Our Dogs, Shep's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary

Our Dogs

We’d like you to meet the dogs that live at Shep’s Place. They are the reason for the entire enterprise, and we are proud to share their home with them.

Duce

Age: 11
Breed: Plott Hound Mix
Previous Home: KC Pet Project
Arrived: 5/19/19

In Foster, Available for Adoption

Duce was an owner surrender. He is shy, and has anxiety with strangers, but is very loyal and affectionate with his people. He has worked with trainers to reduce his anxiety, and has greatly improved. He loves to play with toys and go on walks. We believe he had little interaction with other dogs growing up, so he would do best in a home where he was the only pet. If someone is willing to be patient with him, he would be a great companion.

Jenny

Age: 12
Breed: Dachshund
Weight: 12 lb
Previous Home: Independence MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 3/3/21

Not Currently Available for Adoption

Jenny is a mellow, good-natured girl. She has a number of health concerns, including limited eyesight, but enjoys slowly wandering around the house or the yard, checking into things. She gets along well with other dogs, and is a great lap dog. She is quiet for a dachshund. She will steal your heart!

Teddy & Ginger

Age: 15 (Ginger), 13 (Teddy)
Breed: Dachshund Weight: 10 / 15 lb
Previous Home: Sunflower Rescue Group, De Soto KS
Arrived: 4/2/21

Adoption Pending

Teddy and Ginger are a bonded pair of dachshunds. They have lived together their whole lives, with an older lady who passed away recently. They want to be with people at all times, and are very affectionate and friendly. Ginger is recovering from a fungal infection that cost her most of the hair on her back end, but they are otherwise healthy and happy.

Harley

Age: 9
Breed: Terrier Mix
Weight: 35 lb
Previous Home: Independence MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 4/9/21
Foster Pending

Harley came to us after spending more than a year in and out of the Independence Animal Shelter, which is hard to believe, because he is the sweetest, friendliest guys you’ll ever meet. He’s healthy and energetic, and loves to go on walks and run around the yard. He loves people, and gets along well with other dogs.

Angie & Sammy

Ages: 13 / 13
Breed: Yorkie / Chihuahua mix
Weight: 15 / 12 lb
Previous Home: Midwest Animal ResQ
Arrived: 5/21/21
Available for adoption

Angie (the blonde) and Sammy (black & white) are a bonded pair, who have spent their whole lives together. They are still active and energetic, and love snuggling on the couch, or poking around the yard. They have lost almost all their teeth, so they have to eat soft food. Most of all, they are so stinkin’ cute!

Chubbles

Ages: 13
Breed: Labrador
Weight: 45 lb
Previous Home: Helping Hands Human Society, Topeka KS
Arrived: 6/4/21
Not yet available for adoption

Chubbles is the latest in our run of sweet, black labs. She is a gentle, quiet girl, a bit shy, but friendly. Her back legs are a bit weak, so she has trouble with stairs and cannot jump on the couch. But she still likes walking around the play yard, sniffing things. She hasn’t barked since she arrived. She is a lovely soul.

Baby

Age: 10
Breed: Husky Mix
Weight: 43 lb
Previous Home: Independence MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 6/18/21
Not yet available for adoption

Baby is a sweet, quiet, elegant girl with a heart of gold. She has a very mild disposition, and is friendly with everyone, including other dogs and cats. She has a bit of arthritis, and is being treated for dermatitis, but still gets around well, and enjoys going on walks.

Zoey

Age: 10
Breed: Beagle/Shepherd Mix
Weight: 35 lb
Previous Home: St. Joseph MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 2/9/21
Available for adoption

Zoey is a happy, energetic senior girl, who LOVES going on walks. She is friendly, and wants to be where the people are. She will jump up on the couch for a scratch and a rub. She is healthy and alert; you wouldn’t know she was a senior. She would probably do best in a home where she was the only pet.
