someone is available.Our hours: Closed Monday-Tuesday. Open Wednesday-Friday 12-7, Saturday-Sunday 10-4.
