Story
SHE COMES WITH SUPPLIES!! (Large dog kennels, harness/leash, toys, etc.) In 2022, my husband and I found Stella on the side of a county road by herself. We rolled down the window of our car to see if she was okay. She wasted no time to jump right into the car with us. She was quite friendly and did not mind coming home with us. We searched the area for anyone missing a dog and even took her to the vet to check for a microchip. But, we only found that Stella had hookworms and scars on her legs. Ever since, we've had her as a part of our family. She is approximately 2 years old and FULL of endless energy! Not to mention, toys are a MUST for her obsession with them! An active lifestyle and plenty of room to run is a perfect home for her! Two words to describe Stella would be loving and energetic!

Story
We don't want to, but think it is best to rehome Zeke due to the fact we are about to have our 3rd baby and don't have time to give him the love and attention he deserves. He is a gentle giant that has a huge heart and just wants to be loved on. He has been nothing short of amazing for our family and truly don't want to see him go but know it isn't fair to keep him.

Story
Hii! My name is Jillian Faye! I had my 7th birthday, on January 14. I need lots of love and napping space. I’m a very relaxed doggie. I need to stay inside most of the time, but I will let you know, if I need to go out. I need a fenced yard or you will have to take me out on a lead to potty. My mom has always taken the best care of me. I have had my Proheart 12 shot this year to protect me from heartworms. I don’t have any allergies! I do need to go to the groomer sometimes. But my coat is wavy and not tight curls I like to nap in a corner. You can leave me to go work or play. I am not an anxious girl. All I want is a loving home with people who really care about me.

Pittsburg, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
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.
