Story
Buddy was found as a stray in January of this year. The codes enforcement called and asked if I could take him as they did not want him in an outside kennel because it is cold here in Kansas during the winter. I offered to take him as I had an extra kennel at the house so Buddy came to stay with me. Buddy had clearly been thrown out of a vehicle or something as he was unable to sit down very easily and he was scraped up pretty bad and underweight. When I got Buddy he was already neutered so I am not sure why he was dumped. Buddy is extremely sweet but also likes to play rough. He had two altercations with my oldest dog when I first got him but they have not had any problems since. Buddy is strong and lean and goofy! I do believe he has some arthritis from when he was dumped, he still sits down slowly and to the side and has some leg tremors but it doesn't keep him from running and playing.

HOPPER HAS NO ADOPTION FEE THANKS TO HIS AMAZING SPONSOR: LORI WILBURN! He has been altered (spayed/neutered), microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. Hopper is a very shy boy, when he was just 5 months old he and his litter mates were dumped into a river system. Our staff spent 2 days rescuing them all and they have been on a road to recovery since. Hopper does well with other dogs and is looking for a long-term foster-to-adopt home so he can learn to trust and love others. **Interested adopters MUST bring their own dog(s) that your new canine will be living with at your household.

Story
From those sweet eyes to that goofy smile, Diesel loves to catch everyone's attention! He loves to play with people, knows how to sit on command, and would love to find his family this year as he's been waiting for over 1,000 days here at our shelter!! He's been to multiple adoption events, so we don't understand why this sweet guy continues to be passed by. His only restriction is that he is looking for a home with no other animals. He's does great on pack walks but after not having a home for years, he gets very attached to his family members and doesn't like to share with other animals when inside a home. He has NO ADOPTION FEE thanks to his sponsor. Diesel has already been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and is up to date on vaccinations so this sweet boy is all ready to go! **Interested adopters MUST bring their own dog(s) that your new canine will be living with at your household.
