Meet C**t 🤍🐾

This handsome boy is currently waiting at Megan's Paws & Claws in Smithville, Missouri, hoping someone will give him a chance.

And this is exactly why fostering matters.

A foster home does more than save one dog. It opens a kennel, creates space, and gives another animal a shot at safety, care, and a future. One open door becomes a ripple that can save lives.

C**t does not need perfection. He just needs a person willing to say, “Come stay with me while we find your forever.” 🏡🐶

If you live in or around Smithville, Missouri and have room in your home, heart, or schedule to foster, please consider contacting Megan's Paws & Claws.

Even sharing this post helps C**t’s story travel farther.

Let’s get C**t out of a kennel & into a home. 🤍

UPDATE: ADOPTED ❤️

Ace has been waiting 121 days❤️ 🐾

Despite all that time waiting, Ace is still a sweet, hopeful boy who just needs the right person to notice him. Shelter life can be tough, and after so many days without a home, he truly deserves a fresh start with a family of his own.

Ace would love a place where he can relax, play, and finally feel what it’s like to belong. ❤️

Ace is dog, kid and cat friendly.

Hi, our names are Apollo, Blackie Chan, Bleau and Tobey. Our owner fell ill and can no longer take care of us. Unfortunately no one in the family wanted us, so she had to surrender us to the shelter. All our information about us is listed below. We have been raised around older grandchildren. We are Potty pad trained, but we do go outside to use the bathroom. We are terrified of men, never lived with cats and learning how to walk on a leash. We will be up for adoption on Thursday January 29th, 2026. Come by and meet us.

Seeking help from a licensed rescue

**Seeking licensed rescue commitment**

This pup has been seen sneaking into a barn at night in Dearborn MO and eating but the property owner cannot approach it without the pup running.

I would like to get this baby safe and out of the cold but there is no animal control or shelter services in Dearborn, thus I am seeking licensed rescue commitment. Of course, pup will be scanned for a chip immediately after trapped and if chipped and has an owner looking for it then it will not need commitment as it will be returned to the owner.

Any rescues willing to help this baby out? It temps are going to plummet this weekend.

What a hunk!

Hey hey guys... Hulk here stopping in to say hi!!! I'm just hanging out here at the shelter. How in the heck is it possible I'm still here??? I am a 2yr old pitbull and weigh about 95lbs. Everyone here at the shelter just adores me. Please don't let my size scare you away I'm just a huge teddy bear and have been nothing but a gentleman to everyone I've met. I've shown no aggression although a household with cats would be a big no. I love my stuffies even though they don't last long, lounging on my bed and chewing on a big bone. I do great on a leash and am completely kennel trained. I know tons of commands and am good at obeying. How awesome would it be if I could find my furrever home. Come on in and visit me I like the company. - love and big huge kisses from your boy Hulk!!!
