PEEKABOO! 😂
❤️ADOPT BUSTER!❤️

Buster had to be trapped to get him to safety, but he is now learning to trust again. He's had a "ruff" first year of his life, but all that is in the past, and he is becoming more and more brave as the days go by. He's super sweet and affectionate but needs patient people to sit with him until he learns to trust them. He loves going for walks and being outdoors, but he also would enjoy a comfy sofa or bed to cuddle next to his favorite humans. We think another young dog to teach him the ropes on how to be a dog would be great, and we don't know how he is with cats or kids yet.
Sweetheart of a boy just learning how to live this life with trust and happiness.

He's been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you're interested in meeting him, give us a call at 816-532-0577.

Amazing!

Introducing the
Puppy Bow Band! 🐶
Let's Rock'nRoll! 🎸🥁

Adopt Buster and Tucker! ❤️

Buster the Drummer will be available on Monday! He is very shy at first, but comes around and wants all the pets you can give! We think another young dog in the home to teach him how to "Dog", would be beneficial to him. Unknown on cats and kids.
Around a year old, sweet, loving and handsome!
Chick's dig drummers, right?

Tucker the Rockstar is still looking for a furever home!
He is so sweet and loving! 4 years old. He loves all humans he meets and ignores other dogs. He wants to chase cats, though.
Must have a large fenced yard or property. His breed is known to wander if given the opportunity. He loves being outside but wants to live in a house, laying on a dog bed next to your bed.
He's such a sweet guy just looking for his forever home! Somebody give him a chance!
He is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment, and the new owner will be responsible for giving his oral meds and getting him to vet appts. The majority of the treatment will be paid for up to day 91 of treatment. After the 91st day, the owner will be responsible for the 120 day check-up appt and day 365 HW test to verify he is HW negative.
He has been neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go home!

If interested in meeting them, give us a call to set up an appt at 816-532-0577.

What would a full-time animal control program look like?

Implementing a full-time Animal Control Program in Smithville would involve hiring a dedicated Animal Control Officer (ACO) trained in various aspects of animal management and community safety. This initiative is among the key enhancements proposed under Proposition P, a ballot measure on the April 8, 2025, that would fund public safety improvements in our community.

Key Components of the Proposed Program:
1. Enforcement: The ACO would enforce local pet licensing laws and address cases of animal neglect and abuse, ensuring compliance with Smithville's regulations.
2. Animal Care: Responsibilities include responding to service calls, providing daily care for animals at the city's pound—Megan's Paws & Claws—and coordinating necessary medical treatments.
3. Trap-Neuter-Release Program: Implementing humane strategies to manage and reduce the feral cat population, reducing overpopulation and associated issues.
4. Educational Outreach: Conducting community programs to educate residents on responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.
5. Wildlife Management: Addressing local wildlife concerns, ensuring safe coexistence between residents and wildlife, and handling situations that may pose risks to public safety.
6. Emergency Assistance: Participating in disaster response efforts, particularly in evacuating and caring for animals during emergencies, thereby supporting both animal and human safety.
7. Support to Law Enforcement: Assisting in cases where animals are involved in legal matters or emergencies, providing expertise to the police department as needed.

If Propostion P is approved by voters, the City of Smithville would allocate funds for this comprehensive Animal Control Program, reflecting a commitment to the well-being and both animals and residents.
