Tex, black tri male – probably between 10 and 12 years old, came in neutered, UTD on shots, HW negative.  This amazing old soul must have been dumped because he is old. There is no way he would EVER have left his home.  He never leaves his foster family’s side so the possibility of him getting “lost” is out of the question.  Tex was picked up by animal control as a “stray” in a very rural area.  He is totally devoted and healthy except for some severe arthritis.  His arthritis is improving now that he is on some medicine to help him and a good diet.  His adoption fee will be greatly reduced and we will help with the cost of his drugs.  Tex’s foster mom wrote this description on him – “He is great, Perfect boy.  House trained, doesnt need a crate, polite manners.  Wonderful with the kids, likes everyone!  Loves car rides… great on a leash (Kaleigh walks him…)  He is Perfect…. “  Kaleigh is 5 years old by the way.  Tex allows Kaleigh’s year old sister to crawl on him and use him as a pillow when she takes a nap.  If you have a soft spot for the seniors and want to know the joy of having such a grateful dog to pamper – Tex is the one for you!

Jenny was adopted 8/23/10!
Private Referrals are listed as a courtesy to other rescues, shelters, and private individuals looking to place a dog. Any adoption resulting from this listing is a matter solely between the lister and potential adopter.

Jenny is a one year old Australian Shepherd mix. She is VERY affectionate and loves to be with people.

Jenny’s former owner was planning a move from the country to the city and decided that he couldn’t take Jenny with him. Instead of trying to find her a new home his solution was to shoot her. I heard about what the man was planning on doing and rescued her from this horrid situation. I am now looking to find Jenny a loving family that will give her the chance at life that she deserves.

She is spayed, crate trained, knows a few obedience commands, and walks very nicely on a leash.

To learn more about Jenny please contact me at Jennifer. A $100 adoption fee will apply.

Zuzu, 3 to 4 year old black tri female – small – weighing in just under 35 lbs – UTD on shots, HW negative, crate trained, housebroken. Zuzu was dumped at animal control in southern MO because her family was moving. We have figured out that she must have lived in an apartment because each time when she is finished eating, she runs to the door to go for a walk! She gets along well with other dogs and older children. She is very loving and seems to prefer women over men. She is a very quiet dog and really likes routine.

Just a quick note to thank you for facilitating this wonderful adoption!  We are very, very pleased with Chip and for the extreme kindness we have received from both Joan and her Mom for bringing Chip to our home in Maryland. 
This wonderful dog has a soft and trusting side to him and it is already coming out in these past few days he has been with us.  He is getting along well with his new brother, Duke and sister, Sasha.  I am so pleased at how well he is doing and our family is just in love with this little guy.  He is a true gem and we are so fortunate that this “dream” became a reality.  I can’t thank you enough and Joan for giving this dog a chance and giving us the opportunity to be his family.  He has graced us with his loving presence and I see it in him and should just be a few more weeks before he will really drop his “guard”.  Joan had mentioned he didn’t get up on the bed when she had him and last two nights he has popped up in the bed and slept with my husband and myself (he does have his own new beds to chose from!).  But a warm furry body is always a joy to sleep with.
Thank you for giving us a chance and for trying something new, out of state adoption!  I see many wonderful things for all of us in this dogs future. 
Many thanks,
Joy

Fern is an 8 month old black & white mini aussie – UTD on immunizations, microchipped, housebroken. Fern continues to make progress in her foster home after being rescued from a horrendous backyard breeder. She likes to be around people, although still shy, she does approach people and gives dainty kisses. Unexpected loud noises will spook her & she will run to the other room, but quickly comes back… like she is really trying to stick it out, but her mind works faster than she can tell herself how to react. Fern is still very much a puppy & needs proper things to chew on – she also enjoys finding clothing that smells like her foster mom – she does not chew these up but just takes them and makes a bed out of them. She is submissive with other dogs and likes kids. She will let children approach her, and pet her, but doesnt like to “play” with them. This little angel of a dog will need someone who is dog smart enough to realize she will need a little extra time to adjust, but will be well worth the extra wait.

Hummer was adopted 8/5/10!

Hummer, 1 year old red tri male – 18 1/2 inches tall, 43 lbs, UTD on shots – will be neutered before going to new home – Hummer is very loving and playful – he was bought as a show dog but did not get big enough to be within the breed standard, so the owner wanted a dog she could compete with, so asked us to find him a good home. He has been around other dogs and does fine with them – he is well socialized. He is located in eastern Kansas.
