BEWARE!! There are many 'rescues' that are nothing more than glorified puppy brokers!

Be sure that ANY animal you adopt is fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, and all necessary shots and tests. Reputable rescues include all this, and more!  You don't want to fall victim to 'puppies for profit' from a non-legitimate rescue!
The below listed dogs are courtesy posting for other shelters and rescues.  Please contact them for more information as the adoption will be through their organizations.

Oakley

Picture
Oakley is a malamute x lab cross, around 12 - 18 months old and is currently in a shelter in Keokuk, IA.  He is an owner surrender from a neglectful situation.  Oakley is about 85 pounds but could stand to put on a few more pounds as he's still a bit skinny He is very friendly but since he has been kenneled at the shelter for so long he does get excited when he gets out and can be a little jumpy. He has had no training other than we have worked on sit and shake. He is good with children but because of his size, age 10 and up would be best. He has shown no problems with other dogs when he walks by their kennels  He has been neutered and is up to date on shots, been wormed and treated for fleas. He is a very cool dog, that is super sweet and wants to please. He would not do well in a home where he had to be crated a lot. He is a free spirit that is a lot of fun and has a goofball side as well. He needs to be with people so should not be in a home where he is left alone for long periods.  For more information on Oakley, please contact Cindy at ​ kas15keokuk@gmail.com or call 319-795-0219.  https://tinyurl.com/y8vmpone

Rafiki

Picture
Rafiki is a 4-year-old male Alaskan Malamute currently at the Central Missouri Humane Society in Columbia, MO. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heart worm negative. He is housebroken and lived indoors in his previous home.  Rafiki is a long coated malamute which though gorgeous, will require extra grooming. He was brought to CMHS for mouthing younger people at his home and does have some collar sensitivity. At his time in the shelter so far, Rafiki has not shown interest in other dogs. He would benefit from a mal-experienced home who is willing to work with his issues.  No children!! CMHS would prefer a rescue to pull him, but are open to a mal-experienced adopter.  For more information on Rafiki, please contact Jenny at:
