Megan's Paws & Claws - City of Smithville, Missouri Dog Pound

People want to argue that dogs like Great Pyrenees and Huskies can withstand these temperatures, but they are wrong. This guy loves being outside, but the snow plus the extreme cold is just too much for his paws. FORCE YOUR DOGS INSIDE! Be a good owner and bring them in or put them in the barn where they can get out of the snow, at least. This guy will be available for adoption on Monday. We believe he's been an outdoor dog in the past, working on a farm. If you're interested in meeting him, please let us know. He's a sweetheart, but he is VERY stubborn and hates being locked up. If you know the GP breed, you know they like to be free and often wander. We will require he be adopted to someone with fenced property to keep him safe and secure as well as at least a barn where he can get out of weather. We don't typically adopt dogs to be outdoor pets, but he doesn't seem to be potty trained and could be destructive if he wants to escape. If you need a good protective farm dog, please reach out.

BRING YOUR PETS INSIDE!! HAVE A PLACE FOR YOUR OUTDOOR DOGS TO GO OUT OF THE WEATHER! This dog loves the snow, but his paws are freezing within a few minutes of running in the snow. Of course, he's stubborn as can be and doesn't want to go in, but I made him! These temps are no joke! Please limit your pets time outside and go outside with them! If no yard, take them on a leash! Do not risk them getting loose and possibly freezing to death.

❤️Adopt Frank the Tank!❤️ Frank is doing wonderful at his foster home and loves them very much. He enjoys meeting new people and loved the 10 year old he met this weekend! He is a 7+ year old guy who is goofy and and gentle, and is 80.5lbs. We still haven't tested him with another dog, but if you have a dog who you know for certains likes other dogs, we can test him with them. He does well in the car and enjoys going to pup cups and seems to love the smell of coffee when they roll up to the coffee trailer. 😆 He has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Please call us if you're interested in meetinf him! 816-532-0577 #fyp ##adoptdontshop #kansascity #smithvillemo #pitbull https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2Y2q8tx/

❤️ADOPT FRANK THE TANK!❤️ Frank is very much a kids' dog! He LOVED having a 10 year old around last night! He would follow her everywhere she went and was always by her side. So, if you have kids, he will be best friends with them as long as they are sweet to him back! He did jump up on her, trying to play so he could knock little kiddos down. He just wanted to give kisses and try to get to her scrunchie for some reason. Still not known how he is with other dogs. If you have a dog, we can test with them to see how he does. Our fear is he may have PTSD from being attacked before we found him. If he isn't adopted before this coming Friday (Jan 31st), his adoption will be put on hold and he won't be able to be adopted until I get back to work from vacation on Feb 13th. Another issue we have coming up is his foster parents have to leave town at the end of Feburary, which means, if we don't find another foster home, he will have to come stay at the pound. He has been so spoiled living in the home, so we are hoping to find him a forever home before then OR another foster home. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Frank the Tank, please reach out to us. 816-532-0577

🐾ADOPT FRANK THE TANK!!🐾 Somebody has the zoomies!!! 🤣🐾 Please, someone adopt this guy!!

🐾❤️ADOPT FRANK THE TANK❤️🐾 ****SOUND UP**** 🤣🤣🤣 More of his adorable personality is coming out each day, and we can't wait to share it with everyone! He ❤️ 's to help with laundry! He sneaks in, grabs something out of the basket, and makes a run for it! I told them I needed to see that video! 😆 He hasn't marked in the house since Tuesday, so that is definitely getting better, thankfully! They were having the issue of him lifting his leg on furniture as soon as he would finish eating, but now he just lays down on his bed instead. Great news!! He still dreads the thought of going outside in the cold. We have a cute video of him not wanting to go out last night before bed. He eventually did, but it was a lot of sad, pitiful stares at his foster dad and mom before he reluctantly stepped out of the doorway. He has come a long way since we first met him on January 1st. Please share his posts to find him a new home! He is 7+ years old, 75 lbs, pitbull mix, sweet and goofy, unsure how he is with other dogs, cats, or kids. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Give us a call if you are interested in Frank at 816-532-0577.

The calm before the game... Go Chiefs!

🐾HALO UPDATE!!🐾 Remember Halo? Well, she is doing wonderful at her forever home! A couple of days ago, her mom reached out to us to see if we and her former foster parents, Trish and Jamie, would like to visit her to say goodbye because she is moving to Florida!! Of course, we said yes and scheduled for this afternoon! Needless to say, she was happy to see them! 😍 I hope they have good A/C at their new house in Florida because Halo is going to need it! 😆 Happy tails sweet baby Halo! We ❤️ you! Have a safe trip to you and your family!!

Frank the Tank REALLY hates that he has to pee outdoors! He is not a fan. 😜 Count how many stretches he does during this video. 😆 He is available for adoption! Please message here or call us at 816-532-0577 if you want to meet him!

❤️ADOPT FRANK THE TANK!❤️ After 2 weeks, our boy is finally up for adoption! January 1st was a "ruff" day for Frank, being found shortly after being in a dog fight, but as you can tell from today's video, he has come such a long way! I went by to visit him today, and he was excited to see me. Tail wags, ears perked up and trotted up to me! He hates the cold and the snow, so he isn't a fan going outside right now, but he will potty outside when he goes out. The only real issue they've seen with him is that every time after he eats, he will lift his leg and mark before they can get him outside. Other than that, he holds it all night and while they are gone. So, he may need to some training on that. He has been chewing on blankets and pillows. He hasn't ripped them at all, but he just likes to chew on soft things, so that may be a behavior issue coming out as he's feeling better. He's pretty laid back and loves his people to pieces. He is a very loveable boy just looking for a forever home. Best guess is he is a pitbull mix who is 7+ years old who enjoys car rides! He is still taking medication, so if he is adopted before it's finished, the new owners will have to continue it until it's gone. We unfortunately haven't tested him with another dog. There aren't any other dogs at the foster home and they haven't had the chance to take him for walks at the lake like they normally would. So, if you have another dog, and you are really interested in him, we would have to test them together first. We don't know how he is with kids either. If you have kids, we recommend bringing them with you or if I have any volunteer kiddos, please let me know, and we can figure out a plan to get together. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting him, please call us at 816-532-0577 or send us a message here to schedule a time to meet him.

We named this little girl Mariah and we haven't heard from any owners. She is scheduled for her spay and vaccines on Monday morning, so after that, we will post her up for adoption. We have learned she needs a home without little kids. She is VERY nervous around little ones. Haven't had a chance to test with other dogs or cats.
