Find-a-Friend Friday: Jake in Kansas City (transport is available!)

KS – Jake
Brittany Spaniel: An adoptable dog in Kansas City, KS
Medium • Senior • Male

Hi, I’m Jake! I used to be an outside dog but have found that, even though I love running and playing outside, I like living inside with people and with my other dog buddies. I really want a new home that has other dog buddies for me to play with! It is so fun to have people around to love on me whenever I feel like it! Now that my heartworms are gone foster mom says it’s time that I find an even more fun place! Some place with a bigger yard, more trees and varmints and maybe even people that like to hike the river or woods trails sometimes. I like other dogs and get along well with the ones here. I like toys too and my favorite is the rope kind. I found a plush toy but foster mom called me a “de-stuffer” and took it away. I like cats too but foster mom says they are not prey (puh!) and I should not be in a pack with cats. I am 9 years old but am a typical brit with high energy and have no intention of retiring to lying on the porch just yet. I am smart and know lots of commands too. I love being with people and really want to please them. I know how to sit, down and take treats nicely. I potty outside and do not climb the fence. Foster mom says that I am a Good Boy! Do you want to be my new people?

If you are interested in adopting Jake, please visit www.NBRAN.org to complete an adoption application. Please contact Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net or 508-896-3602. The fee to adopt Jake is $200 to offset his vetting and to allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful pets. He is also eligible for our senior-to-senior program. Transportation can be arranged up 1500 miles with the adopter being responsible for the last 100 miles.

Find-a-Friend Friday: Achilles in Kansas City

Achilles
Ragdoll: An adoptable cat in Kansas City, KS
Medium • Senior • Male

Date of birth: 2004

3/30/13: Achilles is a pretty Ragdoll kitty. He has beautiful blue eyes and Seal Point markings. He is 9 years old.

Achilles had been living in a hoarding situation with about 30 other cats. The cats were in fairly good condition, but they did not get a lot of socialization. Achilles is actually quite social given his history. He loves to roll around on his back! It may take him a little time to transition into a new home, but he’s doing really well with people here. He gets along with other cats, too.

Achilles has a damaged ear but it’s completely healed. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for FIV and feline leukemia.

MORE ON ADOPTING OUR CATS…

> Our goal is to send you home with a healthy pet and any information and support you may need to help your new pet adjust to his or her new home. All of our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for FIV and feline leukemia. Kittens who are too young to receive all the necessary kitten boosters and/or first rabies shot may be brought back to us for those vaccines at no extra charge. Take advantage of our ADOPT-A-BUDDY program: Adopt two cats or kittens together at a greatly reduced adoption fee!

> Most of our cats are not confined in cages but instead live in our spacious and sunny cat rooms. It’s a great environment for them, it allows us to get to know them well, and it’s a nice environment for you to come in to visit — and find your perfect match!

> An application is required to adopt a pet and applicants must meet our adoption requirements. If you decide you’d like to adopt one of our pets, we reserve the pet for you but we generally don’t send the pet home with you that same day. Please visit our web site at hsgkc.org for more information about our adoption process, our adoption fees and all that’s included, and for a pet adoption application.

Thank you for searching for a shelter pet!

Find-a-Friend Friday: Zoosy In Kansas City

ZOOSY
English Bulldog: An adoptable dog in Grandview, MO
Large • Adult • Male

Zoosy is a truly wonderful dog. He is blessed with a gentle, loving and carefree personality. He knows how to work the room and is always ready to play. He does love to wrestle and hopes his new owner isn’t afraid of a little slobber.

Zoosy has a rare medical problem but one that is more commonly seen in male Bulldogs. He makes cysteine stones in his bladder and those small stones were traveling through his urinary tract and causing an obstruction. When he came into our program he was unable to urinate freely and needed urgent medical attention. We performed a surgical procedure that eliminated the risk of obstruction. After a scrotal urethrostomy he has a larger opening to urinate out of, allowing the small stones to pass out easily. He has an opening to urinate much like a female dog would and is in the same general location as a female dog. His urethrostomy site is completely healed and he is doing great.

Zoosy is on a low protein prescription diet (u/d) due to the stone formation. He may be more prone to developing urinary tract infections and will need ongoing medical care if that is the case. He has an elongated soft palate as do the majority of Bulldog’s but this is not causing any problems at this time. He has a slight entropion of the right lower eyelid and will need ongoing monitoring of this problem. It is a common finding of bracycephalic breeds and may need medical or surgical care in the future.

Zoosy will need an attentive owner that is able to provide ongoing and possibly aggressive medical care. He is very healthy right now and should have a normal life span. He is vaccinated and tested heartworm negative. He is very good about keeping his kennel clean and should easily transition to a home environment.

His adoption fee is $600. Please inquire via email ONLY so we can manage the incoming applications in a timely manner. An application can be found at www.grandviewvet.com under the Hard Luck Hounds tab. Email completed applications to hardluckhounds@gmail.com.

You can access an application for adoption at www.grandviewvet.com under the Hard Luck Hounds tab. Prior to adoption all Hard Luck Hounds dogs are:
Spayed or neutered
Heartworm tested
Vaccinated
Treated for intestinal parasites
Micro-chipped

Adopting your new best friend is always better than shopping for one!

Find-a-Friend Friday: Barney in Lenexa, Kansas

Barney in KS
Great Pyrenees/Pointer Mix: An adoptable dog in Lenexa, KS
Extra Large • Young • Male

Full listing and online application at…. www.nationalpyr.org/rescue-dogs (sorry, no phone submissions).

Barney is a young male Pyrenees and Pointer mix, and is about a year old at most. He is very sweet, and is learning basic manners and commands quickly. He loves to play outdoors, and is pretty quiet and easy going indoors, especially for his young age. He likes all people, is good with kids but gets anxious if they chase him so probably best for a family that doesn’t have toddlers. Barney is great on car rides, a great leash walker, and loves other dogs; he is not cat tested yet.

Barney is house trained, is crate training slowly, and he does fine uncrated at night. He will make a family a wonderful happy go lucky companion. Barney is fully vetted including all vaccines, heart worm negative, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. If you would like to apply to adopt this sweetie please submit an adoption application – hope to hear from you soon!

Adoption fee will be provided by the rescue when application is received; transport available to the northeast for an additional fee.
