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.

Baby

Age: 10
Breed: Husky Mix
Weight: 42 lb
Previous Home: Independence MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 7/9/21
Adoption Pending

Baby is in her second stay here, due to her owner’s health. She is a smart girl who wants to be where the people are. She loves walks, and gets along well with other dogs.

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

In foster; Available for Adoption

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.

Angie & Sammy

Ages: 13 / 13
Breed: Yorkie / Chihuahua mix
Weight: 15 / 12 lb
Previous Home: Midwest Animal ResQ, Raytown MO
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 all their teeth, so they have to eat soft food, and Sammy is blind. 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
Available for adoption

Chubbles is a calm, gentle soul, one of the sweetest, mellowest dogs you’ll ever meet. She has arthritis in her back hips, so she moves around slowly, and shouldn’t go on long walks. But she still loves walking around the play yard, following her person around and joining in with the group. She is quiet and a bit shy, but affectionate. She gets along well with other dogs, but may get pushed aside by more active ones. She would be a great companion for a less active person who wants a low-energy, loving friend.

Charlie

Age: 10
Breed: Husky/Shepherd mix
Weight: 94 lb
Previous Home: Independence MO Animal Shelter
Arrived: 9/24/21
Available for adoption

Charlie is a big bear of a friendly guy. He is super mellow, and mostly likes to lay down and watch the world go by. He is affectionate, and loves belly rubs. He also enjoys lumbering around the yard, and going on short walks. He is overweight, and we have had him on a diet, which would need to continue. But he would be an excellent, low-maintenance companion

Molly

Age: 14
Breed: Chihuahua
Weight: 12 lb
Previous Home: Helping Hands Human Society, Topeka KS
Arrived: 10/12/21
Not yet available for adoption

Molly is an adorable girl. She is quiet, but loves to be picked up, held, and carried around. She gets along with well with other dogs, mostly keeping to herself. As with most pups her age, she is on some medications, but still gets around well. She loves to be outside, soaking in the sun.

Buster

Age: 10
Breed: Schnauzer
Weight: 17 lb
Previous Home: Helping Hands Human Soc, Topeka
Arrived: 11/10/21
Not Yet Available for Adoption

Buster is a friendly, quiet guy. He is a bit shy, but likes people and other dogs. He pretty much stays to himself. He enjoys being outside, and going on short walks. He is a good snuggler!

Hobbs

Age: 10
Breed: Chihuahua
Weight: 12 lb
Previous Home: Humane Society of Greater KC
Arrived: 11/24/21
Not yet available for adoption

Hobbs is the perfect mix for a senior dog: he still has energy, and loves walks, but he is also happy cuddling up on the couch. He lived with dogs and cats in the past, and gets along fine with them. He had his front teeth removed, but is otherwise a healthy boy.
