Adopt Rescue Foster

06/01/2025

Happy 2025 everyone! We would like to take a minute to introduce you to our two newest additions Bowser and Frankie!

Bowser is an approximate 4 month old terrier mix. We are thinking maybe Jack Russell and Corgi? Honestly we have no idea. He's short and stubby, with wirey fur. And absooooolutely adorable!

And Frankie! He is approximately 7 months old, and weighs around 4-5 pounds. We were told he's a shorkipoo(shih Tzu, Yorkie, and poodle). Frankie is not a fan of all this snow! 😄

Both are dog, kid, cat friendly! If you are interested in adopting, you can apply at the link below:

We hear you fellow dog owners & fosters! Together we share this labor of love!

Bubbly Blondie requires your attention please! She wants people to know that just because she's broken hearted, she will love you with her whole heart for as long as she has.

Blondie is a sassy yet sweet girl. She is a redheaded spitfire! She does not like cats, and can be dog selective. She prefers the company of male dogs. The bigger, the better, as she likes to rough house and tumble around with them. Who doesn't love it when the fellas chase us?

Blondie does have cardiac issues. She has been diagnosed with multiple heart issues. She has a grade 5-6 heart murmur. She has a hole in the septum of her heart, and pulmonary stenosis. She will need visits to the cardiologist for medication adjustments and any testing they recommend. We do not know how often she will need to see the cardiologist, visit frequency will be recommended by the the vet. As of right now, surgery is not an option. Because of this, she will not be spayed, and will be adopted with a spay contract should she ever need to go under anesthesia for anything.

We are hoping there is a home out there for her that is willing to take on her needs. She deserves to be loved and doted on. She has so so much love to give, and desperately wants a family to share it with.

We understand not every home is suitable for her, but please share her to your page. Never know who may see it and fall in love with her.

Lola made a wish to find her forever family this holiday season 💝 Help us make her wish come true!

Lola is a 2 year old lab/boxer mix that was dumped in the country with one of her six week old puppies. Her puppy found a family and now it's Lola's turn! Lola is ~50lbs; dog, cat and kid friendly; and potty, leash, and crate trained. Lola is very calm for her age and loves to cuddle, play fetch and go on walks.

Lola’s foster mom says she is an amazing dog that would do fantastic with any family. She’s basically a small dog in a big dog body. Easy to handle and gets along with all 💚❤️🎁

Lola’s adoption profile and a link to the adoption application can be found here:

💘Pretty Mama Alert💘

Almost one year after being rescued from a horrible cruelty situation, Marble is STILL looking for her forever family. All of her puppies were adopted and we’re hoping to find this deserving pup her forever home for 2025.

Marble is truly the sweetest dog you will ever meet. She loves to cuddle, smile, and stare deep into your eyes while you tell her how pretty and perfect she is 🩷 Marble loves to fetch, go on walks, go for car rides, wear outfits (especially the new coat she’s wearing in these pictures), romp around with her shiba and husky foster siblings, and even cuddle up on the couch under a blanket in front of the tv.

Marble is a small girl that stands less than 2 feet tall from head to toe. She is a 4 year old Catahoula/Heeler/every dog breed under the sun mix that is dog, cat, and kid friendly; potty, leash and crate trained; and extremely treat and praise motivated.

More info on Marble’s background as well her adoption profile can be found here:

Blondie is a 5 month old Shiba Inu. She was a breeder release. She is a sassy yet sweet girl. She does need to be the only pet in the home. She does not like cats, and can be dog selective. Therefore, to keep everyone safe, we will not place her in a home with other animals.

It is important that any potential applicants know that she has been diagnosed with a multiple heart issues. She has a grade 5-6 heart murmur. She has a hole in the septum of her heart, and pulmonary stenosis. She will need routine visits to the cardiologist. We simply cannot give any adopter any guarantees on how long she will live, or how often she will need to see the cardiologist. Part of her cardiologist visit will probably require an EKG/Echo to monitor her cardiac progression. As of right now, surgery is not an option. Because of this, she will not be spayed, and will be adopted with a spay contract should she ever need to go under anesthesia for anything.

For right now, the cardiologist said to let her live her life as a happy playful puppy. We are hoping there is a home out there for her that is willing to take on her needs. She deserves to be loved and doted on, even if her life may be shortened by this.

Walter White is still waiting for his Furever! This boy went absolutely bonkers in the snow yesterday.....loved it so very much! Played forever then crashed out hard!

Blondie update! She went for her echo out at MU on Tuesday. Not such great news for our fiesty little girl. She has two congenital issues with her heart.

The first is she has a 4.5mm hole in the septum of her heart. And the second issue is she has pulmonary stenosis. Because she has two different issues, she is not a surgical candidate. She was placed on medication to help with the pressures in her heart caused by the stenosis. We are hoping they will help.

At this point in time, we do not know her prognosis. The medication could help, or it may not. She will need a follow up echo in 6 months to see it's progression.

For right now, the cardiologist said to let her live her life as a happy playful puppy. We are hoping there is a home out there for her that is willing to take on her needs, as she will need follow ups with the cardiologist. She deserves to be loved and doted on, even if her life may be shortened by this.

Blondie says thank you to everyone for sharing and donating to help get answers! If you would like to donate towards her ongoing care, you can donate via FB, Paypal(ARFCassCo), Venmo(AdoptRescueFoster), or text ARFC to 89871.

Our longest longtimer, Finley! We pulled Finley from a small shelter in southern MO over 3 years ago. And he's been patiently waiting for his forever home since then. He's had zero interest!

Fin is a 4 year old border collie mix with a lot of border collie energy! He’s dog friendly with a proper introduction, but would also be okay as an only pet. He loves walks and playing fetch. Finley is potty and kennel trained and knows basic commands. He is super smart, and loves to show off just how smart he is!

Due to his energy, he will do best in a home without small children. He does have food allergies, and requires medication to keep them at bay.

Fin is our longest foster resident! This sweet boy has been waiting since 2021 to find his forever family. Help us find Finley a family to finally call his own!

Vinny!

Ever wanted a labradoodle but don't want to go thru the puppy phase? Here's your chance!

We pulled Vinny hours before he was set to be euthanized in an overcrowded shelter in TX. He's a very sweet boy, very much your typical doodle and has lots of energy.

He loves everyone he meets. He plays well with other dogs after a proper introduction. He can be a bit timid of other dogs at first, but once he knows they won't hurt him, he's good to run and play! He is house and kennel trained. He loves treats, and food. He loves car rides, and is obsessed with overhead bridges and signs, and will tell you all about them.

He does have some leash reactivity that he is working on. Any potential adopter would need to continue to work on this with him if you plan to take walks.

His adoption fee is 400$. This covers cost of neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, heartworm test, 3 rounds of distemper/parvo vaccine, 2 rounds of leptospirosis vaccine, dewormer, bordetella vaccine, and flea/tick heartworm prevention.

This is Ronnie. He has been with us for most of his life. He came to us in September of 2023 as a puppy, and is now over a year old. We just don't understand why no one wants him. He's so sweet, and cute, and look at that smile! He goes to all of the events, meets lots of people and other dogs, but for some reason he just keeps getting over looked.

He does amazing with the fosters 8 year old kid. He is curious, but mostly ignores the cat, and has been doing very well on the leash. He's been working on commands (sit/stay/paw/come) and does good for the most part. Huge, gentle lovebug and will thrive growing up with kids.

Ronnie is a good boy who also does great with other dogs! His sister found her forever home and his thriving with her family…let give this boy his happy story too!!!

💜🤍💜Adopt Ahsoka💜🤍💜

Ahsoka had at least two litters and eventually found herself in a small shelter (her last litter of puppies are in our rescue.) She was on the euthanasia list. All it would take is one dog to come in and her life would be over. We worked to find her a foster so her precious life wouldn’t end because she had no place to go.

Now, Ahsoka is in a foster home! You would never know she has been through so much. She is just the sweetest and so smart. She’s working on gaining weight and loves to eat, but takes treats gently from your hand.

She ADORES her foster’s 8 year old daughter and knows to be gentle when they play. She’s good with other dogs too and couldn’t care less about cats.
She’s working on getting more comfortable in the car and learning where her place to sit is. She is kennel and potty trained and walks well on a leash.

Her adoption fee is 300$. This covers cost of spay, microchip, rabies vaccine, 3 rounds of distemper/parvo vaccine, rabies vaccine, 2 rounds of leptospirosis vaccine, dewormer, bordetella vaccine, and she's been on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Deuce is the definition of a gentle giant! He may look intimidating, but his foster mom promises the worst thing he will do is steal your warm spot on the couch when you get up! 🥹

Deuce loves to play fetch and even brings the ball back! He shows zero signs of food aggression and loves the company of other dogs! He tries to play with the family cats, but he has the attention span is of a gnat and within 3 seconds he’s off on another adventure!!

Deuce is an all around incredible dog who is just waiting for his furever family to give him all the loves and happy tails!

His adoption fee is 300$. This covers cost of neuter, microchip, heartworm test, rabies vaccine, 3 rounds of distemper/parvo vaccine, bordetella vaccine, 2 rounds of leptospirosis vaccine, and he's been on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Meet Argus! This super sweet boy is a 6 month old great dane who is looking for his forever home. He can be timid at first, as he came from a commercial breeder, but he wants nothing but love and attention. He gives the best cuddles, and follows his fosters everywhere. He loves pig ears, chicken feet, and turkey. He is house and kennel trained. He is learning about the outside world, does okay on a leash but does need reassurance that it's okay. Once he gets going on his walk, he settles into a nice rhythm and enjoys all the sights and smells.

He is dog friendly, and would love a confident peer dog to show him the ropes. He would do best in a home without small children, as his size could easily hurt a small child when he's running and bouncing around.

His adoption fee is 400$. This covers cost of neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, 4 rounds of distemper/parvo, 2 rounds of leptospirosis vaccine, multiple rounds of dewormer, bordetella vaccine, and has been on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Little Pearl is wondering why no one has applied to adopt her yet? She’s a petite girl and just the most precious pup you’ll ever meet.

Pearl is a 1 year old, 20lb mini Aussie mix gal. She is beautiful and you have to feel her super soft coat to really appreciate it! She is kennel trained and keeps a clean kennel. Pearl is super smart and very treat and praise motivated.

Pearl is kid, cat and dog friendly :) She would do best with a confident dog friend and/or dedicated work towards continued socialization at a doggie daycare or supervised doggie play date. We are working on leash training and recall. She is a sneaky gal and will leave her kennel (her safe space) to sneak around and grab kid toys and random items and take it back to her kennel. She has gotten the zoomies a couple times now and was so pleased with herself!

Pearl's most perfect new family will be loving and patient as she is learning that people can be so much fun! She is working on socialization and already greets everyone with tail wags and gentle kisses. Her best friend is a tiny foster kitten and she loves her baby foster human. She takes a second to get to know you, but she’s just like her name…she’s rare find you’ll treasure. This sweet girl has two sisters in the Kansas City area, who would love to meet up occasionally for play dates!

Her adoption fee is 300$. This covers cost of spay, heartworm test, rabies vaccine, 3 rounds of distemper/parvo vaccine, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, 2 rounds of leptospirosis vaccine, dewormer, and she's been on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
