6. Lincoln
Young · Male · Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from Whiteman AFB



DOB: 3/7/2026 Current Weight(as of 8/12/26): 29 Lbs.
Adoption Fee: $275 includes 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness.
Meet Lincoln, an almost 6-month-old Shepherd/Husky/Lab mix who weighed right around 29 pounds at his neuter surgery on August 12. We can't guarantee his adult size, but we're expecting Lincoln to grow into a large dog.
Lincoln and his siblings came to Furry Kids when their owner was no longer able to care for them. We were also able to spay their momma, making sure there won't be any more accidental puppies.
Lincoln can be a little shy, especially when he's surrounded by his siblings, but get this sweet boy alone for some one-on-one attention and you get to see a completely different side of him.
Read more about Lincoln
He absolutely melts when someone takes the time to love on him. Like all of these puppies, Lincoln truly craves human interaction and touch.
He also LOVES toys and playing with his siblings and the other Furry Kids in his foster home. And then there's the kiddie pool! Lincoln and his siblings think splashing around in the water is about as much fun as a puppy can have. They love it so much their foster family has to limit their pool time so they don't spend the entire day soaking wet!
Lincoln plays very well with the other dogs in his foster home. We haven't seen aggression or dominant behavior from these puppies. They even eat just a couple of feet apart without fighting over their food.
A confident canine companion could be especially beneficial for Lincoln and may help him continue building his confidence. He could also do well with a very active, interactive family willing to give him plenty of attention, socialization and new experiences.
Lincoln is still very much a puppy, so his new family will need to continue working on training and house manners as he grows. A securely fenced yard would be best, and please no apartments.
Lincoln may not always be the first puppy demanding your attention, but give him a little individual time and you'll discover what a loving, sweet boy is waiting underneath that shy exterior.

7. Lolly
Young · Female · Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from Whiteman AFB



DOB: 3/7/2026 Current Weight(as of 8/12/26): 29 Lbs
Adoption Fee: $275 includes 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness.
Meet Lolly, an almost 6-month-old Shepherd/Husky/Lab mix who was right around 29 pounds at her spay surgery on August 12. We can't say for certain how big she will be as an adult, but we're expecting Lolly to grow into a large dog.
Lolly and her siblings came to Furry Kids when their owner was no longer able to care for them. We were also able to spay their momma, so there won't be any more accidental puppies!
Of the "L" puppies, Lolly is the most outgoing and confident.
Read more about Lolly
This sweet girl absolutely craves human interaction and touch. She doesn't just want to be in the same room with her people—she wants to be right there with you! Don't be surprised to find her standing between your legs or leaning her whole body against you. Lolly is definitely a girl who wants to feel close to her humans.
Like her siblings, Lolly LOVES toys and has discovered that kiddie pools are one of the greatest inventions ever! The puppies love splashing and playing in them so much that their foster family actually has to limit pool time, otherwise they'd happily stay wet all day!
Lolly is doing wonderfully with the other Furry Kids in her foster home. These puppies play well with other dogs, and we have not seen aggression or dominant behavior from them. They can even eat just a couple of feet apart without squabbling over their food.
Lolly may really enjoy having another confident dog in her new home, but an active, interactive family that includes her in their daily life could also be a great fit. She is still a young puppy and will need a family committed to continuing her training, socialization and house manners as she grows.
Because she's going to be a bigger, active girl, a securely fenced yard would be best for Lolly. Please no apartments.
If you're looking for an affectionate, playful pup who will happily lean against you one minute and splash in her pool the next, Lolly might be your girl!

Meet Pickles – A One-of-a-Kind Beauty!
Looking for a best friend who is equal parts playful, loving, and gorgeous? Meet Pickles! This sweet girl is approximately 10 months old and is ready to find the forever family she's been waiting for.
Read more about Pickles
We believe Pickles is a Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix, although she could also have a little Husky in her family tree. Since she came to us from a small rural Missouri shelter, we can't be certain of her breed or exactly how big she'll be when she's fully grown. Our best guess is that she'll mature into a medium to medium-large sized dog—a wonderful size for just about any family!
Whatever her breed mix may be, one thing is certain—she is absolutely stunning! Her beautiful mismatched eyes, one warm brown and one brilliant blue, are sure to steal your heart.
But Pickles is so much more than a pretty face. She has a wonderfully sweet personality and genuinely loves people. Whether she's making new friends or soaking up attention from her favorite humans, her happy, affectionate nature shines through. She also loves playing with the other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion, though she'd be just as happy being the center of your world.
Like any growing puppy, Pickles has plenty of playful energy and would love a securely fenced yard where she can safely run, play, and explore. She's still working on her house training and will need a family willing to continue teaching her with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.
If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, a playful spirit, and unforgettable eyes, Pickles just might be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet this beautiful girl—you'll fall in love with those striking eyes and her sweet personality the moment you meet her!

9. Jemma
Adult · Female · Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Whiteman AFB




Approx. DOB: 5/15/23 Approx. Weight: 15.5 Lbs
Adoption Fee: $275 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness!
Meet Jemma – A Little Dog with a Big Comeback Story!
At approximately 3 years old and weighing just 12 pounds, Jemma is the perfect little companion with a heart that's learning to trust again. We believe she's a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix, though that's just our best guess.
Jemma came to us from a small rural Missouri shelter, and when she first arrived in her foster home, it was clear life had been overwhelming for her. She was so frightened that even gentle pets on her head made her flinch.
Read more about Jemma
But thanks to patience, love, and a safe place to land, Jemma has blossomed into an entirely different dog.
Today, she's affectionate, playful, and loves being with her people. She's fully housebroken, crate trained, and leash trained, making her an easy companion to have around the house. Jemma already knows sit and stay, and she's almost mastered shake—she's a smart little girl who truly enjoys learning and wants to please.
Jemma gets along wonderfully with the dogs in her foster home as well as visiting canine friends. She enjoys playing and would likely do well with another friendly dog who can continue to build her confidence.
Because of her past, Jemma is still cautious around new people. She can become nervous when meeting strangers and may bark or appear unsure until she realizes she's safe. Her forever family will need to understand that trust isn't given immediately—it is earned. Once Jemma knows you're one of her people, she is incredibly loyal, loving, and devoted.
Jemma has already come so far, and we know her best days are still ahead of her. She's looking for a patient family willing to give her the time she needs to settle in and let her amazing personality continue to shine. Please no children under the age of 13.
If you're the kind of person who believes the most rewarding relationships are built on patience, kindness, and trust, Jemma is waiting to show you just how special she truly is. Could you be the one she's been waiting for?
I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.

Meet Daisy May!
Daisy May is a beautiful, medium-sized girl with a sweet personality and a whole lot of love to give! She definitely seems to have inherited one of those classic Aussie traits — herding her Furry friends around the yard when they're playing! Daisy absolutely loves other dogs and has never shown any signs of dominance toward them. She is truly a lover of all her Furry friends!
Daisy can be a little shy and timid when meeting new people. It takes her a bit of time to warm up, but trust us, she's worth the extra effort! Once she gets comfortable with you, you'll have a loyal best friend by your side.
Read more about Daisy May
Having another dog in the family would be a wonderful bonus for Daisy and would help her feel more confident as she settles into her new home.
With her friendly, gentle nature toward other dogs, Daisy would likely be a wonderful addition to a family that enjoys trips to the dog park. She'll be excited to make plenty of new Furry friends!
Daisy is crate trained, housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash when wearing her harness. She is an incredibly gentle girl with a heart full of love.
Daisy May is ready to find her forever family. She's going to make some very lucky family an absolutely fantastic companion! ❤️
Daisy May came to us with Heartworms. She has had heartworm treatment.
I have been spayed, vaccinated, treated for heartworms and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.

12. Snoopy
Young · Male · Terrier / Toy Fox Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Whiteman AFB




Approx. DOB: 8/23/25 Approx Weight: 16 Lbs
Adoption Fee: $250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness!
Meet Snoopy — a happy, affectionate little guy with endless puppy energy and a heart full of love! We believe Snoopy is a Jack Russell Terrier mix, and true to the breed, he is smart, active, athletic, and always ready for fun. His favorite things include giving kisses, playing with other dogs, and zooming around the yard at top speed!
Snoopy is still very much a puppy and is learning his manners and basic routines. He understands commands Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Come, No, Let's potty, Let's ride, and Let's eat!
He would thrive with an active family that can continue his training and give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation.
Read more about Snoopy
A home with another playful dog would be a huge plus since he loves canine companionship and learns well from other dogs.
Because Snoopy is incredibly fast and can jump surprisingly high, a secure fenced yard is a must for this adventurous boy. He loves to run and explore, and he’ll need a family committed to keeping him safe and active.
Snoopy gets along great with other dogs, but he is very interested in chasing cats, so a cat-free home — or one with a very dog-savvy, confident cat — would likely be the best fit.
Snoopy goes through the doggie door to potty.
He is a snuggle bug. He will snuggle up with you for a nap and loves to sleep under the covers with you at bedtime. He sleeps all night!
If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, high-energy companion who will keep you laughing and shower you with kisses, Snoopy may be your perfect match!
I have been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.

Mikey is housebroken and crate trained, too! When Furry Kids Refuge welcomed him into our group, he tested positive for heartworms. He bravely completed his treatment and is now heartworm free! We couldn't be happier for this boy!
Mikey loves adventures just as much as he loves cuddles. Trips to the dog park to make new friends, car rides, and leisurely walks around the neighborhood are all right up his alley.

Adopting a dog in Whiteman AFB
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
