Adopt a pet (Nov. 1)

Leo the Goofball, a 2-year-old male Labrador retriever mix, is available for adoption from Kansas Humane Society.

Look! This is my innocent “will you take me home?” face. Is it working? Well, I’m Leo and I hope that I can wow you with my goofy personality and cute appearance. But I’m much more than just a pretty face. I’m capable of big-time love and affection, and I hope I can show you at KHS sometime.

Also available:

▪ Tuff the Busy Bee, 6-year-old male long-haired dachshund mix

Hey there, good lookin’, let’s get to cookin’ on a fun adventure! That’s what life’s all about, isn’t it? Fun and games, adventures, travel and spending time with your best friend. That is exactly what I would like to be with you. I’m house-trained and I have a very impressive resume. I’ve lived with other dogs and several children before. Adopting me from KHS will make your house a home.

▪ Fizz the Free Spirit, 1-year-old male Labrador retriever mix

Hi, my name is Fizz. Can I play a game with you? I’ll list three words that describe me, and then I’ll list three words that describe you. Intelligent, independent and confident: Those words perfectly describe this adorable pooch. Your turn: “Wanting a dog” are the three words for you. How perfect. Swing by KHS today to adopt me.

▪ Maxwell the Leader of the Band, 2-year-old male cat, domestic shorthair mix

I am a sweet boy who loves to explore and to cuddle. I like to play and I’m constantly on the move. I was found as a stray and I have a lot of love to make up for. Please consider making me a part of your family. I promise to make your decision to adopt one of the best you’ve ever made.

▪ Samantha, 6-month-old female cat, domestic shorthair mix

Don’t I just look delightful? Well, I know one thing for sure: You’ll be feeling delight after adopting me into your family. My fur is as soft as silk, and my purrs are as sweet as sugar. That makes for a pretty fantastic combination. Well, don’t just stare at my photo, make a visit to see me.
