Story
Ayce is 5 years old and loves attention and cuddling. He gets along with other dogs (as long as he is introduced properly). He likes to play and will always be by your side wanting love and to be pet and is all around a great dog besides just a couple things.. He has hopped our chain link fence before but hasn’t recently. The fence was lower than the rest of the fence at the spot he jumped. Also he is not ok around little kids. We have a 2 year old and he has shown signs of aggression only towards my son. He is great with adults but i wouldn’t have him around kids at all. He has snipped at my son a couple times recently and we can’t chance anything happening to our son so we are looking to find him a great new home with even greater new owners

Story
I got my dog named Brownie when he was 5 months from Wayside Waifs a adoption shelter out by Overland Park and he was loving and sweet at first but now he is kind of out of control he barks a lot and I tried to train him to do things and teach him stuff but it’s hard and doesn’t really listen and this is my first dog so i thought starting off with a puppy would be good for me to learn how to train a dog and stuff. He is almost 9 months and about maybe 40-50 lbs. Just looking for him a new home someone that has experience in training a needy dog and wanting to make him house train and stuff because time to time he pees in the house so we have to put him in his kennel and Brownie is very needy, energetic, can be sweetheart but he is just a puppy still so I think he is still trying to get used to everything.

Story
Gus is a 3 year old American Bulldog. He weighs about 80lbs but has no idea. He will literally sit on your lap. He loves walks and is pretty relaxed most of the time. Does not chew things up. He will get into the trash if you leave it out for him but that’s his only weakness while you’re gone. He stays out at our house and that’s our only issue. He CAN NOT live with any cats or small dogs. We rescued him because he killed a yorkie and a cat. He has very high prey drive. Large female dogs are ok. Large males are ok at the dog park just not in his territory. Despite his super high prey drive, I have a very high energy 5 year old (got him when she was 3) and a newborn baby. He has NEVER shown any aggression towards them. Not even with food. You could put your hands in his food while he eats if you wanted. He is a very good dog, it hurts to see him go but due to our living situation we have no other choice

Story
Coco is 5 yrs old. She is a very loving , always hyper when you come home dog. Our hearts ache at the thought of giving her up, but we know that it is in her best interest. When we first got coco, i was a stay at home mom living in a two story house with my husband and two kids. We were able to attend to all her needs, we already had a senior dog living with us that i have had for over eleven years and thought it would be great to bring her in to keep him busy. Now, both my husband and me work more than full time and have moved to a smaller home. We are looking to find her forever home where so wont need or want for anything. She loves to sleep in bed with us, loves squeaky toys (they have to be tough), meaty treats, and cuddles.She hates being cold, sharing her food, and most importantly she cant stand cats. She knows to go potty when she is taken outside but needs to be on a schedule.She is most definitely not an outside dog. She is good with kids but gets a bit "too hyper" at times.

Story
We got Ghost from a girl that was not able to care for or feed him. He was about 4 months old at the time, he's been with us for about 6 months now and while he is a very smart and sweet dog he just needs more attention than we are able to give him as my partner and I both work full-time. He is very friendly, has never been aggressive with anyone, and loves to play. We are hoping that he can go to someone that has time to play with this friendly guy with space for him to run.
