Pets of the Week: Pringles the dog and Rabbit the cat

More News

Pringles

Age: Adult

Breed: Labrador retriever/collie mix

Gender: Male

Description: What a sweet little guy! Pringles is very affectionate, sensitive and somewhat submissive little dog, easy, loving and oh so charming! Pringles is on the small size for a Lab mix. No more than 35-40 pounds or so. He’s a young adult and has an adorable little grin. He really is a little treasure.

Pringles has been transferred to foster care. Here’s a note from the foster mom: “Things are going really well. Everyone is getting along great. Valerie and Pringles are two of the sweetest babies ever! Valerie, who seemed so timid at first, is really funny and playful. Pringles is just a sweet goofball. When it’s time for bed, he goes straight to his kennel and lays down.”

If interested, please fill out our On-Line Application. Adopting a foster dog allows you to have more information about how the dog behaves in a home. In addition, it opens a spot in the foster program so we can save another dog who is running out of time. Please consider opening your heart to a foster dog.

For more info about this pet or to set up a time to meet him or her, please contact us: email@petshalfwayhome.com or 816-784-4001. If you are driving distance of Kansas City, one of our representatives might be able to take this pet to your home to see how he or she does in your environment and help you make a decision.

Rabbit

Age: Young

Breed: Manx

Gender: Male

Description: Rabbit is an adorable boy who recently lost his leg. But being on three legs certainly hasn’t stopped this guy! Brave little Rabbit loves life with all his heart and he’s hoping he can find a family to share his love with. He is up to date with routine shots and has been altered.

Shelter information: Halfway 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.

The Web site is www.petshalfwayhome.com.
