🚨 FREE LILLY. 🚨

At this point, we need to know what Lilly did.

Cheese tax fraud?
Grand theft Milk-Bone?
Bit a cop?
Ran an underground squirrel-destuffing ring?

Because ELEVEN MONTHS IN DOGGY JAIL seems excessive.

Lilly is 11 years old and is dangerously close to celebrating her ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY at an animal shelter, and absolutely the hell not.

She came into the Humane Society of Atchison with a younger Jack Russell Terrier, and somehow Lilly (and her brother) are still there!

Now, yes, she is technically a terrier. But at 11, her domestic-terrorist era is OVER. She has retired from organized chaos. The government (and the squirrels) no longer consider her a threat.

These days, Lilly’s criminal activity consists mostly of landing tiny kisses directly on your nose without consent. Boop! 😘

She is gentle.
She loves basically everyone.
She would like snacks.
She would like a comfortable bed.
She would like to speak to management about why she is STILL LIVING IN A KENNEL.

Whatever crime landed this elderly pup behind bars is in her past. SHE HAS SERVED HER SENTENCE.

Frankly, she has served several other dogs’ sentences too.

Lilly is in her golden years. She does not need to be doing hard time. She needs to be wildly overindulged in someone’s house, wrapped in a blanket like a burrito, gaining an unreasonable sense of entitlement and staring at you every time you open the refrigerator.

The ONLY anniversaries Lilly should be celebrating from now on are ADOPTION ANNIVERSARIES.

Not surrender anniversaries.
Not kennel anniversaries.
Not “well, s**t, I’m still here” anniversaries.

She has been waiting 11 MONTHS.

🚨 WE HAVE 30-ISH DAYS TO PREVENT THIS ABSOLUTE BU****IT. 🚨

📍 Humane Society of Atchison 913-367-3647
👵 Age: 11
⚖️ Sentence: Already served
💋 Charges: Aggravated nose kissing
🛋️ Desired parole location: Your couch
🚔 Risk to society: Mostly snack-related, unless the squirrel is abnormally sluggish.

SHARE HER. ADOPT HER. BREAK HER OUT.

“Shyann” (yes, pun intended… painfully so)

Allow me to introduce Shyann, a 2-year-old, medium-sized, “what even is she?” mix who is here to fulfill a very specific niche in the dog-owning community:

👉 People who want the idea of a dog without the inconvenience of… interacting with it.

⸻

What you get with Shyann:

* A dog that will not bother you for pets, affection, or emotional connection
* A dog that will not walk on a leash (because why would she)
* A dog that will grace your property with her presence like a cryptid you occasionally glimpse
* A built-in fitness trainer for your actual dog (she wrestles, she plays, she commits to the bit)
* A low-maintenance yard ornament that eats, drinks, and vibes

⸻

Her backstory (aka why you should feel guilty enough to say yes):

Shyann was trapped in Texas with her puppies. Her puppies were rescued, and she landed in a kill shelter. So yes, she has had a rough go and is now accepting applications for “nice human who lets me exist in peace.”

⸻

Personality:

* Not aggressive. Like… at all.
* Socially prefers dogs > cats > chickens > you
* Will follow your other dog everywhere like a slightly awkward little sister
* Will hang out near you… just not with you
* Occasionally shows off her adorable snaggletooth because one lip gets stuck and honestly it’s her best feature

⸻

Living situation:

Let’s be clear:

* She is not your city apartment, leash-walking, couch-snuggling dog
* She is a farm, acreage, barn, “come and go as she pleases” type of girl
* She’d thrive somewhere she can:
* Have shelter (barn/garage/kennel setup)
* Be with other dogs
* Live her best “I’m here but don’t perceive me” life

⸻

Current situation:

At my house, she:

* Comes in and out when the door is open
* Sleeps near the foot of the bed, on the floor
* Hangs out wherever I am… at a respectful, non-touchable distance
* Still cannot be touched unless she decides someday that growth is her journey

⸻

The sales pitch (really lean into this part):

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’d love to spend money on dog food for a dog I don’t have to pet,”

or

“I wish my dog had a mysterious sidekick that keeps them entertained while ignoring me,”

or

“What my farm is missing is a shy little ghost dog who minds her business,”

CONGRATULATIONS. This is your girl.

⸻

Adoption details:

* Fee: WAIVED (because we’re not delusional)
* Requirements:
* Be kind
* Have land/farm/space
* Have other dogs
* Be okay never forcing affection on her
* I can help transition her (kenneling initially, etc.)

⸻

Final thoughts:

She doesn’t need to be someone’s “perfect dog.”
She just needs a place where she can exist, feel safe, and slowly—maybe—learn that humans aren’t the worst.

She survived everything thrown at her.
It would be a shame if the only thing she didn’t survive was not finding a place to land.

⸻

So… anyone out there want a dog you don’t have to touch, train, or emotionally support… but will quietly exist on your property and make your other dog not be a lazy bum all day?

You can fill out a courtesy app at unleashedrescue.com or just comment!

Update on Gloria 💛

Gloria did awesome. Truly.

For those who remember, Gloria is one of the dogs we rescued — the sweet girl who was shot in the face and somehow never lost her ability to love. She found her forever home with Kristin, who has given her the life she always deserved.

She did have to go back in this morning for IV pain meds because she was in quite a bit of pain overnight — which, honestly, isn’t unexpected with a surgery like this in such a high-movement area. But after getting her pain under control, she’s doing good all things considered and is resting.

The bandages you see are there to protect her from infection and to help prevent the kind of incision separation that can happen in areas like this. The surgery actually went even better than we hoped — they were able to take 2 cm margins all the way around both tumors, which is the gold standard for mast cell tumor removal.

Based on how she’s handled anesthesia in the past, we’re expecting lots of sleep and slow, steady healing over the next few days.

They’ll head back next week for a bandage check and change, and her sutures should come out in about 3 weeks.

She continues to capture hearts as “Perfect Gloria,” and I am so incredibly relieved she made it through — all four legs, zero tumors, and exactly where she belongs.

Kristin has shown up for Gloria in every possible way, just like she has for so many dogs she’s adopted from us over the years. Watching the life Gloria has now… it’s everything we hope for when we save them.

We truly cannot say thank you enough to everyone who has supported, shared, sent love, and donated to her care. It means more than we could ever put into words.

We have raised right around $2000 to help Kristin with Glo’s surgery. The surgery itself was $4000 not including any diagnostic visits. This also doesn’t include the $20,000 that Kristin has spent in the last couple of months with her other pets’ health issues.
If you’d like to help Kristin and Gloria through this rough time, you can donate on one of the links below.

If you remember Gloria… you know she’s a fighter. ❤️
This is the same sweet girl who was shot in the face—left with a devastating wound and unimaginable pain.
And yet… she survived. She healed. She found love.

Because of Kristin.

Kristin didn’t just adopt Gloria—she gave her a life most dogs never get. A life filled with safety, compassion, and relentless care. The kind of home every rescue dog deserves.

But now… Gloria needs help again.

She has been diagnosed with mast cell tumors in her leg, and while there is hope, time matters.

✔️ The good news: testing shows the cancer has NOT spread
✔️ The plan: surgery to remove the tumors and hopefully save her leg
✔️ The reality: the surgery alone is $4,000 (not including the extensive diagnostics already done)

Over the last 9 months, Kristin has spent over $20,000 in vet bills caring for her dogs—through illness, loss, and everything in between. She’s also self-employed, meaning every appointment is lost income on top of the bills.

And still… she keeps showing up for them.

Now it’s our turn to show up for her.

Gloria has already survived the unthinkable once
Let’s not let cost be the reason she doesn’t get this chance

Every single dollar helps. No amount is too small.

If you’ve ever loved a rescue…
If you remember Gloria’s story…
If you believe people like Kristin deserve support…

Please donate (and mention Gloria), share, and help us give Gloria the future she fought so hard for.❤️

We didn’t stop rescuing.
We just decided to go upstream.

For years, we’ve been pulling dogs and cats out of crisis—
sick, abandoned, unwanted litters, emergencies, kill shelters.

But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:

We will NEVER rescue our way out of this problem.

So we made a hard, intentional shift.

Unleashed Pet Rescue is now focused on Spay & Neuter Outreach and we've started with the biggest need, right here in Kansas City, Kansas—
because this is where real change happens.

✔️ Preventing unwanted litters before they’re born
✔️ Helping families keep their pets instead of surrendering them
✔️ Stopping suffering before it starts
✔️ Reducing disease, neglect, and overpopulation at the source

This work isn’t as “cute” as puppies and kittens.
It doesn’t go viral.

But it is EVERYTHING.

Every surgery we fund =
🚫 Dozens (sometimes hundreds) of future animals who won’t suffer
🚫 Fewer dogs and cats ending up in shelters
🚫 More families staying together

We’re still in the trenches. Just in a different place.

And we need you with us.

This is how we fix it. Not later. Now.

✨ Adoption Fee: $450
✨ Spayed/Neutered
✨ Vaccinated
✨ Wormed
✨ On flea & heartworm prevention
✨ Microchipped

If you’ve been considering a small dog, this is a wonderful opportunity. Please share, tag a friend, and help us find the very best families for Mickey, Clarabelle, Donald, and Bonnie.

Okay y’all… this is the update we have ALL been hoping for. 💛

Sweet and Prince — our two tiny Chihuahua Outreach puppies who tested positive for Parvo — are ALIVE. They survived. They are HOME.

They only lived because of your donations.
They were only able to be treated because of your donations.

When Sweet started vomiting and tested positive, our hearts dropped. Parvo is brutal. Without treatment, it is almost always fatal. Their owner loves them deeply but simply could not afford emergency hospitalization. Because of YOU, we didn’t have to choose between cost and their lives.

Both puppies were rushed to the emergency vet. They received intensive care, fluids, medications, and around-the-clock monitoring. And somehow — miraculously — these two fighters pulled through.

Today they are back home with their owner, happy, bright, and alive. You can see the joy in this photo. That happiness exists because this community showed up.

And we didn’t stop there.

Sweet and Prince are now:
✔️ Spayed/Neutered
✔️ Fully vaccinated
✔️ Protected from future preventable diseases
✔️ No longer contributing to the cycle of unwanted litters

This is what Outreach is about.
Not judgment. Not turning people away.
Saving lives. Breaking cycles. Supporting families who just need help.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. You didn’t just donate. You saved two lives. 💛

🛑🩵🛑🩵STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING.🩵🛑🩵🛑

Because these tiny, freckle-nosed, heart-stealing nuggets are officially looking for homes. 🥹

We have 8-week-old Chihuahua mix puppies and their 14 pound momma who are available through our friends Animal Rescue Friends of Floydada — and they will be ready to go home THIS FRIDAY.

Just look at those faces.
The pink/black speckled nose.
The serious little eyes.
The tiny white paws.

They are the perfect mix of cuddly lap baby + spicy little personality. And yes… they are exactly as sweet as they look.

✨ Adoption Fee: $450 for puppies and $350 for momma
✨ Spayed/Neutered
✨ Vaccinated
✨ Wormed
✨ On flea & heartworm prevention
✨ Microchipped

These babies are fully vetted and ready to start their spoiled-rotten era.

💔 One of our biggest fears has come true. 💔

This is exactly why we do Outreach in Kansas City, Kansas.

We spay and neuter to prevent unwanted litters.
Because unwanted litters mean unplanned puppies.
Unplanned puppies often mean no vaccines.
And no vaccines mean Parvo.

Last week we met a brand new Outreach baby. Her name is Sweet and she is a chihuahua mix puppy. She was just vaccinated for the first time by our vet last week, but one vaccine is not enough. Puppies need a series of vaccines to be fully protected.

On Saturday, Sweet started vomiting. Diarrhea followed. We were alerted by her owners and now, she tested positive for Parvo.

Now she needs the emergency vet.

Her owners don’t have the funds. And before anyone says, “If you can’t afford a dog, don’t get one” — we understand the sentiment. But the reality is this: people who can’t afford dogs already have them. And without Outreach, those dogs remain unvaccinated, unaltered, and sick… producing more puppies who will suffer the same fate.

This is the cycle we are fighting.
And right now, that fight has a name.

Sweet.

Without emergency veterinary care, she will die.
With care, she has a chance.

Parvo is brutal. It is fast. It is unforgiving. But it is treatable if we act immediately.

If you can spare $1, $5, $20 — anything at all — it could be the difference between life and death for this tiny girl.

Please help us save Sweet. Please help us break this cycle.

OK y’all… today was a BIG ✂️✨ NO MORE BABIES ✨✂️ kind of day!!!

Our Unleashed Outreach Team got FIVE dogs fixed today because of your help!! 🙌

And plot twist… 👀

Two of them were brand new puppies that magically appeared between the last time we spoke to the owner and today. Surprise! 🎉🐶🐶

Listen… this is EXACTLY why we do this work. Because when we wait, more babies happen. And while we love puppies (obviously 😍), we love preventing litters that will struggle even more.

Today’s crew:
• Brave little nuggets under anesthesia 💕
• One very dramatic upside-down pose 😂
• Microchips activated ✔️
• Vaccines done ✔️
• Rabies compliant ✔️
• Flea prevention ✔️
• Owners educated ✔️
• Future litters prevented ✔️✔️✔️

That’s potentially HUNDREDS of puppies prevented over the next few years from just these five dogs. That’s fewer dogs in crisis. Fewer dogs in shelters. Fewer dogs suffering.

Today was successful.
Today was impactful.
Today was one more step toward breaking the cycle in KCK.

And the best part?

✨ YAY. NO. MORE. BABIES. ✨

These pups are all back home, cuddling with their owners tonight 🩵.
