Looking for a laid-back best friend who just wants to be by your side? This sweet boy may be the perfect match.

Dewey is a gentle soul who looks to his people for reassurance and absolutely loves everyone!

A little about him:

• Potty trained — he even does a cute little dance when he needs to go!
• He makes sure he’s completely finished outside before he’ll come back in
• Sleeps nicely in his kennel
• Walks great on a leash
• Wonderful with dogs of all sizes
• Good with cats
• Loves people
• Not a wild or rambunctious puppy
• His favorite place is laying next to his person and watching TV

He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention—he just wants to know he’s safe, loved, and close to his person.

If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion to share your couch, your walks, and your life with, this boy is ready to find his person.

Male• 1 year old • Terrier Mix• 17lbs

DEWEY is one of the 80+ dogs and puppies who we recently rescued from a terrible hoarding situation. The poor dogs were living in a filthy, crowded house, having to fend for their food. Most of them have scars and wounds. It was truly a heartbreaking situation.

Yet, every single one of these dogs and puppies are sweet natured— just wanting to be loved. They are amazingly resilient. They’ve all been bathed, cuddled, and loved on by volunteers and staff.

Some are very timid, yet they are comforted by being held and like the attention and love.

Thankfully, many have found foster homes with us or with our rescue group partners. But we still have about 30 dogs in our shelter who are ready to be adopted or to go to a foster home.


ADOPTING A DOG
Our dogs have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and tested for heartworms (if 7 months or older).

If you have a dog or children we ask that you bring them with you to meet our dogs to make sure it is a good match.

We are open for meet and greet adoptions at our shelter on weekends. No appointment is necessary for weekend adoptions. Our weekend hours vary and we also have satellite adoption events every weekend. Please visit our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FriendsofKCKAS/ for more info about weekend adoption hours, events and available pets.

We are open Monday through Friday by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at 913-321-1445 or by email at petadoptions@kckpd.org to schedule your appointment during weekdays.
