Pets of the Week
Heart of America Humane Society
|
Name: Rudy Rudy was found roaming around along with his brothers Stuart and Casey at only 4 weeks of age, picked up by animal control and taken to a city shelter. Rudy has been in foster care since he was 5 weeks old. He is the largest of his brothers and the fearless leader of the litter with an adventurous spirit. But sometimes all he needs is to snuggle in his foster mom's lap, purring away. Rudy's foster mom would prefer him to be adopted with one of his brothers, who are all very close, or to a home that already has a kitty. Rudy will be neutered prior to adoption, is FIV/Feline Leukemia negative and has received age appropriate vaccinations. His adoption fee is $85. For more information on adopting Rudy, please contact Jenna at jschipull@gmail.com. |

Name: Puck Puck is a handsome fellow who weighs in at around 20 pounds. He's a mellow boy, considering how young he is. One of his favorite things to do is curl up on a lap and get petted. Puck gets along well with his (much larger) canine foster sister, and they play tug-of-war with anything they can find. Puck is deaf, so we're practicing training with hand signals. He seems to be mostly housetrained, which he's working on perfecting while he's in foster care. Although he seems to like children of all ages, it is important for the family who adopts this boy to realize they can't sneak up on him. Puck does seem to like everyone, though, so if you want to open your heart and home to this sweet little guy, come out and meet him! HAHS now has several adoption locations, so please contact Liz at liz_novak@hotmail.com to find out when and where you can meet Puck. |

Half Way Home Pet Adoptions
|
Name: Gummi Bear Gummi is fun-loving, friendly, outgoing and very, very smart. She loves to play and would make a great companion in a home with kids. She’d love a young and playful doggy friend, too. Another good thing about Gummi is that she has the great happy personality and “joie de vivre” of a Labrador but in a much smaller size. Less than 40 pounds, she’s the right size to fit just about any lifestyle. Gummi is such a trouper. Life is hard at the pound, but she is not losing her morale. We won’t let her know that her chance to find a home before her time is up is pretty low. We have so many black dogs that people just don’t see them anymore. This phenomenon is called “Black Dog Syndrome.” Halfway Home even has a “black dog sale” and cuts the adoption fee in half to try to help them. Still, every time a black dog leaves the shelter alive, it’s a celebration. Please give a black dog a chance. |

| Half Way Home Pet Adoptions receives animals from the Kansas City Animal Health and Public Safety Division and from public drop-off. Because it operates as the Kansas City animal pound, it does not decline any animal intake from Kansas City, Mo., residents. The euthanasia rate is high as the shelter must make room for new arrivals on a daily basis. Halfway Home collaborates with several rescue groups in the region to get animals transferred. If you are a licensed rescue group and would like to offer assistance, please send e-mail to email@petshalfwayhome.com, or call 816-784-4001. The shelter is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m., and on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., but is closed on Sundays when the Chiefs are in town. |
