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 our home with them.
Duce
* Age: 11
Age: 11 Breed: Plott Hound Mix
Previous Home: Kansas City Pet Project, KC MO
Arrived: 5/19/19 Available for adoption; in foster
Duce was an owner surrender at KC Pet Project. He is shy, and has anxiety with strangers, but is very loyal and affectionate with his people. He has worked with trainers from The Pet Connection 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.

Baby

Previous Home: Helping Hand Humane Society, Topeka KS
Arrived: 4/23/21 Not currently available for adoption
Baby is a rarity: a quiet, mellow chihuahua. His original owner named him Taco, but she passed away, and his second owner called him Baby before she also passed. He is a good, sweet boy, who loves being held. He is still active, and enjoys walking around the yard. He is very relaxed around other dogs. He’s lost most of his teeth, so he eats only soft food. At age 9, he should still have a lot of years ahead of him, and would make a loving indoor companion.
