Our 4 beautifully made babes are ready to find their forever homes! 💕

These four kiddos have a rare superhero ability. They are all blind and deaf, but use their sense of smell and feeling the vibrations to get around just fine!

We are looking for homes for each of them. They will require some adjustments and training to fully learn what life is about. Having a blind and deaf pup is not for everyone, but we know these kiddos will hit the jackpot with their new homes. 🩷

🎆It's only Tuesday and we are starting to hear fireworks everywhere!🎆

Here are 5 QUICK TIPS to help you keep your pet safe this week.
1️⃣ Make sure your pet is microchipped AND the ownership information is up to date. If you are unsure if your pet is chipped you can take them to any shelter or vet clinic to have them scanned. We offer microchipping (no appointment necessary) for $30.00 seven days a week.

2️⃣ Make sure your pet has a collar AND an I.D. tag with your contact information. We have an amazing tag engraver with fun tags available for purchase. PRO TIP: Don't put your address on the I.D. tag. We recommend putting "Scan Me, I'm Microchipped" on the tag. That way you can keep your personal information safe.

3️⃣ If your pet struggles with anxiety or stressful situations, call your vet now to get a refill of calming meds. If this is the first time requesting medications, call now to get your appointment. PRO TIP: Most veterinary clinics (including ours) will be CLOSED on the 4th, so call TODAY!

4️⃣ Create a safe space (or den) for your pet(s) for the weekend. Use a kennel with a soft bed, enrichment toys, you can use calming scents in a diffuser, play soft music, pull the curtains closed. This will help keep them calm and comfortable. PRO TIP: If you are having people over to your house, put a sign on the door that says, "Scared Pet, Please Leave Door Closed"

5️⃣ Get a plan AHEAD of time in the event your pet escapes. Write down your local animal shelters, animal control agencies, and emergency vet clinics with their phone numbers and addresses. That way, if something were to happen, you don't have to panic trying to figure out where to go.

Help us get these 5 safety tips out to our Kansas City pet parents!

Lenny came to us after being rescued from living on the streets. They removed 23 pounds of matted fur before he got to us. He was skin and bones. 💔

Now, after being in foster and getting the proper nutrition, he’s put on weight and has been cleared for adoption!

If you know anything about OES’s (Old English Sheepdog) you know they are the ULTIMATE Velcro dog. He needs to be your shadow. Period. He’s the sweetest boy, still puppy-like in his temperament, prefers dogs his size (smaller dogs bring out the herding mentality), and is a pure lover boy. Can you all help us find him a perfect home?! 🙏

If you’re interested in adopting please email [email protected]

Let’s find Lenny a PAW-some home!!🏠🩷
