Meet our 22 newest intakes, named after Metric songs!🥰 Thank you again to all of the dedicated fosters that helped 21 of them not have to stay in the shelter! These babies will be ready to adopt in a week or two, so if you’re interested in adopting submit your adoption application now. (Link to adoption application can be found in comments.)

Join us around 2 pm today for a Facebook live, as we meet our newest intakes. We are expecting close to 20 breeder releases. We will need foster or foster to adopt homes!

We will not hold animals, it is on a first come first served basis. We will have a vet that can do health certificates if you can pick up today. If you live in Kansas, please pm us so we can coordinate getting a health certificate for you. Fosters can be picked up today between 5 pm-7 pm.

Bailey Boo still hasn’t found a foster!😭 She’s an 8 year old rat terrier mix that is in the beginning stages of kidney failure. She did get in a scuffle with her previous fosters super senior dog. Because of the previous fosters personal dogs age, they want their baby to enjoy his golden years as much as possible, so Bailey Boo was returned to the shelter. Bailey has lived with another dog in the home before coming into rescue. She’s incredibly sweet, and covers herself up every single day.🥹

Can you help us find either a foster or an adopter for Bailey Boo by liking, following, commenting, and sharing this post?

On July 4, 2025, while everyone else was celebrating their freedom, David King and I went and picked up the dogs that were living under a porch so they could celebrate the same thing. Having been there previously to asses the situation, I was fully prepared to crawl under the porch to get these babies to safety. Luckily they had already been contained in a pen, making it so much easier! Each of these three babies need either a foster or an adopter. None of them even knows how exciting it is to be secured by a rescue. Right now they are in air conditioning, have soft bedding, and consistent and clean food and water. They really need a home that can help them learn to be a loved member of the family. Each of them does not make a mess in their kennel! Please help us find a foster or forever home for these beautiful souls by liking, following, commenting, and sharing this post.

UPDATE: Ranger was taken in by another shelter today!💞

The need is so great right now. Every day shelter inboxes everywhere are flooded with intake requests. We try our best to get to all of them, but there’s a constant bombardment of animals that will die if we can’t find them help.

Meet Ranger, a 2 year old Heeler mix that was abandoned in rural Missouri. The home owners where he was dumped were kind enough to take him in for a month or so, but if they cannot find placement before the end of this week, they are taking him to be euthanized. He is truly a great dog! I’ve met him- he’s sweet, eager to please, happy, loves being around people, knows some basic commands. Sounds like he does well with other dogs. This family is just at their animal limit and cannot have another. Is there anyone who can be this baby’s hero? He can go to foster or foster to adopt.

Please help us find Ranger’s hero by liking, following, commenting, and sharing this post. Fosters need to live in the Greater Kansas City Metro area.

We received a plea to help 5 dogs staying inside an unairconditioned trailer, escaping through broken windows. They would stay under the porch or trailer attempting to keep cool. Some were very malnourished. The owners no longer lived there, so neighbors were attempting to keep them supplied with fresh water. They were running the streets, seeking shade under cars, struggling to keep cool -yet still so friendly and loving.

These babies have all found foster placement, but are still seeking their forever homes. Please help us find their forever homes by liking, following, commenting, and sharing this post.

Bendi was going to be euthanized. She is dog selective, and really needs to be the only dog in the home. Dogs like this have a really hard time finding homes. Bendi needed a miracle, and it came in the form of a foster home that didn’t have a dog. This foster did have a cat, and Bendi hasn’t ever really been around cats that were aware of. David King and I did take her to cat test her, and she had no interest. However- Bendi was previously adopted out against the advice of the original shelters adoption coordinator, she was set up to fail by her previous adopters. Bendi and the previous adopters dog got in a fight, resulting in the previous adopter getting bit by Bendi when they went to break up the fight. This puts Bendi at great risk of loosing her life in a shelter setting, despite it not being her fault. Because of this, we wanted to use an abundance of caution in setting up Bendi in any home with another animal. A really slow, proper introduction and the rule of 3’s were gone over with the foster to set up every member of the home for success. This is not a criticism against the previous shelter- their processes and procedures didn’t allow it to be denied. Please understand the difference between a municipally operated organization, and a private one in this instance. Thank you to everyone who has been advocating for Bendi. Please continue to pray that her current foster situation works out, and that she has found her forever home. We hope that all the other animals getting euthanized in shelters every day can get the same attention, support, and advocacy that was given to Bendi.
