❤️ Volunteer Shoutout 🗣️

Today we are thankful for Emily Seaman! Emily not only opens her home to animals in need as a foster, but is also one of our foster liaisons! Being a liaison means Emily takes new fosters under her wing as they learn the ropes and answers any questions they may have 🫶🏼 People like her keep our rescue running 🐶

From all of us here at MSC, THANK YOU Emily! ❣️

🎈FINAL DAY🚨

🧬 Guess the DNA Fundraiser - Pixel Edition 🐶

We are about to wrap up our second round of the Guess the DNA fundraiser! Entries must be in by 6pm tonight ⏰

As a reminder, here’s how it works:
- Put your guess for the top THREE breeds in the comments
- Send in your $5 entry fee via mscrescue.org/donate/
- Wait and see if your guess hits the mark!

🎁 WINNERS of each round will receive a free nail trim and automatically be entered into a drawing for the privilege of name a litter of puppies or kittens from our organization 🐶🐱

To win a round you must complete an entry with all three top breeds correct! 🥇The winner will then be drawn from the names of those with correct guesses. Each round will accept entries for one calendar week 📆 There will be SIX rounds.

A handful of our shelter guests have been lucky enough to score a personal DNA test to find out their specific breed(s) 🧬 This not only gives us insight to their genetic history, but also lets us better match them to their forever family ❤️

We look forward to seeing your guesses for Pixel’s top three breeds in the comments ⤵️🎉

Meet Yin! ☯️

With a face like that, how is Gunner still looking for his people 😱

Hi there, I am Gunner- it is a pleasure to meet you! I am a 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who was lost on the streets, that is how I ended up at MSC ☹️ No one ever came from me, so now the nice folks of MSC are trying to help me find a new family who will love me forever! ❤️

I am only 50lbs, which makes me the perfect pocket pitty 😍 I really enjoy being around people and playing outside. I would love to go everywhere with you if I could. Cuddling on the couch and giving you kisses are some of my favorite things to do 😚 I'd love to be the only doggo in your life! No other dogs, cats, or kids, please.

If you’d like to meet me, fill out an application at mscrescue.org/adopt/ ❣️

Meet Hawthorn! 🐱

This kitty is a lovebug and will roll over to show you his belly as a greeting while rubbing his head against your hands 🥰 When he's not loving on you, he is extremely playful, enoying toys of all kinds. He is great with other cats, and would likely do good with dogs with a proper introduction 🐶

If Hawthorne seems like a good fit for your home, meet him at Second Cup Cat Cafe or fill out an application at mscrescue.org/adopt/ ❣️

If you need some energy in your life, Tux is the perfect furry friend for you! 🎉

Like most cats, Tux likes naps, but what he likes more than that is exploring 🕵🏻‍♂️ He'll follow you around to see what you're doing, rubbing up against your legs and looking up at you with his big green eyes as if to say "let me help!" 😍 He is good with other cats, and would likely get along with dogs with a proper introduction.

You can meet this spunky kitty at Second Cup Cafe in Olathe or fill out an application at mscrescue.org/adopt/ ❣️

If you want a major lovebug, Trevor is your man! 😍

This big guy is extremely affectionate and loves to be carried around 🥰 He will crawl in your lap for attention and stay there as long as you'll let him! Trevor is a very patient cat, making a great companion for a family with young kids 🫶🏼 He gets along with other cats and would likely get along with dogs with a proper introduction.

Trevor is 10 months old, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered 😊 If you’d like to meet him, please fill out an application at mscrescue.org/adopt/ or come see him at Second Cup Cat Cafe in Olathe ❣️

Pocket-sized Pixel is looking for his people 👾

Pixel is a sweet 33 pound boy ❣️ He can be a little shy at first but then he's happy to be out on an adventure. He knows sit and is easy to walk. He's a great size and much smaller than he looks in pictures 🥰

Pixel is also our current focus for our Guess the DNA Fundraiser! If you’d like to participate, check out the fundraiser here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DPNpr7oTg/?mibextid=WC7FNe 🧬
