Peewee was saved by another rescue when he found himself in a high kill pound. He’s a 2 years old Chihuahua mix, that weighs 18 pounds. He has the perfect subtle head tilt, quietly pleading eyes, and slight outward rotation of his paws. It must be so overwhelming to find yourself in a shelter with 149 other dogs, barking incessantly, many which are several times your size. No hidey hole to retreat into, in an effort to block out the harsh world around you. Nobody’s lap to burrow into for comfort and reassurance. A foster home would allow Peewee to fully blossom into himself, and let his personality shine.

If you’re interested in opening up your heart and home to Peewee, please text 816-935-2111. He is not in our care yet, but can arrive on the 25th if we can find foster. Fosters must live within an hour of Blue Springs, Missouri and need to be able to pick up between 5-7 pm Sunday October 25th. (Adopters can live anywhere!)

Since people have been asking for an update on Oscar… left for foster. The individual wanted to adopt Oscar, but we thought fostering would be a good way to make sure that Oscar is a good fit. As we all know, he’s rather persnickety. Beth spoke to the person at great length about Oscar’s special needs. No men in the home, no children, no other pets. The person agreed, and indicated they understood. Not disclosed in this conversation was there’s a boyfriend and a cat that live in the residence. Needless to say, 3 hours later Oscar was back at the shelter. 😑 Oscar is still searching for his ideal home. Women only, no kids, no pets. No joking. He doesn’t have these requirements because we’re gatekeeping. He has them because those are the boundaries Oscar has expressed very clearly to us.

Finn got adopted, and every member of the family is so excited to welcome him in. Happy life little guy! 🎉❤️

Sparkle has big doe eyes, and is eager to find a family she’s never had before. She found herself in a high kill pound, where she was saved by another rescue. She’s a 5 months old Heeler mix, and currently weighs 18.3 pounds. She dreams of a yard to run around in, and a person to play with. She is a typical happy puppy, gets along with other dogs, and hasn’t crossed paths with a cat. If we can find a foster home, she can be transferred to us. If you’re interested in opening up your heart and home to Sparkle, please text 816-935-2111. She is not in our care yet, but can arrive on the 25th if we can find foster. Fosters must live within an hour of Blue Springs, Missouri and need to be able to pick up between 5-7 pm Sunday October 25th. (Adopters can live anywhere!)

Ayhman found a foster home! And in just a short time there, she has received so much! Comfort, love, and support. A gentle reassuring embraces. The ability to finally be able to turn off and get some much needed rest. Companionship that has brought a smile to her face. Encouragement to explore the furniture. Offerings of her own soft space to nestle into. The ability to enjoy grass and sunshine leisurely. And while none of it is anything particularly extraordinary, it is extraordinarily impactful for Ayhman. Each of these little things adds up to show her how different her life can look. They give her hope and purpose. By saying yes, fosters changed Ayhmans world as she knows it. Ayhman is still looking for a forever home. If you’re interested in adding Ayhman to your family, please submit an adoption application (link in comments).

Do you like guys that are tall, dark, and handsome? Not only is Tooter easy on the eyes but he also listens well, follows commands, and is available! He will be a loyal companion that won’t break your heart!

But Tooters looks and charm have not been that helpful to him as he enters his golden years. In this past year he has escaped death not once, but twice! At the end of January, he found himself in a high kill pound. Luckily he was saved by another rescue before it was too late. In the beginning of February it was discovered he was heartworm positive. He has completed the heartworm treatment, and has a new lease on life! Tooter knows basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘come.’ He walks in a heel position, and knows to kennel. He is an easy going guy that truly just wants to be by your side. Bonus: he poses wonderfully for pictures!

Tooter is a 6 years young shepherd mix of sorts, neutered, and weighs 56 pounds. He gets along well with other dogs, when introduced properly. He has ignored cats when introduced to them at the shelter. Tooter can be transferred to us if we can find a foster or foster to adopt home for him. We are really hoping that we can help get him out of a shelter setting and into his forever home before he comes up on his year anniversary in a shelter. 😞

If you’re interested in opening up your heart and home to Tooter, please text 816-935-2111. He is not in our care yet, but can arrive on the 25th if we can find foster. Fosters must live within an hour of Blue Springs, Missouri and need to be able to pick up between 5-7 pm Sunday October 25th. (Adopters can live anywhere!)

5 little 5 weeks old Aussie mix puppies were found running around as strays. After they were picked up by an animal control, they were in a race against time so they did not get euthanized. Yes, you read that right. They would have been euthanized at 5 weeks old, to create space. This occurs in America every single day. 😭 I will never be able to wrap my brain around how our society got to a place where we kill innocent babies due to lack of space. Luckily, another rescue saved them before it was too late! They’ve been bathed to help treat their flea infestation, and will also get preventatives and capstar. That rescue would like to transfer them to us, in order for us to be able to take them, we have to find foster first. Because they are so young, they need to go in pairs (2 and 3). There are 2 females, and 3 males. It looks like at least 2 have iris coloboma’s - one of which is suspected to be both blind and deaf (Billy).

If you’re interested in opening up your heart and home to one of these babies, please text 816-935-2111. They are not in our care yet, but can arrive on the 25th if we can find fosters. Fosters must live within an hour of Blue Springs, Missouri and need to be able to pick up between 5-7 pm Sunday October 25th. (Adopters can live anywhere!)
